A new mock draft from Charles McDonald of Yahoo Sports has the Green Bay Packers getting Ohio State wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba at No. 15 overall in the first round of the 2023 draft. McDonald believes the Packers need more talent at wide receiver, and he also thinks Smith-Njigba could be the next Randall Cobb in Green Bay.

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Having released Za’Darius Smith to help get in compliance with the salary cap and last year’s young backups providing meager contributions with Smith missing most of the season, Eric Edholm went with Purdue’s George Karlaftis with the Green Bay Packers’ first pick in a mock draft at Yahoo. Edholm noted some pertinent Packers history in making the first pick. “With receiver somewhat picked over and a quality pass-rush talent on the board, this is the way we’ll go… Source link

In the days leading up to free agency, there is bound to be a lot of “ smoke and mirror” games across the league. Some, if not most, is unsubstantiated, but it’s a period where teams begin to fill in the blanks on their rosters. The Steelers have long been a team that prefers building through the draft, nurturing their own draft picks into star-caliber players. With more cap room than they’ve had in quite some time, perhaps this year will be an outlier as the team looks to not go… Source link

If you’re new to the Head-to-Head categories format, which tends to be most popular on competitor sites like Yahoo, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with the quirks upfront: two utility spots instead of one, four flex pitcher spots in addition to two… Source link

GREEN BAY, Wis. – A first-round pick in 2016, Kenny Clark has carried the Green Bay Packers’ defensive line for most of his six NFL seasons. It’s just not a position the Packers have dedicated a lot of resources. Over the last eight drafts, Clark is the only defensive lineman they’ve selected within the first 90 picks. Could that change this year? A lot of that depends on Green Bay’s list of needs following free agency, but it’s a possibility. In Yahoo’s latest mock draft, the… Source link

The Head-to-Head categories format, which pits two teams against each other each week while implementing 5×5 scoring rather than points, tends to be most popular on competitor sites like Yahoo but is of course also available through CBS. And it brings its own challenges that allow for distinct approaches. The quirks are worth noting upfront: two utility spots instead of one, four flex pitcher spots in addition to two SPs… Source link

We’re now two years removed from Kawhi Leonard’s decision to leave the Toronto Raptors after capturing the franchise’s first title and join the Los Angeles Clippers in pursuit of a championship in L.A.  Those aspirations haven’t exactly gone as planned. Despite tying their first round series 2-2 on the road against the Dallas Mavericks, the Clippers are (once again) on the brink of elimination after losing Game 5 on their home court Thursday night. To make matters worse, Kawhi and his… Source link

For some lucky fanbases, it’s the NBA Playoffs. For Detroit Pistons faithful, it’s mock draft szn. Until the NBA Draft Lottery on June 22, the Pistons will be picking second in these mock drafts. That means a lot of Jalen Green, Evan Mobley and Jalen Suggs. What it also means is not a lot of Cade Cunningham, the golden goose of the draft. Except, maybe it doesn’t. Krysten Peek of Yahoo! Sports released a mock draft today that actually had the Pistons landing Cunningham with the… Source link

Auburn’s 2021-22 basketball season is still six month away from beginning but the people over at Yahoo Sports are already looking at where two Tigers might end up in the 2022 NBA draft. High up on the list is Jabari Smith Jr., the incoming freshman and highest-ranked recruit in program history. He is slotted at the No. 3 overall spot. “Smith Jr.’s dad, Jabari Smith, played four years in the NBA and five years overseas. Last fall, Smith Jr. went up against Holmgren at the Pangos West… Source link

It can’t always be about Rotisserie leagues or Head-to-Head points. Every now and then, we need to show some love for the format that’s ever so popular on certain competitors like Yahoo. Yes, I’m referring to the Head-to-Head categories format. You know the quirks by now: two utility spots instead of one, four flex pitcher spots in addition to two SPs and two RPs, a weekly innings minimum, etc. It still uses traditional… Source link
