You can tell when an analyst is faking their way through something and hasn’t really watched a player or a play. That’ll never be the case with ESPN’s Field Yates. Yates has been an ESPN insider for several years now but has recently focused more on the NFL Draft. In his latest mock draft, Yates had the San Francisco 49ers trading up with the Dallas Cowboys. John Lynch and the front office haven’t been shy about trading up or down in the NFL Draft. There are a few plausible scenarios where the 49ers deem a player valuable enough to move…

As the 2023-24 season winds down, the Los Angeles Lakers have played like one of the better teams in the NBA as they’ve won eight of their last nine games with their most recent victory coming against the hapless Washington Wizards. It’s going to be an uphill climb for the Lakers to move up in the standings, but they still have a chance to get out of the ninth spot and avoid having to win two games in the Play-In Tournament to qualify for the postseason. LeBron James and Anthony Davis remain the constants for the team, though they’ve gotten…

The 2024 NFL Draft is 22 days away and all NFL teams are preparing for the next influx of young talent. At The Star, the Cowboys are hyper-focusing on the draft as their only real option to improve the team. If you ask Stephen Jones, he will tell you the salary cap situation is tight. It might be, and if that’s the case, the Cowboys need to hit on every one of their picks in the draft. The rest of the NFC East is drafting, too, and although the Cowboys can’t play defense during the draft, they can hope that…

Few players in recent Steelers franchise history have had a spark that faded as quick as Chase Claypool. After bouncing around the NFL, the Notre Dame product is now a free agent, and the CFL is showing interest. The Saskatchewan Roughriders have added Chase Claypool to their exclusive negotiating list, according to 3downnation.com. This means that if Claypool were to go to the CFL, the Roughriders would have the right to begin negotiations with him before any other team. The former second-round pick looked bound for stardom during his rookie season in which he caught 62 passes for nine touchdowns,…

The Los Angeles Lakers picked up another dominant victory as things continue to go well on this road trip. This time it was D’Angelo Russell leading the way with 25 points as the Lakers defeated the Toronto Raptors by 17. This was a game the Lakers should win as the Raptors are in the midst of a massive losing streak, but those games can be dangerous if teams overlook them. Thankfully the Lakers didn’t do that, but instead went out and took care of business, which is what Russell felt the team needed to do, via Spectrum SportsNet: “Just trying…

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James did not confirm nor deny the rumors that his eldest son, Bronny James, is set to enter the transfer portal following his dismal freshman season with the USC Trojans. “I don’t know where it came from, but at the end of the day, Bronny’s his own man and he has some tough decisions to make. When he’s ready to make those decisions he’ll let us all know, but as his family we’re going to support whatever he does,” James told reporters following the Lakers’ 128-111 win against the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday, April 2.…

As the 2024 NFL Draft draws closer and closer, the biggest needs for the Pittsburgh Steelers are becoming much clearer, as are the positions and players that they seem set to target, especially early in the draft. Offensive tackle, center, and wide receiver are seemingly at the top of the list, making things a bit easier for draft analysts to try and peg players for the Black and Gold. For ESPN’s Field Yates, who dropped his latest mock draft Wednesday morning, the two needs he addressed first were center and wide receiver in his two-round mock draft. At No. 20…
