Facts you didn’t know about the NFL Draft
The NFL Draft is fast approaching, so here are some facts about the big event.
unbranded – Sport
At last, the NFL draft is upon us. Time for mock draft 5.0, a final look at what teams will do in Round 1, including the Miami Dolphins, who now have a Jalen Ramsey issue to deal with:
1. Tennessee Titans
QB Cam Ward, Miami
Titans didn’t send an army (including a video crew) to UM’s pro day just to pile up Marriott points.
2. Cleveland Browns
CB/WR Travis Hunter, Colorado
One drama ends, another begins. The Browns decide they can’t pass on Hunter’s versatility, fending off feelers from teams including the Dolphins. Meanwhile, the slide of Hunter’s collegiate teammate, QB Shedeur Sanders, starts.
3. New York Giants
Edge Abdul Carter, Penn State
Seen as an impact player right out of the gate.
4. New England Patriots
OT Will Campbell, LSU
Team that was so active in free agency lands the best offensive lineman on the board.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars
DL Mason Graham, Michigan
NFL.com draft analyst Lance Zierlein compares him to Christian Wilkins.
6. Las Vegas Raiders
RB Ashton Jeanty, Boise State
No reason the Raiders let more than a minute go by when they’re on the clock. We know they like Jeanty. They know they like Jeanty. Now, Jeanty knows it, too.
7. New York Jets
OT Armand Membou, Missouri
Fast riser after running a 4.91 at the Combine and showing uncanny athleticism. May have gone to the Dolphins if he lasted until No. 13.
8. Carolina Panthers
Edge Jalon Walker, Georgia
Multi-talented edge rusher/LB brings leadership to a team hoping to make a move in the NFC South.
9. New Orleans Saints
QB Shedeur Sanders, Colorado
The slide finally ends, giving Mel Kiper something else to yak about. Meanwhile, Sanders’ father sends out a warning to seven teams passing on his son, sparing only the Browns from his wrath.
10. Chicago Bears
Edge James Pearce Jr., Tennessee
Pearce ran 4.47 at the Combine. That’s a hair faster than Chop Robinson’s 40 time (4.48) last year.
11. San Francisco 49ers
Edge Shemar Stewart, Texas A&M
Stewart, who attended Pace High in Miami, is imposing at 6-5 and 267 (14 pounds lighter than at the Senior Bowl). He put up Myles Garrett-like numbers in Combine drills, too.
12. Dallas Cowboys
WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona
Jerry Jones curses the Raiders for taking Jeanty, then goes for someone to pair with CeeDee Lamb.
CB Jahdae Barron, Texas
GM Chris Grier is tempted to take Penn State TE Tyler Warren. Very tempted. He also weighs Michigan CB Will Johnson. But the news that Jalen Ramsey has one foot out the door makes cornerback a need of 911 proportions. Barron won the Thorpe Award as the top DB. He tied for fourth in FBS with five interceptions, had 11 pass breakups and is physical (67 tackles).
14. Indianapolis Colts
TE Tyler Warren, Penn State
Thank you very much, the Colts tell the Dolphins. Mackey Award winner becomes first tight end off the board. Let’s see how many times analysts say the name “Brock Bowers” in relation to this pick.
15. Atlanta
Edge Mike Green, Marshall
Pass rusher provides explosive power the Falcons are looking for.
16. Arizona Cardinals
IOL Tyler Booker, Alabama
Well-rounded, smart and a strong leader.
17. Cincinnati Bengals
DL Walter Nolen, Mississippi
Athletic and explosive, seen as player who can go three downs.
18. Seattle
OT Kelvin Banks, Texas
Needs work on pass protection but Seahawks land a polished run blocker.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Edge Mykel Williams, Georgia
NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein compares him to Buffalo’s Gregory Rousseau. Rising talent who needs experience to catch up to rivals, but the skillset is there.
20. Denver Broncos
TE Colston Loveland, Michigan
Pass-catcher in the mold of Detroit’s Sam LaPorta, but he’s coming off shoulder surgery.
21. Pittsburgh Steelers
S Malaki Starks, Georgia
Player I pegged for the Dolphins ends up sliding from No. 13 to 21 thanks to the Ramsey situation.
22. Los Angeles Chargers
DL Kenneth Grant, Michigan
Jim Harbaugh goes for a Michigan man. Who would have guessed it?
23. Green Bay Packers
Edge Nic Scourton, Texas A&M
Reminds some of Trey Hendrickson. Versatile pass rusher.
24. Minnesota Vikings
S Nick Emmanwori, South Carolina
Athletic safety with tremendous size (6-3, 220) and speed (4.38). Hasn’t always maximized his skills, but maybe Brian Flores can change that.
25. Houston Texans
OT Josh Simmons, Ohio State
Texans hope he can be Laremy Tunsil’s replacement.
26. Los Angeles Rams
WR Emeka Egbuka, Ohio State
Primarily works well out of the slot but without burning speed.
27. Baltimore Ravens
OT Josh Conerly Jr., Oregon
Conerly’s stock said to be rising. Ravens’ wish comes true as stock doesn’t rise enough that he’s gone by No. 27.
28. Detroit Lions
Edge Donovan Ezeiruaku, Boston College
Relies on quickness, bend, athleticism to beat blockers. Three-down player.
29. Washington Commanders
CB Will Johnson, Michigan
Rated as “boom-or-bust potential” by NFL.com, Johnson slides until Commanders come along and are happy to give him a shot.
30. Buffalo Bills
DL Derrick Harmon, Oregon
Should make it tougher for Dolphins to run on the Bills.
31. Kansas City Chiefs
IOL Donovan Jackson, Ohio State
Patrick Mahomes was sacked more times (36) than any other season in the NFL. Jackson and the returning Trey Smith will be counted on to help correct that.
32. Philadelphia Eagles
WR Matthew Golden, Texas
Versatile receiver strengthens an already imposing corps for Jalen Hurts.

Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra: “Regardless of the scheme is, I always go back to that, it’s just about committing to doing hard things. We were really moving in the zone, taking away airspace and scrambling to challenge shots at the rim. In a lot of these losses in the last month we’ve just been giving up shots at the rim and threes.”

Orlando 2-4 Miami (2 Mar, 2026) Game Analysis – ESPN
ORLANDO, Fla. — Lionel Messi scored twice in a four-goal second half, defender Telasco Segovia added a goal and two assists and defending champion Inter Miami CF rallied to beat Orlando City SC 4-2 on Sunday night, winning for the first time at Inter&Co Stadium.
Messi took a pass from Segovia and scored in the 57th minute to tie it 2-2, and Segovia scored unassisted in the 85th for the lead. Messi put the finishing touch on the victory when he scored off a free kick in the 90th.
“The victory belongs exclusively to the players,” Miami coach Javier Mascherano said after the game. “In the second half, they were a championship team. There were no tactics, nothing like that. There was heart, courage, possession, resilience, commitment. I think the team came out because they were champions last year.
“In the end, the players showed it. This victory is theirs.”
Messi’s first two goals of the season give him 52 in his first 55 regular-season MLS matches — 51 of them in his past 49 appearances. It also brought the reigning MLS MVP to 898 career goals scored, including 672 for Barcelona and 115 for Argentina.
“He’s the best player to ever play this sport. He’s a leader, and as a leader, he inspires others, but he also often needs to be inspired himself,” Mascherano said of Messi. “When he was driving forward, he had more attacking options, and with so many opportunities, he clearly has the ability to create chances like no one else, and that’s what allowed us to turn the game around.”
Marco Pašalić took a pass from Iván Angulo and scored in the 18th minute to give Orlando City a 1-0 lead. Pašalić has scored in four straight matches against Inter Miami.
Defender Griffin Dorsey set up Martín Ojeda for a goal six minutes later for a 2-0 advantage that stood through halftime.
Inter Miami cut it to 2-1 four minutes into the second half on Mateo Silvetti’s first career goal. Defenders Segovia and Facundo Mura had assists as the 20-year-old forward found the net in his fifth career appearance.
Segovia had eight goals and six assists as a rookie last season, while Mura collected his first assist in his first season.
Dayne St. Clair, the reigning goalkeeper of the year, turned away three shots — all in the second half of his second start with Inter Miami, but let in a soft goal for Orlando’s first.
Maxime Crépeau had four saves in his second start for Orlando City.
Teenager Colin Guske, 19, will miss Orlando City’s next match after the rookie picked up two yellow cards in his first start — the second one led to his exit in the 88th minute.
Inter Miami, which had never won in its previous nine trips to Orlando, was coming off a 3-0 road loss to LAFC.
Orlando City swept Inter Miami during the regular season last year and leads the all-time series 8-7-4.
Inter Miami plays D.C. United on Saturday at Audi Field. Orlando City is also on the road with a match against New York City FC.
