NFL draft back to being all about QBs at the top

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:04:05 GMT

Quarterbacks are back on top in the NFL draft.A year after the first 19 picks were non-QBs and Kenny Pickett was the only signal-caller selected in the first round, this draft class is loaded with potential franchise players.Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud have been the center of attention since before last year’s draft even took place. They could become the ninth pair of QBs selected 1-2 in the Super Bowl era. Anthony Richardson and Will Levis should make it four QBs in the top 15, which has happened only five times previously. If they all go in the top 10, it’ll be the second time ever. Then there’s Hendon Hooker, who may end up being a late first-round pick despite his age and knee injury. There’s no consensus at No. 1 this year like there was in 2021 when everyone knew Trevor Lawrence was going to Jacksonville but momentum has been building toward Young going first to Carolina. The 2021 Heisman Trophy winner at Alabama is an overwhelming favorite to go No. 1, according to FanDuel Sp...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:04:05 GMT

The New York Jets re-signed durable center Connor McGovern on Monday, addressing one of the team’s major needs before the NFL draft this week.McGovern has been the Jets’ starting center the past three seasons, starting 48 games and missing only two since signing as a free agent in 2020. Contract terms weren’t immediately available.The Jets have the No. 13 overall pick in the draft, which begins Thursday night, along with Nos. 42 and 43 in the second round. While offensive tackle remains the likely target with its first pick, New York was thought to be interested in the top centers with one of its second-rounders — if they don’t include one or both in a potential trade with Green Bay for quarterback Aaron Rodgers.Rodgers announced in March during an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on YouTube and Sirius XM his intention is to continue playing — and for the Jets. New York and Green Bay continue to work on a deal that would send the four-time NFL MVP to the J...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:04:05 GMT

LA JUNTA, Colo. (KDVR) — For the first time in Colorado, a bat has been infected with a deadly disease known as white-nose syndrome.

STEM students visit Port Everglades for USS Cole tour

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:04:05 GMT

As Fleet Week entered its opening days, STEM students in Fort Lauderdale sailed into new territory on Monday as they toured the USS Cole and learned about the workload of a sailor.“We’ve got electricians, we got people that can weld, we got people who work on sophisticated equipment, fiber-optics,” said Commander James Welsch.The tour may encourage the students to work on a ship in the future.“They’re interacting with those sailors, about what they do every day and how important science and technology education is really, really important for us,” Welsch said. It’s a unique opportunity in more ways than one.“This entire area we’re sitting in is actually part of American history. All of this was actually destroyed,” said Senior Chief Marcelo Baquero-Álvarez.The ship, which was commissioned in Port Everglades in the late ’90s, survived a terrorist attack in Yemen on Oct. 12, 2000.Although 17 sailors were lost in that at...

Heavy downpours cause flooding in Aventura, thunderstorm watch issued for parts of Broward County

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:04:05 GMT

Heavy downpours were dumped in areas that have been already saturated by days of rain.A 7News camera captured deep water at a gas station in Aventura, at about 186th Avenue, near Dixie Highway, Monday afternoon. Flooding in these areas caused street closures and traffic delays. And it wasn’t just Aventura. Heavy rain came down in Northwest Miami-Dade and Miami Shores was far from dry.The heavy downpours started at around 9 a.m., which led to street flood advisories for several areas in Miami-Dade County, which have since expired. Back in Aventura shoppers loaded groceries. “It takes a long time for the puddles, for the puddles to go down,” Jessica said. “They don’t have the right way of bringing down the water.”Apparently, pumps are there to help move the water, but it looks like it flows right back into the parking lot.The South Florida rainy season is well underway. If heavy rains weren’t already a problem, the National Weather Service said res...

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The identity of the so-called Valentine’s Day bandit, responsible for leaving hundreds of red hearts in downtown Portland for more than four decades, has been revealed in death.Kevin Fahrman, of Falmouth, was chief instigator of a group of feel-good pranksters who struck every year on Feb. 14, family and friends said, a tradition that put smiles on people’s faces while leaving behind an enduring mystery of who was responsible. He was 67 when died on Friday.Portland Mayor Kate Snyder said it was sad to lose such a local treasure “and bittersweet to have him revealed.”“The Valentine’s Day bandit has given so much to the Portland community. His gift of love was anticipated by so many each February. I hope the tradition continues — it would be a wonderful tribute to someone who brought love and hope to all of us annually,” the mayor said.The love and levity started in the mid-1970s before Fahrman took it over in 1979.Over the years, simple white sheets of pa...
