Surprises, smiles, and shiny shoes: An NFL Draft Round One recap
Night one was super fun. I’m so glad that we’re done speculating about where all the top prospects are going to go, and now can begin looking at actual fit and actual expectations.

Rob Manfred is a weasel, part 708

Deadspin fixes the Falcons: Trade Julio Jones and the No. 4 overall pick
Everyone and their mother is talking about the 49ers’ Kyle Shanahan and the No. 3 overall pick. I’ve done so like six different times now.
