This selection would address a need but it would feel like a waste of a premium selection for the Dallas Cowboys.

In the latest mock from our Christian D’Andrea — a top-five mini-mock — he had Ward going No. 1 to the Tennessee Titans. But in Bucky Brooks’ first NFL.com mock of the season, he had Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders going as the first overall pick to the Titans, with Ward going No. 3 to the New York Giants, who are also desperate for a quarterback.

Shedeur Sanders didn't take the field at the East-West Shrine Bowl. The star 2025 NFL Draft prospect did, however, drop a hint about his future on the AT&T Stadium turf, telling NFL Media on Thursday that he knows he'll be suiting up in the stadium to play "against the [Dallas] Cowboys" before long.

Alabama's Jalen Milroe is far from a perfect quarterback prospect, but isn't that true for most of them? Actually, I think we've been spoiled of late at the top of recent drafts with transcendent type quarterback prospects with elite-level traits and outstanding collegiate production across multiple seasons that led to those passers being selected very early.

Quarterback Jalen Milroe was great on the final day of Senior Bowl practices, while top tight ends continued their week-long rise.

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker issued a statement Thursday, denying allegations made against him for alleged sexual misconduct while visiting several massage studios. The NFL plans to look into the matter.
