Some understandably assumed after the Cleveland Browns grabbed Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel with the 94th pick of the 2025 NFL Draft that the Browns would eventually name either veteran Joe Flacco or 2022 first-round selection Kenny Pickett their 2025 Week 1 starter.  However, the situation changed after the Browns traded up to select

The NFL may never see a fifth-round pick overshadow its draft again, but it certainly happened this past weekend.

The player the Titans tabbed to be their hopeful A.J. Brown replacement, Treylon Burks has not panned out.

After spending the weekend sorting through each team’s draft class, Yardbarker NFL writers have so many questions. What were the Atlanta Falcons thinking by parting with so much 2026 draft capital?

After making an addition along the defensive interior during the opening round of the draft, the Steelers are parting ways with a veteran at that spot.
