Cleveland will get the 2025 fifth overall pick, 36th overall pick, 126th overall pick, and a 2026 first-rounder from Jacksonville. It’s a big price to pay, but one that could pay off as Hunter (6'0/188) joins elite WR Brian Thomas Jr. as legit weapons for Trevor Lawrence. The Jaguars received the second overall pick, 104th overall pick (4th round), and 200th overall pick (6th round) in the trade with the Browns. Football’s answer to Shohei Ohtani, Hunter (6’0/188) is also a throwback to NFL’s old newsreel and leather helmet days with his two-way stardom. A genuine every-snap player on both sides of the ball for the Buffs, Hunter was third in major conference receiving (1,258) and Pro Football Focus’ No. 7 rated corner in all of FBS college football. On offense, Hunter is fluid in and out of his breaks and soars to win down field in contested-catch situations. He uses late, educated hands to disguise his intentions until it’s time to make the catch, disrupting the tempo of defenders. He boasts instant acceleration, allowing him to rack up YAC on nearly every reception. On defense, Hunter’s ball skills in coverage are premium, while the fluidity of his hips is the best in this cornerback class. He transitions freely and easily from backpedal to a dead sprint. Hunter could stand to clean up his tackling, but that’s more of a suggestion than imperative. A generational two-way player the likes of which are almost never seen in modern day football, Hunter’s only question mark is whether he should primarily feature on offense or defense.

Berry was promoted to vice president/player acquisition in 2025 and has spent nearly two decades in the organization in total. The Titans interived him for their GM vacancy last offseason. Another good season or two in Seattle and he should land a GM gig in the near future. Willie Schneider, nephew of GM John Schneider, held the title of director of pro personnel before his latest promotion. He has been with the organization for 13 years.

Keim went as far as to say that a league source was confused when the Commanders drafted Sinnott at No. 53 overall a year ago because he didn’t think the tight end was a fit for Kingsbury’s system. That source was spot on. Sinnott managed just 16 catches for 142 yards and two touchdowns through two seasons. Kingbury has since been fired and replaced by Blough, who previously held the title of assistant quarterbacks coach. Keim called out a deep shot and an intermediate throw over the middle to Sinnott as plays that are indicative of how Blough will use his tight ends in the regular season. Though free agent addition Chig Okonkwo is penciled in as the starter, Sinnott should get more run in his third season. Dynasty managers can leave the light on for him, even if he isn’t a consideration in redraft leagues.

Jackson noted that the rookie tight end was “the top target for the team’s offense” during the team’s first day of minicamp. Most rookie tight ends don’t bring much fantasy value to the table in their first season, but Delp could be the latest exception to that rule, especially if Moore plans to follow the trend of 12 and even 13 personnel sweeping the league. Delp wasn’t awfully productive at Georgia, peaking at just 284 yards as a sophomore, but he is a solid YAC creator and isn’t afraid to put his hand in the dirt to block. Delp should at least be on the radar in all dynasty formats.

Solak is among the NFL analysts identifying the Cardinals as a prime landing spot for Sorsby, who will enter the league’s supplemental draft after forgoing his final collegiate season following a sports betting scandal. The weak-armed Beck, selected by Arizona with the 65th pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, would have little chance of holding off Sorsby this season if the Cards bring in Sorsby, who was graded by Pro Football Focus as the eighth best passer in the nation last year. In Arizona, the dual-threat Sorsby — he had 18 rushing touchdowns over his final two collegiate seasons — would have a real chance at fantasy relevance unless the Cardinals are intent on wasting an entire season with Jacoby Brissett under center.

Yates said Sorsby might have been taken as a top-10 draft pick in 2027 had he remained at Texas Tech this season instead of entering the NFL’s supplemental draft following his sports betting scandal. Yates mentioned the Jets, Cardinals, and Brown as potential suitors for Sorsby, though Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot reported on Tuesday that the Browns were “unlikely” to pursue Sorsby in the supplemental draft. Yates, who complimented Sorsby’s running ability and “moxy,” predicted Sorsby would be selected in the second round of the supplemental draft. The Athletic’s Dane Brugler recently guessed a team would part ways with a Day Three pick to land Sorsby. Sorsby in 2025 ranked eighth in PFF’s passing grades while posting the nation’s second lowest pressure to sack ratio. He ranked 106th in adjusted completion rate.

Vea is due $17 million in the final year of his four-year contract, considerably lower than other top defensive big men around the league. It’s a situation to monitor as the season draws near, with the veteran nose tackle clearly looking for a new deal. Whether the saga carries into camp and the preseason remains to be seen, but it is possible Vea wants to put pen to paper before retaking the field.

Both players were signed following a successful workout with the team Tuesday, parlaying strong seasons in the UFL into NFL contracts. Jackson was a member of the Vikings organization for two seasons but appeared in only three games with the franchise in 2023. Both receivers will look to notch strong camps and preseasons as they attempt to stick on the final 53-man roster in Detroit.

Olave has been on blood thinners after a blood clot was discovered in his lung prior to Week 18 of last season, restricting the alpha wide receiver to individual drills up to this point in the offseason program. The good news is that he’s reportedly set to get off blood thinners in less than two weeks, after which he will look to gain clearance to return to unrestricted football activities. The veteran wide receiver is set to play the 2026 season on the fifth-year option of his rookie contract, making the coming season of utmost importance to his future in New Orleans.

He also admitted that his follow-up procedure was because he was dealing with bone spurs. There’s not really any doubt that Nix will be ready for training camp at this point, and the Broncos seem to be taking it easy with him during mandatory minicamp.

McConkey echoed Jim Harbaugh’s message that he doesn’t view it as a significant concern. It is at least a mild one considering it’s costing McConkey reps in a new offense, and could grow into a bigger one if he’s sidelined longer than the internal estimate. That said, most players recover from hamstring strains in weeks instead of months and there’s no reason to believe McConkey won’t be ready for camp.
