Wings Move On From Cossa, Acquire No. 23 Pick to Draft Hurlbert

Detroit traded goalie Sebastian Cossa to the Utah Mammoth for a first-round pick (No. 23), which the Wings used to select Kamloops left wing J.P. Hurlbert. Cossa, 23, never secured a stable NHL role despite flashes in the minors, and fellow Czech rookie Michal Postava posted stronger numbers (GAA 1.71, SV% .937) and led the Griffins' playoff run, making him the likely backup. With Cossa no longer waiver-exempt, Detroit opted to recoup the asset and pivot to Postava, effectively ending Cossa’s Detroit career after 45 NHL minutes.

Moreno projected as a likely first-round pick in 2027 NBA mock drafts

Early 2027 NBA mock drafts from ESPN, CBS Sports, Bleacher Report, On3 and NBA Draft Room all project Kentucky seven‑foot center Malachi Moreno as a likely first‑round pick, with various outlets listing him around Nos. 20–31 (and in the 30s on ESPN’s board). Moreno, coming off an All‑SEC Freshman season, averaged 7.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.5 blocks in 22.6 minutes per game in 2025‑26 and chose to return to Kentucky to continue developing, aiming to solidify a first‑round selection next June.

Roseman Lands Two 2028 First-Round Picks in A.J. Brown Trade

Roseman Lands Two 2028 First-Round Picks in A.J. Brown Trade

The Eagles sent A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots for a package led by a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-rounder after Howie Roseman refused to accept less; Brown reunites with Mike Vrabel in New England and will work with quarterback Drake Maye, while the Rams backed out over medical concerns. Brown acknowledged public frustration with the Eagles and a drift with Jalen Hurts but stressed there’s no bad blood. Philadelphia now holds two 2028 first-rounders, providing long-term cap flexibility to pursue other players, as Brown’s injury history and durability were noted in the discussion.

A.J. Brown Trade Talks Hit Impasse Over First-Round Price

The Eagles and Patriots remain at an impasse in talks to trade A.J. Brown, with a June deadline looming as Brown's contract becomes more tradable. Philadelphia reportedly seeks a 2027 first-round pick, while New England is reluctant to part with such a premium asset, creating a stall that could require a compromise (possibly a 2028 first-rounder) and no quick resolution is expected, according to insiders.

Patriots weigh A.J. Brown deal: would a 2028 first be worth it?

Patriots weigh A.J. Brown deal: would a 2028 first be worth it?

New England’s Patriots mailbag asks whether trading for A.J. Brown is worth surrendering a 2028 first-round pick. Brown’s four straight 1,000-yard seasons and $32M/year contract make him highly valuable, but the value of a future first is murky; using a trade-value framework, a 2028 first could be worth roughly 63–76 points depending on how future picks are discounted. The piece notes a contrasting, earlier trade for Jonathan Greenard (two thirds) and labels Brown as a premium asset, making the move a high-stakes, speculative decision rather than an imminent one, amid OTAs and other roster questions.

Achane Trade Hinge: Dolphins Would Seek First-Round Return Before Extending Star RB

Achane Trade Hinge: Dolphins Would Seek First-Round Return Before Extending Star RB

ESPN’s Dan Graziano suggests the Dolphins didn’t move star RB De’Von Achane during the draft because only a first-round pick would have altered their view of him as part of the future; Miami is pursuing a long-term extension, likely in the $12–14 million/year range, and a trade remains unlikely but could hinge on offers or future contract/cap space changes after June 1.

Bruins' top-10 dream fades as Maple Leafs win lottery

Boston went into the NHL Draft Lottery with a 58.1% chance to land Toronto’s 2026 first-round pick, but the Maple Leafs won and retained the pick, denying the Bruins a top-10 selection. The likely payout for Boston is Toronto’s unprotected 2028 first-round pick (barring any 2027-pick top-10 twists), a long-term asset rather than immediate help as the Bruins navigate their core’s prime years.

Titans land Tate with fourth overall pick in 2026 NFL Draft

The Tennessee Titans selected Ohio State WR Carnell Tate with the fourth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, adding a 6-2, 192-pound playmaker who totaled 121 receptions for 1,872 yards and 14 TD in three seasons at Ohio State (including 875 yards and 9 TD in 2025). Tate expressed gratitude for the Titans’ belief in him after meeting with the team during the pre-draft process, and hopes to help boost Tennessee’s passing game alongside QB Cam Ward.

Rams' forward-looking draft-night trade sets up 13th pick and title chase

Los Angeles Rams benefited from last year's draft-night deal with Atlanta, trading their own first- and third-round picks for the Falcons' second- and seventh-round picks plus Atlanta's 2026 first-round pick. While the Falcons faced leadership changes and the legal issues surrounding pass rusher James Pearce, the Rams—under GM Les Snead and coach Sean McVay—still hold the 13th overall pick and can either select another impact player or maneuver for more assets, highlighting their long-term plan and continued contention.

Bengals Pull Off First-Round Swap to Land Dexter Lawrence

The Cincinnati Bengals reportedly traded their No. 10 overall pick to the New York Giants for Dexter Lawrence, a 340-pound defensive tackle who can play nose or three-tech, instantly boosting Cincinnati’s interior run defense and pass rush. It marks the franchise’s first-ever first-round-for-player swap and signals a broader defensive overhaul with Joe Burrow already in place. Lawrence could command a new, lucrative extension, and Cincinnati hopes to retain its other top DTs as part of the revamped interior line.

Dexter Lawrence trade market stays quiet as Giants hold firm on price

There’s very little interest from other teams in meeting the Giants’ price for star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, who is under contract for two more years. The Giants reportedly want a first-round pick and additional assets, but Lawrence’s reduced production in 2025 weakens his leverage. If he rebounds in 2026, an extension could be revisited; otherwise the Giants could move on without him.

Crosby deal narrows Eagles’ A.J. Brown trade path

After the Ravens acquired Maxx Crosby, the Eagles’ chance of trading for A.J. Brown narrows: Baltimore is out because they no longer have a first-round pick, leaving the Patriots as the likely destination, with the Chargers and Rams having shown interest but dropping out. Philadelphia is demanding a package including a first- and second-round pick plus a player to offset Brown’s roughly $20 million cap hit and hopes to finalize a deal before the new league year, potentially enabling the re-signing of Jaelan Phillips.
