Broncos Draft Buffalo LB Red Murdock As Mr. Irrelevant

By | at April 25, 2026 6:06 pm

With the final pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Broncos have made Buffalo linebacker Red Murdock this year’s Mr. Irrelevant. He sneaks his way into the seventh round of the draft at No. 257 overall.

This is actually far under where Murdock was projected to go. A starter for the Bulls over the last two years, Murdock’s propensity for making plays had him projected by some to go much closer to the start of Day 3.The 22-year-old arrived in Buffalo after attending Fork Union Military Academy, and after a minor roles in his first year with the Bulls, he started earning more playing time in 2023. Elevating into a starting role over the back half of that season, Murdock ended his time in college with 31 straight starts.

Murdock had a strong nose for the ball on the Bulls defense. In his two full years of starting duty, he tallied 298 total tackles, seven sacks, and 30.0 tackles for loss. One of Murdock’s most striking attributes was his ability to separate ballcarriers from the rock. Just over the last three years of his career, Murdock forced 17 fumbles — an FBS record for a college career. His seven forced fumbles in 2024 set another NCAA record for most in a single season. The only caveats that come with his crowded stat sheet is that much of that production came against opponents who likely will not be playing on Sundays.

Murdock joins a linebacking corps in Denver led by returning starters Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad. Dre Greenlaw, who served as LB3 for the Broncos last year, returned back to San Francisco in free agency, and the team didn’t address the position in free agency, aside from re-signing Singleton. Joining one of the NFL’s best defenses from last year with linebackers that Pro Football Focus (subscription required) ranked the 24th- and 25th-best at their position seems like an ideal situation for Murdock. He should have every opportunity to earn a role somewhere in the Broncos’ system, and if he can make the transition from MAC to NFL without a dropoff in production, he may stand a chance at sticking.

Chiefs Draft QB Garrett Nussmeier At No. 249

By | at April 25, 2026 5:46 pm

Garrett Nussmeier‘s lengthy draft wait has come to an end. The LSU quarterback has been drafted with pick No. 249 by the Chiefs.

Nussmeier was mentioned alongside the likes of Carson Beck and Drew Allar as a candidate to be selected at some point on Day 2 of the draft. Beck was taken by the Cardinals while the Steeler added Allar. Nussmeier, on the other hand, remained available heading into Saturday. It has taken until well into the seventh round for his name to be called.

Commanders Add Rutgers QB Athan Kaliakmanis In Seventh Round

By | at April 25, 2026 5:15 pm

While LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier remains on the board in a stunning slide, the Commanders have added a new arm to their quarterbacks room in Athan Kaliakmanis. The Rutgers product becomes the eighth passer off the board and the first of the seventh round at No. 223 overall.

Kaliakmanis’ journey started at Minnesota where he spent three years as a Golden Gopher. After redshirting as a true freshman, Kaliakmanis earned his first starting opportunity when usual starter Tanner Morgan went was held out with a concussion. Morgan got injured again two weeks later, and Kaliakmanis took over down the stretch, starting five games and going 3-2 as a starter, including a win in the team’s bowl game. He won the starting job for Minnesota in 2023, and after a 5-7 campaign he transferred to the Rutgers.

Kaliakmanis continued to develop with the Scarlet Knights, improving each year as a passer. After sporting completion percentages of 53.1 and 53.9 in his first two years of full-time starting duties, Kaliakmanis finished 2025 at a mark of 62.2 percent. He also ended his collegiate career with highs of 3,124 passing yards and 20 passing touchdowns in his final season, throwing seven interceptions in each of his final two years of play. Kaliakmanis also demonstrated decent mobility at Rutgers. In 2024, he rushed for 251 yards and three touchdowns.

Kaliakmanis heads to a crowded quarterbacks room in Washington. Jayden Daniels is the clear starter, while Marcus Mariota and Sam Hartman serve as two generations of backups. Kaliakmanis’ production in college may not excite, but the 22-year-old has the physical tools to compete and showed a lot of improvement in his last season of play. He should be granted an opportunity to compete with Hartman for a shot at QB3.

Packers Acquire 216th Pick, Draft K Trey Smack

By | at April 25, 2026 4:30 pm

The Packers have acquired the 216th selection from the Seahawks, according to Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times. The Seahawks received Nos. 236 and 255 in return, per Brady Henderson of ESPN.

Green Bay moved up late on Day 3 to select Florida kicker Trey Smack. With the draft nearing an end, Smack became the first kicker off the board and the second Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst has drafted. Gutekunst previously spent a sixth-rounder on Anders Carlson in 2023, but he only lasted one season with the team.

Smack, who handled field goals in three of four years at Florida, was among the most dependable kickers in college football. A two-time semifinalist for the Lou Groza Award (given to the nation’s best kicker), Smack made 53 of 64 field goals (82.8%) and converted 10 of 13 from 50-plus yards. He also missed just one of 101 extra points with the Gators.

The Packers’ addition of Smack comes just over 13 months after they re-signed kicker Brandon McManus to a three-year, $15.3MM deal in March 2025. McManus went on to miss three games with a quad injury. Lucas Havrisik filled in while he was out. When healthy, McManus hit 24 of 30 FGs (80%) and 32 of 33 PATs. The Packers made it to the playoffs, but McManus’ three misses against the Bears proved costly in a 31-27 wild-card round loss. Along with failing to convert either field goal attempt, he missed one of his four extra points.

With Smack now in the fold, McManus’ job is in obvious jeopardy. Head coach Matt LaFleur said Saturday that the two will compete for the role (via Ryan Wood of USA Today).

Bears Trade Up For Bills’ 213th Overall Pick

By | at April 25, 2026 4:23 pm

The Bears have made a move to come up 26 spots to the back of the sixth round. They are sending pick Nos. 239 and 241 in the seventh round to the Bills to move up for Georgia Tech defensive tackle Jordan Van Den Berg. Van Den Berg makes history today as the first ever South African-born player to be selected in the NFL Draft.

Chicago has had a versatile draft up to this point, addressing a different position group with each selection. With this trade up, the Bears have added depth on their defensive interior with a decent amount of potential. It’s been a long road for Van Den Berg, who began his path to the NFL through community college before landing in Happy Valley. After three years in rotation role on the defensive line at Penn State, Van Den Berg transferred to the Yellow Jackets for a starting opportunity.

Starting his time at Georgia Tech coming off the bench, Van Den Berg quickly outperformed his bench role and worked his way into the starting lineup by Week 6. In that first year in Atlanta, Van Dan Berg started to show a knack for disruption with a sack and five tackles for loss. Given the opportunity to play as a full-time starter in 2025, he expanded that production, recording career highs in total tackles (44), sacks (3.0), and tackles for loss (11.0). He comes to the league with an NFL-ready frame but will need to work through some stiffness to be effective at the next level.

The Bears return Gervon Dexter and Grady Jarrett and as likely starters on the interior defensive line and signed Neville Gallimore, Kentavius Street, and James Lynch in free agency to join last year’s second-round pick Shemar Turner and fill out the room. That’s a lot of bodies for Van Den Berg to move past on the depth chart, making it a difficult road to a spot on the 53-man roster. There may be a plan in place for Van Den Berg to end up on the practice squad to start his career, where he will be able to qualify for the NFL’s International Player Pathway Program and not count against the taxi squad’s 16-man limit.

Rams Add No. 197 From Eagles, Select WR CJ Daniels

By | at April 25, 2026 3:44 pm

The Rams are completing a three-for-one trade as the draft nears its conclusion. They will add No. 197 from the Eagles in exchange for Nos. 207, 251 and 252, ESPN.com’s Tim McManus tweets.

Los Angeles drafted Miami wide receiver CJ Daniels at 197. This continues a high-volume draft for the Hurricanes, the 2025 CFP runners-up. It also thins out the remaining capital available to Los Angeles as the closing stages of the draft play out.

The Rams have exclusively brought in rookies on offense so far this weekend. The team added at the tight spot by selecting Max Klare yesterday, and Daniels will now look to offer depth out wide. Los Angeles’ receiver depth chart will of course be topped once again by Puka Nacua and Davante Adams in 2026, but the team elected not to add an option like Makai Lemon on Day 1 and instead went with quarterback Ty Simpson.

That decision left WR as a potential need for the later rounds of the draft, and the Rams have moved up to ensure an addition winds up being made. Daniels began his collegiate career at Liberty, spending four years there. That was followed by a single campaign at LSU and then a transfer to Miami for 2025. Contested catches were a specialty for the 6-2, 202-pounder even after he matched up against stronger competition. Strong play in the red zone could thus be Daniels’ path to a roster spot this summer.

As a result of this trade, the Rams only own one more pick today (No. 232). The Eagles, meanwhile, are set to remain busy through the seventh and final round of the event with the selections added in this swap.

Vikings Acquire No. 198, Select RB Demond Claiborne

By | at April 25, 2026 3:40 pm

For the second time in a few minutes, the Patriots have traded down. The defending AFC champions traded No. 191 to the Jaguars and have now moved No. 198 to the Vikings.

Minnesota will send No. 234 and a 2027 sixth-round pick to New England, the Boston Herald’s Doug Kyed tweets. The Vikings are using the 198th choice on Wake Forest running back Demond Claiborne.

Claiborne totaled just 14 carries in 2022, his first year with the Demon Deacons, before taking over as their lead back. He had a breakout season in 2024, a 12-game showing in which he rushed for 1,049 yards and 11 touchdowns on 228 attempts. Claiborne added another 254 yards and two scores on 23 catches.

Claiborne amassed fewer carries (179) in a dozen games last season as he dealt with ball security issues. While he finished with five fumbles, he put up 907 yards on 5.1 per tote and recorded 10 TDs. Claiborne also pulled in a personal-best 28 grabs, though his yardage total fell to 140 (a paltry 5.0 per reception).

The 5-foot-10, 188-pound Claiborne possesses 4.37 speed and is similar in size to Dolphins star De’Von Achane (5-9, 191). Between his athleticism and pass-catching skills, Claiborne is “low-calorie” version of Achane, Dane Brugler of The Athletic observes. Claiborne will begin his NFL career behind Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason, but those two are only under contract for another year. That could give Claiborne a chance to carve out an important role in the Vikings’ offense in the near future.
