NFL draft

The most-anticipated fight of all time. The best-known horse race. The premier baseball rivalry. The NFL draft.

With the 249th selection in the 2014 NFL Draft, The St Louis Rams took Michael Sam. He enters the NFL as the league's first openly gay player. You might recognize him from a Visa commercial, which he made before the draft even started.

No surprise: Clowney is the Texans' man.

The first round of the 2013 NFL Draft took place last night. The New York Giants made a move that surprised many when they selected offensive lineman Justin Pugh from Syracuse with the 19th overall pick.

If there was any question that the National Football League is concerned with passing, that issue was clarified on Thursday night at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

Short on glam, slim on glitter and no sign of Manti Te'o, the NFL draft was still a solid B-plus.

The Kansas City Chiefs have taken offensive tackle Eric Fisher of Central Michigan to begin the NFL draft Thursday night.

The New York Jets have signed first-round draft pick Quinton Coples to a four-year contract.

A person familiar with the deal says the New York Jets and second-round draft pick Stephen Hill have agreed to terms on a four-year contract worth just under $5 million.

The NFL draft starts this evening in New York with absolutely no drama surrounding the first two picks.
