    Jaguars' 2026 NFL draft class receives low grades from experts
    With the dust having somewhat settled on the Jacksonville Jaguars' 2026 NFL draft class, let's see what grades the experts are giving GM James Gladstone for his selections.The truth is, it takes three to four years to actually know whether a draft class was any good or not. So grading these picks a few hours after it's all said and done is a bit premature, to say the least.The draft experts were underwhelmed by the Jaguars Day 2 selections, but as Gladstone described, there is a specific vision that he had in mind with those picks."We ended up with four guys who fit the bill for exactly what we're hunting up and feel like we were able to level up in a few different areas that going into 2026, we were really excited about addressing," Gladstone said on Friday. "As the trends across the NFL begin to show themselves, not only over the last season, but the back half of the season and what we anticipate being big pieces to the puzzle over the course of this next season I think that was a real reflection of the decisions that we made."Now, let's see how the Jaguars' draft class as a whole graded out. Below is a look at Jacksonville's 10-man draft class, followed by the grades these picks received.List of Jaguars' 2026 NFL draft picksPick 56: Nate Boerkircher, TE, Texas A&MPick 81: Albert Regis, IDL, Texas A&MPick 88: Emmanuel Pregnon, G, OregonPick 100: Jalen Huskey, DB, MarylandPick 119: Wesley Williams, DE, DukePick 164; Tanner Koziol, TE, HoustonPick 191: Josh Cameron, WR, BaylorPick 191: Josh Cameron, WR, BaylorPick 233: Zach Durfee, DE, WashingtonPick 240: Parker Hughes, LB, Middle Tennessee StateNFL draft experts grade Jacksonville Jaguars' 2026 classUSA Today: DThey said it: "They lost RB Travis Etienne and LB Devin Lloyd in free agency but didnt seem compelled to replace either with a lofty pick this year, opting for a blocking tight end and D-line depth. Third-round G Emmanuel Pregnon is the most notable incoming rookie and the one likely to contribute significantly the earliest." - Nate DavisPFF: D+They said it: "Boerkircher will be one of the oldest prospects in the class as a sixth-year senior, but he showed depth-level NFL ability in 2025. He is a tenacious run blocker with strong competitive toughness and better athleticism than his receiving production suggests. He projects as a Day 3 depth option with versatile blocking value." - PFFSports Illustrated: DThey said it: "If this ends up being one of the better classes in 2026, general manager James Gladstone will be able to laugh at the criticism, but this is my lowest-rated team. On the surface, Boerkircher is a reach who projects as a pure Y tight end. Regis will provide depth and Pregnon is a good value as a third-rounder who could start this year or next. However, Huskey is another projection who may be limited to special teams. Without a pick on Thursday, the Jaguars were in a tough spot and they didnt add enough on Friday to warrant a top grade." - Matt VerderameCBS Sports: B-They said it: "Jacksonville did ace its Emmanuel Pregnon pick in Round 3. The offensive line is far from the Jaguars' weakest position, but how could they pass on a guard who some thought could have flown off the board on Day 1? That's an awesome depth addition and the only thing keeping Jacksonville out of the Cs." - Carter BahnsThis article originally appeared on Jaguars Wire: 2026 NFL draft: Experts grade Jaguars 10 selections

    Dosunmu scores 43 points as Timberwolves overcome injuries to beat Nuggets 112-96 for 3-1 lead
    MINNEAPOLIS Ayo Dosunmu scored a career-high 43 points, stepping up after leg injuries to Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo with the highest-scoring playoff performance by a reserve in 50 years, and the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Denver Nuggets 112-96 on Saturday night.The Timberwolves took a 3-1 lead in the series in a game that ended with ejections of Denvers Nikola Jokic and Minnesotas Julius Randle after Jokic became angry when Jaden McDaniels made a meaningless layup with 2.1 seconds remaining and confronted the Wolves swingman near his bench.The story before that was Dosunmu, who had the best performance by a sub since Fred Brown scored 45 off the bench for Seattle in a 116-111 loss to Phoenix on April 15, 1976.

    Dodgers Snap Cubs' 10-Game Winning Streak Behind Roki Sasaki's Outing
    Roki Sasaki earned his second major league victory and the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied with six runs in the fourth inning to beat the Cubs 12-4 on Saturday night, snapping Chicago's 10-game winning streak. Shohei Ohtani ended an 0-for-12 skid with a single in the first and then swiped second for just his second stolen base of the year. He had one of the Dodgers' 14 hits as Los Angeles set a season high for runs at home. Sasaki (1-2) gave up four runs three on solo homers by Seiya Suzuki, Moises Ballesteros and Miguel Amaya and seven hits with a career-high 99 pitches on his bobblehead night. The Japanese right-hander struck out five in his fifth career start, pitching into the sixth inning for the first time this year. He went 1-1 as a rookie last season before working as the closer during the Dodgers' run to their second straight World Series championship. The Dodgers scored 10 or more runs for the fourth time this season. After scoring six in the fourth inning, they tacked on four more in the sixth. Andy Pages had a two-run double off reliever Javier Assad and later scored on a wild pitch by Vince Velasquez, who was called up Friday. Max Muncy hit a tying two-run homer in the third for the Dodgers, who had lost five of seven. Their bullpen blew a four-run lead in a 6-4 loss in the series opener Friday that dropped them out of the NL West lead for the first time this season. The Cubs took their last lead, 3-2, on Ballesteros' two-strike homer off Sasaki in the fourth. The Dodgers went ahead for good by playing small ball in the bottom of the inning. Alex Freeland tied the game at 3 with an RBI double. Freddie Freeman's RBI single chased Cubs starter Colin Rea (3-1). Teoscar Hernandez had a two-run single and Dalton Rushing and Pages had RBI singles all with two outs to open an 8-3 lead. Trailing 8-4, the Cubs left the bases loaded in the sixth. Dodgers reliever Jack Dreyer struck out Dansby Swanson and Pete Crow-Armstrong before Will Klein came in and induced a groundout to the mound by Amaya that ended the threat. Cubs LHP Shota Imanaga (2-1, 2.17 ERA) starts Sunday's series finale against LHP Justin Wrobleski (3-0, 1.88). Reporting by The Associated Press.

    South Africa World Cup 2026 Preview: Best Players, Roster, History
    South Africa will play in the first match of the entire World Cup for the second time in its history and, interestingly enough, against the same opponent. In 2010, it welcomed Mexico to Johannesburg, but this time, Bafana Bafana will be visitors at the renovated Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. With a co-host and a tough South Korea team in the same group, it could be difficult to make a run this summer. How they Qualified: South Africa secured a place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup by finishing at the top of Group C in CAF qualifying, earning automatic qualification with 18 points, and over traditional powerhouse Nigeria. Its reward for reaching the 2026 tournament? The opener against co-hosts Mexico on June 11 in a reverse rematch of the 2010 tournament which was hosted by South Africa. World Cup Group Stage Schedule: Previous World Cup appearances: What is South Africa's Best Finish in the World Cup? Who is South Africa's player to watch? Lyle Fosterbrings a strong attacking presence to the Bafana Bafana. Hes fast and can be dangerous in the buildup, but his teammates need to find ways to get him the ball. The 25-year-old striker plays for Burnley in the Premier League, where he has scored three goals this season. Foster netted two goals and had two assists in the Africa Cup of Nations as South Africa made it to the round of 16. Who is South Africa's Manager for the World Cup? Hugo Broos took charge of South Africa after previously leading Cameroon to the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations title and managing clubs across Belgium, Algeria and Turkey. Broos guided South Africa through the 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign, securing the nations return to the tournament.
