For what seems like the second year in a row, the Cleveland Browns took home a massive haul of talent in the NFL Draft. This year, the Browns left with Utah offensive tackle Spencer Fano and Texas A&M wide receiver KC Concepcion in the first round. They then doubled up in the second round as well with Washington wide receiver Denzel Washington and Toledo safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren. They then traded up again and selected Florida offensive tackle Austin Barber with the 98th overall pick in the draft.On Day 3, the Browns then added Alabama center Parker Brailsford, Alabama linebacker Justin Jefferson, Cincinnati tight end Joe Royer, Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green, and BYU tight end Carsen Ryan.Now, analysts across every network are putting out draft grades. One of those sites is Daft on Draft. This site, a site dedicated to year-round NFL draft coverage, scouting reports, video content, and more, gave the Browns an A- for their efforts this past weekend.The reason behind the Browns' NFL Draft gradeHere is what Daft on Draft had to say on the Browns' haul:"Its hard to argue what the Browns did in the NFL Draft. They needed to upgrade the left tackle spot and overhaul their wide receiver room badly, and they accomplished both of those goals in the first 40 picks of the draft. Trading up and landing a consensus top-25 player with the 58th overall pick is icing on the cake."They went on to say that the trade-up and selection of Austin Barber was the worst pick that the Browns made, and the trade-up and selection of Emmanuel McNeil-Warren was the best selection that the team made on draft night. Overall, high marks for the Browns; they landed Daft on Draft's top tier, and tied for the fourth-highest graded draft.This article originally appeared on Browns Wire: Browns receive stellar NFL Draft grade from analyst after adding haul

Elijah Arena declared for the NBA Draft, but promptly withdrew his name and will return to USC

Following its first No. 1 overall recruiting class in two decades, USC is keeping its foot on the gas in 2027. The Trojans nearly led wire-to-wire in the 2026 cycle and ultimately signed seven prospects who ranked among the top 60 recruits nationally. With that in the rearview, theyve turned up the heat on their top 2027 prospects and again have one of the countrys premier recruiting classes as we close out the month of April. That class has gotten even better this month with three new commitments. The Trojans landed dynamic, do-it-all running back Javon Vital Jr. at the beginning of the month, followed by in-state tight end Jace Cannon, and Rivals five-star edge rusher Mekai Brown.The trio of commitments pushed USC into the No. 4 overall spot in the Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings. It also continued the massive wave of momentum in L.A. recently.That second visit really changed things for me, Brown told Rivals Chad Simmons. I got to see more of USC and more of L.A., and it just felt different. After that visit, USC moved to the top of my list. I kept taking visits, but I didnt get that feeling.Brown chose USC over a strong group that includedNotre Dame,Texas A&M,Ole MissandOhio State, with the latter three joining the Trojans in his final group. His addition is major one as Lincoln Riley and Co. look to build even more along with offensive and defensive lines. As a junior, he finished with double-digit sacks and 68 tackles in just nine games. The Trojans also have three top-100 players committed in the secondary, as well as two of the countrys premier receivers. Now with 11 commitments in total, they still have plenty of room to add pieces to what should be another stellar class.

It was just an ordinary day last December for Mark Toothaker. He worked at Spendthrift Farm, went to the gym and settled in at home in Lexington, Kentucky, to watch the New York Giants play the New England Patriots on "Monday Night Football." He never expected what came next. Watching from bed alongside his wife, Malory, who was reading a book, Giants kicker Younghoe Koo whiffed on a field goal attempt in a real-life scene reminiscent of Charlie Brown and Lucy in the "Peanuts" cartoon. Rewinding and watching the replay, Toothaker laughed so hard it caused a seizure. "Ive never felt anything like this in my life," Toothaker recalled. "I felt like I got electrocuted." Malory happens to be a nurse at a rehabilitation hospital working for a brain-injury doctor. After initially thinking her husband was joking, she called 911 and paramedics arrived to get him to a hospital. A CT scan revealed a tennis-ball-sized tumor on the left side of his brain. "When you hear the news, Youve got a brain tumor,' thats what nobody wants to hear," Malory said. Toothaker was transferred to the University of Kentucky's hospital, where the tumor was surgically removed and turned out to be benign. He was home by the end of the week with no lasting damage. On Saturday, he will be at the Churchill Downs as Spendthrift Farm-owned Further Ado is set to run in the Kentucky Derby. Toothaker is thankful for that missed kick. "(The) kicker saved my life because it couldve happened any other time," Toothaker told The Associated Press in a phone interview. "I wholeheartedly believe I was in the right spot at the right time, and he was the trigger for that happening. It was a miracle." Toothaker, 59, had no symptoms and no idea the tumor had moved his brain 6 millimeters to the right. In the months before his seizure, he had driven and flown all over the country as part of his job as stallion season manager, including the previous Saturday to Louisville to see Further Ado win the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes. "I could have had it on a plane, anywhere," Toothaker said. "I didnt kill anybody. I didnt run over a family in my Expedition running up and down the road. I guess that wouldve been the hardest thing for me to live with if somebody wouldve got hurt out of this. "Believe me, as tough as that thing was, as violent as that seizure was, I have no memory of it and I would find it hard to believe that I wouldnt have hurt somebody or hurt myself if I wouldve been behind a wheel." Toothaker made it a point to watch because he has been friends with then-Giants receiver Wan'Dale Robinson's dad, Dale, for a long time. Robinson went on to become the first player 5-foot-8 or shorter to surpass 1,000 yards receiving since 1989 and got a lucrative contract from the Tennessee Titans. Toothaker said he would love for the 31-year-old Koo once the most accurate kicker in league history to be his guest at the Derby, recognizing that the miss is not exactly a career highlight. Koo, who was released two weeks after the game, did not respond to messages from AP for this story. "I know it wasnt his best moment, but it was beyond crazy," Toothaker said. "For she and I to be belly-laughing at his expense, which I feel terrible about now, but it all worked out in the end, that for me it couldnt have been a better moment." Malory Toothaker said things are very normal for her husband now. "So many people arent that fortunate," she said. "Really the first indication that he had a problem was the seizure and to be in your own bed at home, not behind the wheel of a car or traveling. Youre just so humbled and feel so blessed and just fortunate that if this had to happen, it was the best-case scenario." The Associated Press contributed to this report.
