It takes a special kind of degeneracy to do a seven round mock draft, but here we are. This is the final stretch to the 2025 NFL Draft and it’s time to celebrate everyone available — even a seventh round depth cornerback who will play a little special teams and be gone in three years. Just because this mock is BIG doesn’t mean it’s devoid of logic.

Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images The 2025 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs are poised to be legendary. Parity was the name of the game in the 2024-25 season with both the east and west boasting stellar teams up and down the standings. This is not a season where there’s a single, clear-cut favorite in each conference, but rather four or even five teams on each side of the bracket that you can believe has what it takes to go all the way.

Photo by Jason Miller/Getty Images intro by jamesCleveland Browns — ALLLLLLL of themThe Browns draft history is pathetic, almost all of it. There are only a few first-rounders since “The Return” in 1999 that got second contracts, including Joe Thomas, Joe Haden and Myles Garrett. Cleveland fans have had the NFL draft as their Super Bowl for years and, year after year, have been failed.

Photo by Luke Hales/Getty Images Aaron Rodgers did more Aaron Rodgers things on Thursday when he seemingly teased his retirement on The Pat McAfee Show talking about how he was in a “different place in his life,” and saying his focus was on his personal life — only to then back away from the ledge, saying he hasn’t decided whether he’s going to play or not.
Every NHL Playoffs team ranked by their Stanley Cup chances

Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images The Stanley Cup Playoffs are upon us, and the close to the 2024-25 season figures to be brimming with emotion. Is this Alex Ovechkin’s last chance to win a cup? Canada has roared back with six of its eight teams in the playoffs. Is Dallas a hockey town now? It’s a fascinating clash of styles, as the NHL has never had so many varieties of hockey philosophy and varying strategies as right now.
Aaron Rodgers will likely retire, because he’s afraid

1 week ago | sbnation.com | James Dator

Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images It’s been a while since we heard anything about Aaron Rodger’s future, and for good reason — because he’s waiting for a job that doesn’t exist.

Now we know why.
