Quarterback is the most important position in football. Hit on your franchise signal-caller, and you immediately put yourself in contention. Hit on that young, cheap quarterback like the Houston Texans did, and then you have the financial flexibility to construct a roster that launches your campaign for the Lombardi Trophy.

Five AFC quarterbacks under the most pressure in 2024 NFL season: Tua Tagovailoa, Will Levis make cut

USA TODAY Sports Media Group

New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito might just disagree with Mark Schlereth about where Aaron Rodgers stands in the all-time ranking of NFL quarterbacks. DeVito believes that the New York Jets quarterback is No. 1.
The comments from DeVito came after a very hot take from Schlereth last week about Rodgers.
A former NFL offensive lineman, Schlereth is now an analyst with Fox Sports. During a recent podcast, Schlereth said Rodgers is not among the best QBs of all time.
In fact, he said Rodgers would be “sitting at the kids table.”
At the ESPY Awards last week, reporter Joey Mistretta asked DeVito if...

The Pirates have selected Griffin with the ninth overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft. Griffin, the consensus top prep position player in this year's class, has four loud tools, while his hit tool is more of a question mark. A 6-foot-4, 215-pound righty hitter who plays a good shortstop and an even better center field, Griffin has 70-grade speed, a 70-grade arm and plus power that could tick up even more at his physical peak. He turned 18 in April, so he's on the younger side, and most sluggers who are as tall and as young as Griffin come with some hit tool risk. Projecting prep hit tools is one of the toughest tasks for amateur scouts, so there's not going to be much clarity on whether that's a clear weakness or a non-issue until the Mississippi high schooler gets to full-season ball. He has a very high ceiling as a 30/30 candidate whose defensive utility should keep him in the lineup every day.

IndyCar driver Sting Ray Robb was among several drivers injured in a crash toward the end of Sunday's Hy-Vee One Step 250 race in Iowa. The accident occurred on the final lap of the race, as Robb hit the back of Alexander Rossi, was launched into the air and flipped over across the track. Ed Carpenter's car went airborne and landed on top of Kyle Kirkwood. Robb was put onto a stretcher and gave a thumbs up as he was loaded into an ambulance.

The Tigers have selected Randall with the 85th overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft. A high school catcher, Randall converting to pitching at the University of Arizona before transferring to San Diego, where he emerged at the Friday night starter. The right-hander can pound the strike zone with a heavy sinker and above-average slider, and while his profile does suggest a future as a high-leverage reliever, Detroit will likely give him every chance to develop as a starter.

Houston, TX

The Astros have selected Forcucci with the 101st overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft. The 6-foot-3 right-hander was deployed as both a starter and reliever at UC-San Diego, and durability questions could have him ticketed for a relief role with the Astros. Forcucci does have a projectable frame though and could add some velocity to a fastball that already touches 97 mph with good movement, and he has the makings of a starter's arsenal with a slider, slow curve and changeup.

The Twins designated Boushley for assignment Sunday. Boushley will cede his spot on the 40-man roster to infielder Diego Castillo, whose contract was selected from Triple-A St. Paul ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants. Aside from making a two-inning relief appearance for the Twins on May 20, Boushley has spent the entire 2024 campaign at St. Paul, with whom he's produced a 4.68 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 73:14 K:BB in 84.2 innings. If he goes unclaimed via waivers, Boushley should remain a member of the St. Paul rotation moving forward.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Bryce Harper has an idea. He wants balls and strikes calls to be as accurate as possible. The Phillies superstar, doing press ahead of Tuesday's All-Star Game in Texas, acknowledged that a challenge system for balls and strikes -- which uses ABS and has reached Triple-A this season -- could work "if it's done the right way." But he has a different idea too.

Murphy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres. Murphy caught eight innings and went 0-for-4 in Atlanta's 4-0 loss Saturday evening, so he'll be getting some routine maintenance as the two teams close out their series with a day game. Travis d'Arnaud steps in behind the plate as Murphy's replacement in the starting nine Sunday.

Russell Wilson was an unmitigated disaster with the Broncos. Denver paid a steep price for Wilson -- several first-round draft picks -- and failed miserably with the Super Bowl champion at the helm. Even last season -- after hiring head coach Sean Payton -- Wilson left a lot to be desired on the field.

The Guardians selected Oakie with the 84th overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft. A prep right-hander out of Iowa, Oakie didn't face high-level competition even by the standard of high-school pitchers, but he impressed the Guardians enough with his makeup and his mid-80s slider -- which already grades out as a plus pitch -- to come off the board in the third round. In addition to the slider, Oakie mixes in a fastball that sits around 92-to-94 miles per hour, but his arsenal is shallow beyond those two offerings. Though he has a slender build at 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds, Oakie has a quick, low-effort delivery that could allow him to stay on a starter's development track during his professional career.

Dianna Russini of The Athletic is among the noteworthy NFL insiders who believe that before Pittsburgh Steelers veteran players report for training camp, head coach Mike Tomlin wants to start Russell Wilson at quarterback over Justin Fields this September."Let's just make it clear," Russini explained during the debut episode of the "Scoop City" podcast, as shared by Joe Clark of Steelers Depot. "Russell Wilson is the starter. It's going to be a competitive training camp. Justin Fields is there for a reason, but they want Russell Wilson, the veteran, the guy who knows how to do it, to be the...

The Nationals have selected Lomavita with the 39th overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft. Lomavita had an excellent showing with a wood bat in the Cape Cod League in back-to-back summers, hitting .316 as an underclassman in 2022 and slashing .329/.374/.494 with three home runs and a 17.3 percent strikeout rate last summer. He has always had an aggressive approach, and that was apparent this spring for Cal, as he had a 16.7 percent strikeout rate and a 4.7 percent walk rate while hitting .322 with 15 home runs in 55 games. Lomavita is a good athlete for a catcher and stole 12 bases on 16 tries as a junior. He is still working on his defense behind the plate and could handle third base or a corner-outfield spot if his defense never catches up to his offense. As things stand, he is more appealing in batting-average leagues than OBP leagues.
