The time for NFL mock drafts has finally come to an end. Now the picks are for real.
The 2026 NFL Draft begins now, and soon enough the talking will end and the picks will start coming in. You can find out what time your team will pick here. We have every expectation that quarterback Fernando Mendoza will be the first player selected, and there is a lot to like about his game. Mendoza sat down with SB Nationearlier this week to talk about his journey to this moment, and what he will bring to an NFL roster.
After that, however, is anyone’s guess.
Will the New York Jets draft David Bailey at No. 2? When will Caleb Downs come off the board? Is Ty Simpson truly QB2 or will LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier make a surprising rise up the board following the discovery of a cyst on his spine, that likely contributed to his struggles last season? And what about some sleepers in the draft?

A combined 47 points from Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell helped the Indiana Fever outlast the host Los Angeles Sparks 87-78 on Wednesday night.
Mitchell scored 11 of her 23 points in the second quarter, when the Fever pulled away. Clark notched nine of her 24 points in the fourth quarter, holding off a late Sparks rally to claim the win. Each player connected on 9-for-17 shooting from the field, with Clark tallying nine assists.
Los Angeles was led by Kelsey Plum’s game-high 25 points on 9-for-16 shooting. Dearica Hamby added 16 points on 6-for-8 shooting while grabbing eight rebounds. Reserve Cameron Brink added 11 points and five rebounds, while Rae Burrell and Nneka Ogwumike each scored 10 points.
The Sparks pulled within 29-26 on a Hamby layup with 6:54 remaining in the second quarter. But the Fever scored the next nine points as part of a 19-8 run to finish the half. Mitchell did not miss a shot in the quarter, draining all three of her 3-point tries as well as a step-back jumper. Sophie Cunningham added five points and Clark tallied four more in the critical run.
After leading 48-34 at halftime, the Fever stretched the lead to 60-39 on a Myisha Hines-Allen layup midway through the third period.
The Sparks did not challenge until a late 11-3 run pulled them within 83-76 on a short jumper in the lane from Plum with 1:23 remaining.
Cunningham added 12 points and grabbed seven rebounds. All-Star Aliyah Boston finished with just four points and seven rebounds before fouling out in the fourth quarter.
Los Angeles starting guard Ariel Atkins departed the game in the third quarter after suffering a head injury. She finished with two points in 16 minutes.
The teams had each lost their season openers over the weekend, with the Fever falling by three points to the visiting Dallas Wings, while the Sparks dropped a 27-point decision at home to the defending champion Las Vegas Aces.
#Jordan #Spieth #incredible #week">Jordan Spieth could do something incredible this week
You know it. I know it. We all know it.
Jordan Spieth is chasing the career grand slam yet again this week at the PGA Championship and given that we so recently got to see somebody climb that mountain last year with Rory McIlroy at the Masters (where he doubled down this year)… we want more.
This year marks Spieth’s 10th run at the Career Grand Slam and the passage of time has seemingly made him have a level of peace about the quest.
At the moment Jordan isn’t exactly believed to be seriously in the mix. Consider that FanDuel Sportsbook has him at +5500 to win at Aronimink with players like Min Woo Lee and Chris Gotterup ahead of him. Even Jordan’s buddy Rickie Fowler is listed in front him after last week’s showing at the Truist.
Isn’t the fact that this is a longshot something that makes us want it all the more, though? How many people seriously went into Augusta last year thinking that Rory was about to do it? He may not have been this far down the odds listing, but he was hardly considered a lock.
We could literally be on the precipice of golf history right now. Think about that.
#Frederic #Soyez #replaces #Sreejesh #coach #Indian #junior #mens #hockey #team">Frederic Soyez replaces PR Sreejesh as coach of Indian junior men’s hockey team
India, on Thursday, officially appointed decorated Frenchman Frederic Soyez as the chief coach of the national junior men’s hockey team, replacing two-time Olympic medallist PR Sreejesh.
Sreejesh, a former star goalkeeper, was removed from his role just after 17 months, following the expiry of his contract, after guiding India to a bronze medal finish at last year’s FIH Junior World Cup in Chennai and Madurai.
In a strongly-worded social media post, Sreejesh vented out his frustration, saying his tenure was brought to an end despite winning five medals in as many tournaments during his stint, but Hockey India argued that the decision was taken considering the long-term vision of building a sustainable high-performance ecosystem aligned with India’s ambitions for hosting the 2036 Olympic Games.
One of the most accomplished coaches in European hockey, Soyez brings over three decades of elite coaching experience, including 15 years as an international player for France and over 15 years as a head coach at the highest level.
Soyez, who enjoyed an illustrious playing career with France from 1995 to 2010, earning 196 international caps and scoring an impressive 195 goals for the team, coached the national men’s hockey teams of both France and Spain.
He has coaching experience at three Olympic Games, having guided Spain at the Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 Olympics before leading France at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
During his tenure with Spain, he guided the team to a silver medal at the 2019 European Championships, while also steering it to quarterfinal finishes at the Rio and Tokyo Olympics.
A proven developer of young talent, Soyez coached France to a historic silver medal at the FIH Junior Men’s World Cup in Delhi in 2013 and most recently guided the French U-18 men’s team to a silver medal at the 2025 European Championships.
He additionally served as the High-Performance Director of the French Hockey Federation from 2021 to 2024, overseeing the country’s broader high-performance and athlete development structure.
His coaching resume also includes participation in two FIH Men’s Hockey World Cups (2018, 2023) and six European Championships (2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2023), underlining his extensive experience at the elite international level.
At the domestic level, Soyez guided Lille MHC to French Indoor and Outdoor Championship titles in 2012, along with EuroHockey Trophy Indoor and Outdoor titles in the same year.
Widely regarded for his expertise in high-performance systems, athlete development, and penalty corner strategy, Soyez has consistently built teams with strong tactical structure and competitive consistency across all levels.
Hockey India’s long-term strategy also places significant emphasis on developing Indian coaches alongside international experts.
To ensure knowledge transfer and continuity, Indian coaches have been integrated across the senior, junior, and sub-junior national camps, with designated Indian coaches working closely alongside the respective head coaches at every level.
Welcoming Soyez to Indian hockey, Hockey India president Dilip Tirkey said, “We warmly welcome Frederic Soyez to the Hockey India family. Frederic comes with outstanding international credentials, having coached at multiple Olympic Games, World Cups, and European Championships, while also successfully developing young talent and high-performance systems.
“We believe his experience and skill set will greatly benefit Indian hockey as we continue to work towards a bigger long-term vision for the 2036 Olympics. Our focus is not only on immediate results but also on building a deep talent pool and a coaching structure that remains aligned from sub-junior to senior level. By integrating Indian coaches, alongside international experts in every national camp across all levels, we are ensuring continuity in coaching philosophy, player development, and tactical understanding.
“This collaborative approach will also play a vital role in strengthening the capabilities of Indian coaches and creating a more self-sustaining high-performance ecosystem for the future,” he added.
