Welcome to the 20th annual SB Nation NFL community mock draft! Each draft season, the mock GMs at our NFL team communities come together for a very fun mock. This year’s includes a Dexter Lawrence trade and the related shifts to the draft order, and some other surprises — plus a no-brainer, unsurprising selection from Silver & Black Pride for the Raiders at No. 1. Guess who it is?

गारबेटा में ‘योगी-योगी’ के नारे: हजारों की भीड़, ममता सरकार पर CM योगी का तीखा हमला<p> <p style="float: left;width:100%;text-align:center"> <p style="position:relative;color: #fff"> <img align="center" alt="" class="imgCont" height="675" src="https://nonprod-media.webdunia.com/public_html/_media/hi/img/article/2026-04/20/full/1776698729-7395.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #DDD;margin-right: 0px;float: none;z-index: 0" title="" width="1200" /></p> </p> पश्चिम बंगाल चुनाव में उत्तर प्रदेश के मुख्यमंत्री योगी आदित्यनाथ का जबर्दस्त क्रेज दिख रहा है। एक ओर चिलचिलाती धूप में योगी आदित्यनाथ भाजपा प्रत्याशियों के लिए खूब पसीना बहा रहे हैं तो वहीं दूसरी ओर उन्हें देखने-सुनने और एक झलक पाने को हजारों की भीड़ उमड़ रही है।<br /> <br /> सोमवार को गारबेटा विधानसभा क्षेत्र से भाजपा उम्मीदवार प्रदीप लोढ़ा के पक्ष में हुई चुनावी रैली में भी यही नजारा दिखा, जब दीवारों, वाहनों और घरों की छतों पर खड़े होकर लोगों ने योगी आदित्यनाथ का भाषण सुना और योगी-योगी की गूंज से उनका बंगाल की धरा पर स्वागत किया। योगी आदित्यनाथ ने भी नौजवानों, किसानों, महिलाओं से आह्वान किया कि जिस बंगाल को कांग्रेस, कम्युनिस्टों और तृणमूल कांग्रेस ने कंगाल किया है, उसे इन पार्टियों की अराजकता से मुक्त कराइए। </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>तृणमूल की अराजकता से मुक्त अब डबल इंजन सरकार लाने जा रहा पश्चिम बंगाल </strong></p> <p> सीएम ने बंगाल के राष्ट्रनायकों की धरा बताया, कहा कि जब तुष्टिकरण की पराकाष्ठा और टीएमसी सरकार की गुंडागर्दी चरम पर हो तो नेताजी सुभाष चंद्र बोस याद आते हैं। यहां के नौजवानों के सामने पहचान का संकट आया है। कभी लीडर की भूमिका में रहा बंगाल लूजर की भूमिका में हो गया है। भारत की आर्थिक उन्नति का आधार रहा बंगाल तृणमूल कांग्रेस, कांग्रेस व कम्युनिस्टों के लूटतंत्र का शिकार होकर कंगाल हो गया है। तृणमूल की अराजकता से मुक्त होकर बंगाल भी अब डबल इंजन सरकार का स्वाद चखने जा रहा है। </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>यूपी में हैं ऐसी सड़कें कि हाथ पर रखे कप से पानी भी नहीं छलकेगा</strong></p> <p> सीएम योगी ने आरोप लगाया कि जयश्रीराम बोलने पर ममता दीदी को परेशानी होती है। सड़कों पर इफ्तार पार्टी कराने वाली ममता दीदी ने राम नाम, दुर्गा पूजा, मूर्ति विसर्जन, शोभायात्रा पर बैन लगा दिया है। 2017 के पहले उत्तर प्रदेश में भी अराजकता, गुंडागर्दी, सड़कों पर नमाज और इफ्तार पार्टी होती थी, लेकिन यूपी में 9 साल से डबल इंजन सरकार चल रही है, तबसे नो कर्फ्यू, नो दंगा है, यूपी में सब चंगा है। वहां किसी के हक पर कोई डकैती नहीं डाल सकता। यूपी में ऐसी सड़कें हैं कि हाथ पर रखे कप से पानी नहीं छलकेगा। यूपी हाईवे स्टेट, एक्सप्रेसवे स्टेट, सर्वाधिक एयरपोर्ट वाला स्टेट, सर्वाधिक रोजगार देने वाला राज्य यूपी बन गया। जहां पहले उपद्रव होता है, वहां अब उत्सव हो रहा है। </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>बंगाल में राम का नाम लेने से चिढ़ती हैं ममता दीदी और यूपी में बन गया भव्य राम मंदिर</strong></p> <p> सीएम योगी ने कहा कि अब यूपी में सड़कों पर इफ्तारी और नमाज नहीं होती है। मस्जिद से अजान भी नहीं सुनाई देती। यूपी में हर तरफ खुशहाली है। ममता दीदी बंगाल में राम का नाम लेने पर चिढ़ती हैं, लेकिन उत्तर प्रदेश के अयोध्या में आसमान को छूता भव्य राम मंदिर का निर्माण हो गया। हर भारतीय को सीना तानकर खड़े होने और मर्यादा की प्रेरणा देने वाला राम मंदिर बताता है कि आस्था झुकती, रुकती, टूटती नहीं है। बस चुनौती का सामना करने की इच्छाशक्ति हो। वहां विधर्मियों के हौसले पस्त हुए।</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>यूपी में माफिया की हड्डी-पसली को चकनाचूर कर देता है बुलडोजर</strong></p> <p> सीएम ने कहा कि यूपी में गोहत्या, लवजेहाद, लैंडजेहाद नहीं हो सकता। माफिया व गुंडों ने हिमाकत की तो बुलडोजर उसकी हड्डी-पसली को चकनाचूर कर देता है। टीएमसी का मतलब टेरर, माफियाराज व करप्शन है। इसे केवल भाजपा सरकार ही समाप्त कर सकती है। न गोहत्या होने देंगे और न ही हिंदू को बंटने देंगे। उन्नति के लिए बंगाल को भी डबल इंजन सरकार के नेतृत्व में कार्य करना है। Edited by : Sudhir Sharma</p>

Distinct philosophies will be at work when Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) hosts Delhi Capitals (DC) in an IPL-19 fixture at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here on Tuesday. If Sunrisers’ modus operandi with the willow gravitates towards belligerence from the very outset, DC’s approach tends to be more measured and in sync with the situation.

These divergent methods have yielded similar results this season. With three wins and as many losses, Sunrisers have collected six points from six matches. Capitals also have six points, with their five matches comprising three wins and two defeats. Spirits should be high in both camps after their most recent outings ended in triumph.

READ | Inside Mumbai Indians’ early-season collapse in IPL 2026: What’s going wrong?

From DC’s perspective, it was essential to ensure that a run of two straight defeats was nipped in the bud. It managed to do so by sneaking past Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the Garden City on Saturday. Truth be told, Axar Patel’s men nearly bungled a chase of 176, but the fact that David Miller got them over the line in the final over must have been a source of relief. The South African had been on the bitter end of a taut chase against Gujarat Titans not long ago.

Just as comforting for Capitals is the news that Axar is fit after retiring hurt on 26 against RCB due to cramps. “He is fine and ready,” DC head coach Hemang Badani said on Monday. 

For the host, the batting is firing on all cylinders again. That Abhishek Sharma is back to his marauding best is a good sign, and with Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen also producing innings of substance, the top-order is in fine shape. On the bowling front, SRH has veered towards youthful zest by reposing faith in the pace pair of Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain and left-arm wrist-spinner Shivang Kumar.

Will SRH’s unbridled aggression hold sway? Or will Capitals’ relative pragmatism prevail?
