Picks Analysis: The rich got a little richer as John Elway laced a pair of
doubles that could turn out to be much more despite his relatively poor draft
positioning. Denver has totally revamped its shaky secondary in the offseason,
first adding lockdown corner Aqib Talib and safety T.J. Ward in free agency
before drafting talented Ohio State corner Bradley Roby with the 31st overall
pick. Roby had top-20 talent but his stock took a hit because he was
inconsistent with the Buckeyes and had a high-profile off-the-field incident
days before the draft. Lengthy second-round wide receiver Cody Latimer shapes up
as the potential replacement for the departed Eric Decker, while third-round
offensive tackle Michael Schofield should provide immediate depth and could turn
into a starter down the line if he hits the weight room hard. Best Value Pick:
Latimer needs to sharpen his route-running skills but he has a chance to do some
special things with Peyton Manning throwing the ball to him. "You just need to
get in the hip pocket of Peyton Manning," NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock
said. "What a great situation for this young man. Hes a height/weight specimen.
He needs to learn how to run routes and separate from defenders." Questionable
Calls: Schofield is probably not athletic enough to play on the edge right now
and he lacks the functional football strength to kick inside. There were better
options on the board for Elway. Summary: The Broncos helped themselves at two
need positions (corner and wide receiver) and generally scored well on the value
meter throughout the process. FINAL GRADE: B Undrafted rookie free agent

Picks Analysis: Despite a desperate need for speed at the wide receiver position
Kansas City went edge pass rusher at No. 23 overall, taking Auburn defensive end
Dee Ford. On paper Ford projects as an outside linebacker in the 3-4 defense the
Chiefs play but Kansas City already has a pair of stars at the position --
Tamba Hali and Justin Houston. The Chiefs didnt have a second-round pick and
addressed depth at the cornerback position in the third by adding lengthy Rice
cornerback Phillip Gaines, who should fit in as an option behind starters
Sean Smith and Brandon Flowers, although Flowers is reportedly on the trading
block. Best Value Pick: Fourth-round running back DeAnthony Thomas shapes up as
a nice replacement for Dexter McCluster, who left for Tennessee in free agency.
The 5-foot-9 Thomas could be an explosive third-down back and an excellent
return specialist. Questionable Calls: At just 6-foot-2 and 252 pounds there is
no way Ford can play the five-technique in the 3-4 so hes going to be stuck
behind both Houston, who is signed through next season, and Hali, who is locked
up through 2015, for now. A speedy wide receiver would have been more helpful,
at least for 2014. Summary: Ford and Gaines probably wont help all that much
until a year or two down the line. The Chiefs seemed to do better in the middle
rounds where they got their replacement for McCluster in Thomas, and nabbed a
solid developmental quarterback prospect in Aaron Murray. FINAL GRADE: B-

Kentucky Top Pick Analysis: The Raiders are almost always wild cards when it
comes to the NFL Draft but the organization took a far more conventional
approach in 2014. Oakland didnt waver at No. 5 overall when Buffalo linebacker
Khalil Mack, universally regarded as one of the best four players in the draft,
fell to them. The Raiders certainly had bigger needs like quarterback but
general manager Reggie McKenzie wasnt spooked by that and stayed true to his
board. Oakland was rewarded for its astute work early in the draft when signal
caller Derek Carr fell to the second round and was still available at No. 36
overall. "A lot of teams thought he was the best pure thrower in draft," NFL
Network Draft analyst Mike Mayock said of Carr. In the third round the Raiders
were able to bolster the interior of their offensive line by selecting
Mississippi State guard Gabe Jackson, who has a very high football IQ and
projects as a starter early in his career. Best Value Pick: Keith McGill, a
fourth-round pick out of Utah, is a Brandon Browner-sized cornerback who could
excel in press-man coverage, Questionable Calls: There really wasnt much to
quibble about in this draft but if you have to take issue with something, look
to the seventh round where defensive end Shelby Harris probably wasnt a
draftable commodity. Summary: McKenzie seems to be making the most of his third
and possibly final chance to turn things around in Oakland. Mack was in the
conversation to be the No. 1 overall pick while Carr is a solid developmental
prospect at QB and Jackson should be a rather useful addition. DRAFT GRADE: A

Dame; 5 (165) - Ryan Carrethers, NT, Arkansas State; 6 (201) - Marion Grice, RB,
Arizona State; 7 (240) - Tevin Reese, WR, Baylor Top Picks Analysis: The
Chargers went into this draft hoping to improve on their 29th-ranked and AFC-
worst pass defense. TCU cornerback Jason Verrett is undersized at 5-foot-9 but
shapes up as a Captain Munnerlyn-type, a player who battles enough to compete on
the outside during early downs before moving into the slot and becoming a
difference maker on obvious passing downs. San Diego moved up in the second
round to take Georgia Tech outside linebacker Jeremiah Attaochu, a high-motored
edge player with significant pass rushing upside. In the third round the
Chargers took heady Notre Dame offensive guard Chris Watt, a very experienced
college player who is a great technician and should develop into a solid
starter. Best Value Pick: San Diego needed a true nose tackle and was able to
get one in the fourth round by taking Arkansas States Ryan Carrethers, a
340-pound, NFL-Strong two-down player. Questionable Calls: The Chargers made
four really sound picks before reaching a bit in the later rounds. Seventh-round
wide receiver Tevin Reese for instance is not really a legitimate NFL prospect.
Summary: Chargers general manager Tom Telesco didnt have a ton of picks to work
with but he generally made sound, prudent decisions when it was his turn. FINAL

Jersey . The seventh-ranked Berdych wants to focus on the ATP Tour
after helping the Czechs beat the Netherlands in the first round. Seeking their
third straight Davis Cup title, the Czechs will rely again on veteran Radek
Stepanek.TORONTO – The first-place Blue Jays hit the halfway mark of the season
with 45 wins and a two-game lead on Baltimore in the American League East,
territory unfamiliar to a franchise still waiting for its first playoff game
since October 23, 1993, the night Joe Carter walked off Mitch Williams into
World Series lore. "Im proud of the way the guys played," said manager John
Gibbons. "It was kind of a so-so start and we kicked it in there in the month of
May and put ourselves in a good position. Now, you know, we just need to do that
again in the second half or even improve on that but Im very, very happy with
the effort and the way the guys have been playing baseball. Its that simple."
You wont find a Mission Accomplished banner hanging in the clubhouse. The
expectation is much greater. "Has it met it yet? No," said Casey Janssen. "Our
expectation is to make the playoffs and win the World Series and were not there
yet. Weve got a long way to go. I think everyone believed we could be this type
of team but were not throwing a party yet, we know that. We know theres a ton of
talent here and its the AL East so anything can happen." Despite a recent
downturn in offensive production, through 81 games Toronto continues to sit in
the top seven of most major categories. The club sits first in the majors with
104 home runs. Its fourth with a .262 batting average and .331 on-base
percentage. The on-base plus slugging percentage of .767 ranks third and its 272
walks are seventh. The most pleasant surprise and biggest disappointment reside
on the same spot: the pitchers mound. The pleasant surprise: Blue Jays starters
lead the American League with 35 wins (a number not reached until the 135th game
last season) and the staff ERA of 3.87 is best in the AL East. The biggest
disappointment: the bullpen, the ray of sunshine in a stormy 2013 season, has
compiled baseballs fourth-worst ERA (4.48). Its a target for improvement. "I
think there are some times when weve got to be better in the bullpen," said
Gibbons. "Weve got to shore that up a little bit. Its like anything, consistency
over the whole pitching staff and hopefully you stay healthy enough." The Blue
Jays have been fortunate to remain relatively healthy, dealing with injuries
theyve been able to cover. Maicer Izturis was a backup infielder. Brandon Morrow
wasnt pitching well when he got hurt. Colby Rasmus missed 33 games with a
hamstring strain and the Jays got by with an Anthony Gose-Kevin Pillar platoon
in centerfield. The medical staff is now doing the dance with Jose Bautista as
he deals with a hamstring probleem, which could be made worse if rushed.
Dave Concepcion Reds Jersey. Bautista will
run sprints on Saturday morning and depending on how he feels, could be
available to at least pinch hit on the weekend. QUIET TIME FOR JANSSEN Wondering
where closer Casey Janssen has been these days? Hes around. He just hasnt
pitched much due to a lack of save opportunities. Since notching his 12th save
of the season on June 15 in Baltimore, Janssen has appeared twice. He mopped up
the epic, 14-9 comeback win on June 20 in Cincinnati. He threw the ninth inning
of a 6-6 game against the Yankees on June 24 and got the win when the Blue Jays
walked off. It can be difficult for relievers when they go through a period
without consistent work. "I feel like saves come in bunches at times," said
Janssen. "You get opportunities to pitch maybe in a lopsided game one way or
another if it gets to be too long. Sometimes there are times when you dont get
in but you get up. Im one of those guys that always has relied on my command and
I guess it comes a little more natural to me than others." Janssen has 12 saves
in 14 opportunities this season. "Sometimes the rest is good, knowing that the
tough stretch is going to come at some point," said Janssen. Expect Janssen to
get into a game before the weekend is over, regardless of whether Toronto has a
lead of three or less. Janssen speaks to pitching coach Pete Walker about his
schedule, who relays the message to manager John Gibbons. If Janssen goes four
or five days without action his arms reaction to its diminished workload becomes
less predictable. "You wonder if your arms going to be a little cranky or if its
going to be super fresh," said Janssen. "Sometimes you feel great when you get
the rest and sometimes youre kind of knocking the dust off a little bit."
Remember that Janssen had an abbreviated spring training thanks to stiffness in
the back of his pitching shoulder. He didnt appear in a Grapefruit League game
until the final week of March. Then, in Montreal, he strained his left oblique
and didnt make his season debut until May 12. Its been a build for Janssen, who
anticipates being able to pitch on three consecutive days, if needed, as the
importance of each game ramps up. "I feel like Id love to do it and Id love to
have the opportunity to do it," said Janssen. "I think a lot of those three in a
rows depend on how the first two went and the stress level of those innings. My
goal is to be able to pitch in every opportunity possible, especially as the
season gets further along and as this division and the race gets tight and
everything like that."
