Record: The previous record for an American sports franchise was set last August when Rob Walton bought the Broncos for $4.65 billion. Massive Profit: Snyder purchased the team in May 1999 for $800 million. Harris Profile: Harris, who has a net worth of $5.8 billion, owns the Philadelphia 76ers (NBA) and the New Jersey Devils (NHL). - He co-founded Apollo Management, one of the largest asset management firms in the world. Ownership Group: NBA legend Magic Johnson and billionaire Mitchell Rales are part of the ownership group. Image: Rich Graessle/Icon Sportswire Young [Bryce Young] Bryce Young scored a 98 on the S2 Cognition Test Details: Young scored [higher]( than Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, and Josh Allen — who all scored in the 90s coming out of college. - The S2 assessment measures how quickly athletes "process and make split-second decisions in their sport." - The test is administered on a laptop with a two-millisecond response time. Wow: Lance Zierlein (NFL.com) claims that in the last seven years, not a single quarterback who [scored low]( on the assessment has gone on to NFL success. - Brock Purdy had the [best]( S2 score of last year’s quarterback class. Impact: Panthers’ owner David Tepper is said to be a big believer in the test, which could help explain why Young is favored to go first overall. Other QBs: There are rumors that CJ Stroud may have hurt his draft stock with a low score. Other prospects like Anthony Richardson and Will Levis reportedly [tested]( well. Image: Zach Bolinger/Icon Sportswire Dalvin [Dalvin Cook] Vikings GM does not commit to Dalvin Cook Details: When asked if Cook will be on the roster this upcoming season, Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said, “Conversations are always ongoing with him. We're trying to be solutions-oriented and always try to put the roster together within our constraints." - ESPN’s Kevin Seifert tweeted that it’s reasonable to assume the Vikings plan to “[move on](” from Cook. Cap Space: A post-June 1 release or trade would save the Vikings $11 million in cap space, while spreading out dead cap charges across 2023 and 2024. - A pre-June 1 release or trade would save the team $7.9 million. RB Depth: Seifert thinks the Vikings are ready to make Alexander Mattison the featured back. Image: Nick Wosika/Icon Sportswire JSN [Jaxon Smith-Njigba] Most teams see Jaxon Smith-Njibga as draft’s best WR Details: Multiple reports indicate that Smith-Njiba is the consensus top receiver among NFL teams. - For some, Smith-Njigba is the [only]( receiver in the class with a first-round grade. Record Holder: Smith-Njigba broke the Ohio State single-season record for receptions (95) and receiving yards (1,606) in 2021. - He missed most of last season with a hamstring injury. Brugler: Draft expert Dane Brugler [ranks]( Smith-Njigba as the draft’s best receiver and the No. 18 overall prospect. He writes, “Overall, Smith-Njigba isn’t an elite size/speed athlete and won’t be an ideal fit for every role, but he is a crafty route runner with smooth short-area quickness and tracking talent to be a surehanded target. He projects as an early NFL starter who is at his best in the slot.” Visits: The 6-foot–1, 196-pounder has visits scheduled with the Ravens, Texans, Bills, Bears, Panthers, Cardinals, Falcons, and Cowboys. Image: Brian Rothmuller/Icon Sportswire Steelers [Joey Porter Jr.] Steelers heavily linked to Penn State CB Joey Porter Jr. Details: The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo thinks it will be [tough]( for the Steelers to pass on Porter, should he fall to them at pick No. 17. - Most mock drafts have Pittsburgh taking the former Nittany Lion, who the team has already hosted on a Top 30 visit. Profile: Porter (6-2, 193) [allowed]( 15 catches on 30 targets (50%) for 143 yards and 0 touchdowns last season. - His father, Joey Porter, played for the Steelers from 1999 to 2006. Steelers' Fit: Porter would add to a corner depth chart that currently features Patrick Peterson (80.7 PFF grade), Levi Wallace (62.8 PFF grade), Arthur Maulet (56.9 PFF grade), and Ahkello Witherspoon (45.4 PFF grade). Image: Zach Bolinger/Icon Sportswire Tyree [Tyree Wilson] Some teams have Tyree Wilson ranked ahead of Will Anderson Jr. Details: The insight comes from NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein, who adds that a number of teams think Wilson has a [higher ceiling]( than Anderson. Wilson Profile: Wilson (6-6, 271) totaled 61 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, and 7 sacks across ten games last season. Analysts think he has elite size, speed, and power. Anderson Profile: Anderson (6-3, 253) totaled 62 tackles, 17 tackles for loss, and 10 sacks across 13 games last season. While his skills are not in question, his body type is not prototypical for the edge position. Interesting: In his latest mock draft, Zierlein has the Texans passing on CJ Stroud and Anderson to [take]( Wilson with the No. 2 pick.
