What the Jets and Giants might do at the NFL Draft Brian Spurlock/USA Today: Iowa offensive linemen Tristan Wirfs If you haven't heard, the NFL Draft, which will take place from April 23-25, has not been immune from the impact of the coronavirus. The selections will go on, but all events surrounding the draft will be canceled, and the event itself will not be in Las Vegas as initially planned. [In a statement earlier this week]( the NFL said it's exploring... - "innovative options for how the process will be conducted and will provide that information as it becomes available." Translation: There will no longer be a boat to take draftees to an island stage, [as originally planned](. Shame. Anyhow, here's who the Jets and Giants are taking in recent mock drafts. [USA Today]( (March 19): - Giants: Isaiah Simmons, LB, Clemson - Jets: Tristan Wirfs, OT, Iowa [CBS Sports]( (March 17): - Giants, who trade down to No. 6: Mekhi Becton, OT, Louisville - Jets: Andrew Thomas, OT, Georgia [NFL.com]( (March 12): - Giants: Mekhi Becton, OT, Louisville - Jets: Jeff Okudah, CB, Ohio State [SNY]( (March 6): - Giants: Mekhi Becton, OT, Louisville - Jets: Andrew Thomas, OT, Georgia On SNY.tv: [Who's left for the Jets in free agency?]( | [How recent events could help the Giants land Chase Young]( --------------------------------------------------------------- DAILY TRIVIA Do the Yankees have over or under 20.5 100-win seasons? 2.

By the numbers Winslow Townson/USA Today 7 new cases Seven new cases of the coronavirus in the NBA were reported yesterday -- two Lakers players, three in the 76ers' organization ([the statement from the team]( did not clarify whether they were players or not), one in Denver and one in Boston, who Marcus Smart [identified as himself](. Week 1, 2018 Sam Darnold made his first start for the Jets during Week of 1 of the 2018 season, which means he is now the longest tenured starter in the AFC East. $30 million The Red Sox will pay Chris Sale $30 million this season to sit on the bench. The lefty will miss the season with Tommy John surgery, the team announced Thursday. Many, many pounds If you haven't seen Saquon Barkley squatting a lot of weight, [here's the video](. --------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Random highlights from the archives MLB/YouTube A new segment with a very self-explanatory headline. GIF'd above: Derek Jeter's legendary flip play, which happened during the seventh inning of Game 3 of the 2001 ALDS. The play, which nabbed a lumbering Jeremy Giambi at the plate to preserve a 1-0 lead, is one of the more iconic moments of Jeter's career. Was Giambi safe? Would this play have been less cool with the help of an instant replay review? Are all of our lives worse without sports? Maybe, yes, and yes. --------------------------------------------------------------- 5. The New York Minute - [Projecting]( the Mets' 2020 26-man roster. - The Mets' series against the Marlins that was to take place in Puerto Rico [will no longer happen](. - The Giants' new backup: Colt McCoy, [on a one-year]( $2.25 million deal. - SNY's Ian Begley [spoke to scouts and execs]( about RJ Barrett: "... I like RJ a lot. I think he can have a long, successful career in this league if he stays healthy." - The NBA [ordered teams]( to close down their facilities on Thursday. --------------------------------------------------------------- Trivia answer: Over. The Yankees have 21 100-win seasons. Their first was in 1927. Their last was in 2019. That's the buzzer, folks. Enjoy your weekend.
