2026 NFL draft: Todd McShay mocks nation's top tackle to New York Giants
The 2025 season doesn't start for a few more weeks, but we've already seen a fair share of "way too early" mock drafts. Now that we've seen a little bit of each NFL team through the first preseason games, draft analyst Toddy McShay released his "appropriately early" mock draft. He and Steve Muench co-host The McShay Show podcast and worked together to scout players that teams might actually draft, rather than shooting in the dark. Based on FanDuel's Super Bowl odds, the Giants are projected to have the third overall pick. With that pick, McShay and Muench predict that the Giants will select offensive tackle Spencer Fano out of Utah. "I think that offensive line's got a chance to be a lot better than people expect. Marcus Mbow they drafted (this year), by the way, Marcus Mbow is having a good camp. That's 'our guy' from Purdue, I think he gets a little stronger and there's something there," McShay said. McShay goes through the top five picks in his mock before getting Muench's opinion on his selections. Muench is very high on Fano. "Violent, athletic, it's not all clean," Muench said. "It's not all clean. But that gives you is the opportunity to see what happens when he gets caught in a bad spot. I remember watching when the Jets took Alijah Vera Tucker out of USC. I remember Joe Douglas, who was the GM of the Jets at the time, talking about 'what happens when Vera Tucker gets caught out of position, how does he recover?' And they were so impressed with his ability to recover. "Man, I see Fano, and when he's clean with his technique, it is beautiful, but when he does things that he's not supposed to, he still wins. And when you're looking at that kind of a talent, I would have no problem taking him in the Top 5.' The Giants' offensive line has struggled over the last few years, but it does seem to be coming together this year. However, aside from John Michael Schmitz, all of the starting offensive linemen have been in the league for a minimum of five years. There's not a ton of youth behind them, either, and Fano could easily slide into the rotation should the Giants actually draft him.

Insider Reveals Bad News for 49ers' Critical Defender
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The San Francisco 49ers definitely had a season to forget last year, going just 6-11 in spite of entering the campaign with what many felt was the best roster in the NFL. Of course, a major reason for the 49ers' slide was injuries on both sides of the ball, so perhaps San Francisco could bounce back and return to being a legitimate Super Bowl contender in 2025. More news: 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan Offers Major Christian McCaffrey Injury Update That being said, the Niners still have some holes that need to be rectified, and one of the biggest concerns is at the safety position. The 49ers lost Talanoa Hufanga to the Denver Broncos in free agency, leaving them without a true answer in the middle of their secondary. Ji'Ayir Brown and Malik Mustapha are currently penciled in as the two starters, but that could definitely change before Week 1. Matt Barrows of The Athletic has revealed some bad news for Brown on that end, noting that the 25-year-old's stock has dipped this summer, particularly given a nagging ankle injury that plagued him during minicamp.

The 49ers face the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday. More/Getty Images "This position has been yo-yoing since the spring, when [Marques] Sigle and Brown were injured and [Richie] Grant got all of the first-team snaps," Barrows wrote. "Lately, however, Sigle, a fifth-rounder out of Kansas State, has been healthy, and Brown (ankle) and Grant (knee) have been in and out of the lineup. ... The question is whether there's room at safety for three veterans — Brown, Grant and Jason Pinnock." Is it possible that Brown, who played in every game and made 13 starts in 2024, could actually be on the chopping block heading into 2025? The former third-round pick registered 77 tackles, an interception and six passes defended last season, posting a respectable 64.8 overall grade at Pro Football Focus. But it's not like Brown was a stalwart, and given how delicate things are in the Bay after such a rough campaign, head coach Kyle Shanahan may need to make a difficult decision here. More news: Green Bay Packers Key Player Could Request a Trade Brown appeared in 15 contests during his rookie year in 2023, finishing with 35 tackles, a couple of picks and four passes defended in a part-time role. He was impressive enough to earn more playing time last season, but he didn't exactly take full advantage of the opportunity. We'll see if the 49ers ultimately decide to make a surprising move at the safety position before the season opener, whether that means parting ways with Brown or simply benching him in favor of another option. San Francisco will open the season on the road against the Seattle Seahawks on Sept. 7. For more on the 49ers and NFL, head to Newsweek Sports.

Nebraska lands five-star safety and Omaha native Tory Pittman III for class of 2027
The Huskers landed their second commit and first five-star recruit for the class of 2027. Safety Tory Pittman III announced on social media that he is coming to Lincoln. Pittman is one of the top prospects in the nation for the 2027 class. The Omaha, Nebraska, native is ranked No. 1 in the state of Nebraska and among safeties across the country, according to the 247Sports Composite score. Pittman is entering his junior year at Omaha Central High School, but held a strong presence in the state even before entering high school, receiving an offer from the Huskers in eighth grade. In his freshman and sophomore years, he played both safety and wide receiver for the Eagles, totaling 88 tackles, five interceptions, and 29 catches for 528 yards and five touchdowns across 18 games. Pittman chose Nebraska over Colorado, Florida State, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, LSU, Miami (Fla.), Michigan, Missouri, Notre Dame, Oregon, Penn State, Sacramento State, Tennessee, USC, and Wisconsin. He joins four-star quarterback Trae Taylor in the class, who committed to Nebraska in May.
