City of Kyle launches lockbox program to help elderly and disabled neighbors during emergencies
KYLE, Texas (KXAN) — There's now more help for older or disabled people in Kyle, and it could save lives. The city of Kyle's Emergency Management division, announced Monday it launched a Knox-Box system that will allow responders to get into a home fast when there's an emergency. 'Once registered in the program, residents will be provided with a secure lockbox that stores a spare key to their home. In the event of a life-threatening emergency, 911 operators will immediately alert first responders if the resident is enrolled in the program and will provide the location of the lockbox,' The city said. 'This will allow swift and safe access to the home.' It's something neighbors and city council members advocated for. And it's now fully funded by the city at no cost to those who want to be a part of the program. Those who qualify, and want to apply must be: Neighbors 65 or older Neighbors under the age of 65, with a major medical issue that could lead them to be incapacitated or unconcious Neighbors who live alone or are left alone on a regular basis 'Just knowing that there's an availability to efficiently get into a residence, not only gives the people that utilize the system peace of mind, but certainly family members that care for the elderly, or have elderly family members [peace of mind as well,]' Jimmy Johnson, City of Kyle Emergency Management Coordinator said. 'This program will allow us to pre-describe locations.' Staff is already doing outreach at places like the Kyle Senior Zone, to connect with interested neighbors, according to the City of Kyle. La La Herrera was at the center on Monday, and said she'd like to sign up for the program due to a bad fall that left her with a broken femur. 'She [my daughter] found me on the floor,' Herrera said opening up about her fall. 'I was in a fetal position.'Herrera, married for 52 years, is now a widow who lives alone. She wants to maintain her independence and likes the idea of the Knox-Box program allowing her to do that. 'I would feel more confident and more secure,' she said. The program is voluntary, and there's no limit on applications as of the day the program launched. The lockbox will only be used during an emergency call, according to the City of Kyle. Any participants of the program can withdraw at an time, Johnson told KXAN. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

What might it cost Jaguars to trade from pick No. 5 to No. 2 with Browns?
What might it cost Jaguars to trade from pick No. 5 to No. 2 with Browns? What might it cost for the Jacksonville Jaguars to trade up from pick No. 5 to pick No. 2? Ian Rapoport has now twice suggested that the Jacksonville Jaguars could be a team that at least tries to trade up with the Cleveland Browns for the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. Presumably, the Jaguars would make this move to land Travis Hunter. "Right now, it's the Browns, and I would say likely probably the Browns," Rapoport said on the Rich Eisen Show. "But there is some real interest. There is some interest. I said last night on Insiders about the Jaguars preparing a bold move, and I really wonder, "are they a team that tries to come up?" As Rapoport first mentions, the Browns likely stay put. But if the Jaguars were to make an offer, what would it look like? To somewhat help guide us through the potential compensation needed, we can look at the Jimmy Johnson trade value chart. The No. 2 pick is valued at 2,600 points, and the fifth overall pick is 1,700. So that is 900 points on this trade chart that the Jaguars have to make up the difference for. The pick worth 900 points on this Jimmy Johnson chart is the 18th overall selection. So the starting point for a deal would be the Jaguars' 2026 first-round pick. However, future draft picks don't carry the same amount of value as the current year's picks do. Also, in not knowing where in the first round the Jaguars will be picking in 2026, the Browns could require more--not to mention that there could be an additional tax included, considering the move up the board is for Hunter, a prospect whom Browns' GM Andrew Berry compared to Shohei Ohtani. So, for a rough idea of what it might take, we can safely assume it would take pick No. 5, a first-round pick in 2026, and then something on top of that, potentially multiple other picks--depending on which round they are in--or perhaps another early-round selection. As GM James Gladstone described during his pre-draft press conference, he is very aware of how his first pick can set the tone and path for the organization moving forward under his leadership. 'I think, naturally, that's absolutely where your mind goes,' Gladstone said via Jaguars on SI. 'We've had discussions on that subject a number of times. Certainly feel really good about the pot of players right now that we're discussing. And that would align with all the messages that we would like to send to the locker room, to our fanbase, to the greater football landscape about who the Jacksonville Jaguars are going to be moving forward.' As of now, the Jaguars are set to have 10 picks once again in 2026, which includes one selection in each of the first three rounds and two fourth-rounders.

2025 NFL draft: Full Ravens' draft order with Jimmy Johnson, Rich Hill trade value charts
2025 NFL draft: Full Ravens' draft order with Jimmy Johnson, Rich Hill trade value charts Full Baltimore Ravens' 2025 NFL draft order with Jimmy Johnson and Rich Hill trade value charts for fans to help piece together your best trades The 2025 NFL draft is just hours away, and thanks to Jimmy Johnson, Gil Brandt, and Rich Hill, even the most inexperienced general manager can manage most draft-day trades. Every team in the NFL has a trade value chart based on the one devised by the former Cowboys head coach and enhanced by Hill. Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta is among the best in the league at moving up and down draft boards. Baltimore will certainly be among the teams utilizing the chart to restock a championship roster. The details of any trade can be found in the value of the moves, using the NFL's trade value chart. What is the 'trade value chart? Back when he was the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys and building a dynasty, Jimmy Johnson developed a value chart that assigned every draft pick a specific point value. This made it easier for him and front-office types to compare the relative value of draft picks in different rounds. A system formulated by personnel guru Gil Brandt and the former Cowboys head coach in the 1990s, the chart helps measure the value of draft assets and helps negotiate trades. Named the "Dallas Draft Picks Value Chart," executives from around the league swear by Johnson's grading system for picks and refer to it before making a final decision on trade proposals or offers. Draft capital Using the trade value chart from DraftTek, Baltimore has the 26th-best draft capital among NFL teams and the third-best draft capital in the AFC North. We've provided both charts with picks for all 32 teams to help with your mock draft calculations and evaluate what happens on draft weekend. 26. Ravens Draft Capital: 1269.8 Round 7: No. 243 Round 1: No. 27 overall Round 2: No. 59 Round 3: No. 91 Round 4: Nos. 129, 136 (Compensatory Selection) Round 5: No. 176 (Compensatory Selection) Round 6: Nos. 183 (from Panthers), 203, 210 (Compensatory Selection), 212 (Compensatory Selection) 2025 draft value based off Jimmy Johnson Trade Chart Jimmy Johnson created the original NFL Draft value chart during his time with the Cowboys in the early 1990s. With the guidance of Gil Brandt, the Cowboys assigned numerical values to each draft pick to evaluate the worth of picks for potential trades. The draft value trade chart was created by assigning the highest value to the first pick in the draft, which was 3,000 points. After that, each pick decreased in value, and at its core, Dallas operated with a competitive advantage until the rest of the NFL caught on. In case you're unfamiliar with the old-school Jimmy Johnson trade chart, here's how the Ravens value charts out courtesy of Pro Football Reference. Rich Hill Trade Chart Because the addition of compensatory picks impacts the value of other selections, Rich Hill (Pats Pulpit) updated the chart in recent years to reflect their trade value.
