This No. 1 pick is ...
This No. 1 pick is ... Good morning!🙋🏼♀️ I'm Nicole Fallert. Allergies are so bad right now. Quick look at Friday's news: Round 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft begins Friday at 7 p.m. ET. The Vatican is preparing funeral ceremonies for Pope Francis to take place on Saturday. Why is it still so dangerous to have a baby in the US? The official coronation of Cam Ward NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced Thursday night the Tennessee Titans selected former University of Miami (Fla.) quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. But the draft is a long way from completion – 225 picks yet to be made over Friday and Saturday in Rounds 2 through 7. Recap of Night 1 in Green Bay: With a shortage of stars – particularly a quarterback – the first 32 selections seemingly didn't drive the same level of divisiveness in the discourse around each decision.

There were some questionable picks : Take Tyler Booker, who went No. 12 to the Dallas Cowboys.

And Shedeur Sanders got skipped: The youngest son of Colorado coach Deion Sanders, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders went undrafted Thursday night. After he said 'under no circumstance, we all know this shouldn't have happened.' Friday is the last day to see Pope Francis lying in state Thousands of faithful will take the last chance on Friday to queue in the streets to see Pope Francis' body dressed in traditional garb and resting in a simple, wooden coffin. Then the Vatican will begin preparations for Saturday's funeral in St. Peter's Square. A procession will transport Pope Francis to his burial site in Rome's Basilica of Saint Mary Major, per the wishes written in his final testament. This is a departure from tradition: Many of Francis' predecessors have been laid to rest in the crypt of St. Peter's Basilica. Here's how to livestream Saturday's ceremony and who's attending (including President Donald Trump). More news to know now What's the weather today? Check your local forecast here. Exclusive: Memo reveals Tren de Aragua deportation plan Trump administration officials directed law enforcement nationwide to pursue suspected gang members into their homes, in some cases without any sort of warrant, according to a copy of the directive exclusively obtained by USA TODAY. The directive, issued by Attorney General Pam Bondi March 14, provides the first public view of the specific implementation of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act invoked to deport migrants accused of being members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. For weeks, news organizations, members of Congress, the courts and advocates have pressed the administration to provide operational details and evidence to support its claims these men are Tren de Aragua members, a newly designated foreign terrorist organization. Luigi Mangione to be arraigned on federal charges Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old accused in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, is set to be arraigned on federal charges Friday. The hearing will be the first since Mangione became eligible for the death penalty after a grand jury indicted him on a charge of murder through the use of a firearm as well as stalking and a firearms offense. The Justice Department has publicly called for prosecutors to seek the death penalty against Mangione. In response, Mangione's attorneys filed a motion requesting the judge to take capital punishment off the table. Today's talkers Why is it still so dangerous to have a baby in the US? Matthew Okula raced up the stairs toward the ICU and watched through the room's glass window as doctors performed chest compressions on his wife, 33-year-old Hailey Okula, who had just given birth to their son. Not long after, Hailey died from a rare complication known as amniotic fluid embolism, or AFE. The unfathomable loss last month followed a two-year fertility journey that included in vitro fertilization, or IVF. Okula is one among hundreds of women in the U.S. who die each year during or soon after pregnancy. While technology has progressed enough to help women grow their families despite older age and fertility issues, the U.S. healthcare system hasn't kept the same pace in protecting women once they're pregnant.
