Bob Glauber's NFL mini-mock draft

At 6-1, 209, Ramsey is fast and physical, just the way Gus Bradley likes his corners. 6. Ravens: DeForest Buckner, DT, Oregon. The Ravens may be tempted to go offensive tackle here, but Buckner would also be a good fit, especially after the Ravens’ defense wasn’t the same without the powerful inside presence of Haloti Ngata, who was traded to the Lions last season. 7. 49ers: Myles Jack, LB, UCLA. There are some questions about his knee, but there’s no doubt about his athleticism. Niners GM Trent Baalke hasn’t shied away from players with injury issues before, and Jack can go a long way toward filling the void left by the departures of Patrick Willis and Chris Borland. 8. Browns: Shaq Lawson, OLB, Clemson. With Robert Griffin’s arrival and the Browns’ lack of conviction on Wentz or Goff, they traded down from No. 2 overall and can now concentrate on bringing back a pass rush. There’s a need at wide receiver as well, but the receiver at No. 8 overall is with Lawson. 9. Buccaneers: Vernon Hargreaves, CB, Florida. The Bucs are so thin at cornerback that they signed 32-year-old Brent Grimes as a free agent, so there’s plenty of room for a playmaking cornerback like Hargreaves, who had 10 interceptions in three seasons at Florida. 10. Giants: Ronnie Stanley, T, Notre Dame. GM Jerry Reese loaded up on defense in free agency, concentrating on players young enough to last several years and giving him some flexibility on draft day. He has gone offensive line two of the last three years in the first round (Ereck Flowers and Justin Pugh), but there’s a need for another franchise-caliber tackle. 20. Jets: Noah Spence, DE/OLB, Eastern Kentucky. If Lawson somehow falls this far — doubtful — he’d be a perfect fit. Spence isn’t that far behind, though, and the Jets desperately need an outside rusher for Todd Bowles’ pressure defense. (Newsday)

BOYS BASKETBALL ROUNDUP: Records fall as McNeil tops Stony Point

Myron Hardy (1,010) as the only players in program history to breach the 1,000-point mark. Stony Point was led by 16 points by Kyle Banks. Blake Buckner contributed 15. McNeil continued its quest toward district perfection with a home game against Pflugerville on Jan. 19, and the Mavs travel to Round Rock on Jan. 22. Stony Point hosted Rouse on Jan. 19 before traveling to Pflugerville on Jan. 22. Cedar Ridge falls to Rouse by 15 Cedar Ridge (8-9, 1-4) followed its first district win of the year with a tough loss against Rouse on Jan. 15, falling 74-59 in front of a hostile crowd on the road. Cedar Ridge came into the game with high spirits after erasing a double-digit half time deficit for its first district win two nights earlier. But the Raiders were unable to recapture the magic they had harnessed earlier in the week, falling into a 35-21 halftime hole that they were unable to recover from. Rouse’s Austin Meyer finished with a game-high 21 points. He also had seven rebounds. Curry Flowers had 15 points and nine rebounds. Sam Paulsen and Kyle Mitchell each had 14 points. Standouts for the Raiders included Tim Holland (18 points), Chris Nobles (15), and Chase Pinter (10). The Raiders traveled to Hendrickson on Jan. 19 and hosts Westwood on Jan. 23. Round Rock nearly ekes out first district win Round Rock came close to capturing its first district win twice last week, losing a pair of games by a combined five points. The Dragons best shot came on Jan. 12 against Cedar Ridge. Round Rock took a commanding 40-28 lead into halftime before the Raiders answered with a 40-24 run in the second half to pull out a 68-65 win. Round Rock’s Donovan Armstrong was the game’s leading scorer, finishing with 19 points. Two nights later, against Hendrickson, Round Rock once again held a halftime lead (21-20) and even took a four-point lead into the fourth quarter before Hendrickson exploded for 23 points over the final eight minutes to capture a 57-55 victory. The Dragons will try their luck again this week with games against Westwood and McNeil. (Austin American-Statesman)
