Draft buzz: Ezekiel Elliott generating plenty of interest
The Los Angeles Rams are trying to maintain a sense of mystery about the top pick of the NFL draft, but they aren't fooling anyone.

While the drama has diminished at the very top of the draft, the rest of the first round is a total mystery. No one has a clue who the San Diego Chargers will take at No. 3 (more on that later). The Dallas Cowboys are a wild card at No. 4, wi..>> view originalGiavotella's 3-run HR helps Weaver, Angels beat Royals 9-4
