I know our American friends are preoccupied (justifiably so) with their Presidential election. However I thought you might find it instructive to hear this morning's news from Melbourne Australia.
The Victoria Police have announced they will be deploying surveillance drones over the suburbs this weekend. The reason: to catch people breaching covid 19 lockdown rules by hosting BBQs with friends or family to watch the football grand final on TV. Police raids and multi-thousand dollar fines will follow.
This is the type of police state response you get when 'progressive' socialist parties get elected. Something for you to consider as you head into your own election.
Shoot down the drones.

It's a sad thing but I am actually a little bit worried about this upcoming election.
Here in Colorado we just might end up with 2 Democrats in the Senate and the possibility of loosing a couple of House seats to them also. From what I have seen Kelly just might pull it off in Arizona, and while I don't agree with what is happening I think that Biden does have a chance to take Trump out.
So with what I am seeing the Democrats could take a slim majority in the Senate and hold the House.
I don't like it but some Republicans have cut their own throats and Gardner here in Colorado is one of them
If you don't care where you are, you are not lost.

I think that many of us are hoping that level headed Democrats and independents, have noticed what a radical clown show the Democrat party has become, and vote accordingly. The one glaringly negative aspect, is that many voters are programmed to hate Trump, and to vote for anyone with a (D) next to their name, even if it's Satan himself. They are oblivious to the consequences.

Exactly correct.
I suppose that I was one of those until Regan. I was almost one again under Bush the younger. Our family history is replete with destruction. The original home place in the South Carolina Piedmont was burned by Banastre Tarleton's Loyalist cavalry during the Revolution. Pulling themselves up by their bootstraps and loyal to Jefferson's concept of Democracy, they had rebuilt their lives by the 1850's. They voted against Lincoln and served in gray. One died leading a brigade at Gettysburg and another walked 750 miles home from a Great Lakes prison camp. They came home to find those homes and homesteads looted and burned to the ground by Sherman. By the 1920's the next generation had rebuilt their families and their lives. Obviously, they were still loyal democrats. One grandfather was a state legislator and attorney, the other a carpenter. In '29 their world collapsed again. The home places were sold rather than burned, but my maternal grandfather's family was broken up as his practice collapsed, and the other survived from day to day for a decade. FDR brought them hope.
My father, a well respected southern historian, was one of those FDR democrats. He served his country in combat in the China Burma Theater. He strongly supported JFK, and with reservations supported Johnson. He despised Nixon. I am glad he did not live long enough to have the crisis of conscience that Clinton would have caused him. He hated socialism, believed in this country, and thought of Republicans as a country club clique. He would have despised liberal constructions such as the 1619 project.
Such democrats are still out there. My brother is one. Biden was nominated for the sole purpose of keeping them in the fold through this election. There is nothing about the democrat base that will tie them to that party in the future.
Everyone has a story. It is always interesting learning family histories. Those of us with ties to the Confederacy share a history that many American's don't completely understand. ie: being called a Yankee is much more of an insult than being called a peckerwood, coonass or cracker.
Our family history in this land starts in 1620. Ancestors fought in every war starting at Lexington Green up to a brother n law's service in Korea, including both sides of the War between the States. My father was in the 3rd Army. On VJ day he was in Nuremburg with orders to the Pacific Theater. There is a chance this post wouldn't be made if not for an atomic bomb.
It doesn't seem our family is officer material although I have heard that Joe Wheeler was a relative if not a direct ancestor.
My parents are the ones who made the switch from southern Democrat to Republican. Like you I felt the Republican party leaving me during the Bush II years. The party of McCain, Romney, McConnell, Boehner, Ryan was not my Republican party. Trump is certainly not a Republican in any traditional sense of the word, yet he has delivered more than any President in my lifetime for the country and the ordinary man. Four years ago I wasn't big on Trump. I also didn't realize how close to the precipice the Republic stood. Trump is an imperfect man, yet he identified the problem and has stood in the breach for all of us. He needs four more years to finish turning the ship. Democrat or Republican, It is our turn to stand in the breach for him.

It's amazing how hypnotic a political affiliation can be when the party represents ideals not reflected in the current crop of representatives. I voted for our Conservative -turned socialist- government here in Ontario. They are totally out of their depth, and oozing incompetence. Yet, despite the clown cluster F@#% they are, I will vote for them again! The "party" stands for my beliefs even if the current brass does not. What's a fella to do?

I haven't paid close attention to Gardner. What has he done to cut his own throat.
In Presidential elections, the candidate tends to pull the down ticket upwards. In your case I agree that Gardner may have a problem. Conversely, McSally may get to ride the coattails back to capitol hill.

Gardner essentially ignored the folks here in Colorado for a long time. He would miss town halls and other events where he was suppose to take questions. I saw the writing on the wall 2 or 3 years ago with what he wasn't doing. That and Hickenlooper was a popular Governor here in the state even if he flipped around on just about everything. Colorado is more blue than red so I expect to see Hick get in.
The way that I look at McSally is that she didn't get it done the first time around when she was running against Sinema and had to be appointed by the Governor to to get into the Senate. Perhaps she will make it because she is the incumbent, but who knows until 11/4 after the election.
Thanks for helping me understand the Gardner situation better.
With regard to the DemonRats hijacking the Democrats- Ronald Reagan was a longtime Democrat- he was the president of the Actors guild (aka union) and by any stretch a classic liberal. but when asked why he was supporting the Republican party he replied that He hadn't left the Democrat party, the Democrat party left him. and this is true for millions of Democrats. they believe that the government should be there for the benefit of the citizens. But benefiting the citizens is not seen as including the recent "woke" behaviors and move toward a totalitarian state with the disregard by authorities of the Constitution. The MSM doesn't broadcast these things so to the casual observer and to those seeing things from the viewpoint of lifelong Democrats, everything that is wrong is being blamed on President Trump. So as noted the worst thing that could happen to the Democrat party would be for them to gain complete control of the three branches of government because they will not be able to handle success and with their actions they will convince even the most die-hard Democrat that their party has left them.
Reactions: Wheels and BSO Dave
Unfortunately, I think Gardner is on his way out. He'll get a vast majority of votes here in El Paso County (Colorado Springs), but he can't compete with the Democrats voting in Denver and surrounding hoods. Wasn't too long ago that Colorado was mostly Republican, but then Hickenlooper brought in all the technology jobs and all these liberal a******* from California, Washington and elsewhere came here and continue to vote the same way as what destroyed their states. Imagine that?

These Democrats have been Democrats their entire lives and want to continue to be Democrats. Democrats that don't understand what has happened to their party. Democrats that may vote conservative occasionally, but will never register as a Republican. These are the ones that the current Democrat party has completely abandoned.
These are the good solid Democrats of which I refer.
I apologize for my generalization. I was referring to democrat politicians and more specifically those dems elected to the House, Senate, many more occupying City Halls and Governor's mansions all over this Republic.. They are the feckless cowards and pandering fools I was referring to.
The moderate democrats that you describe are certainly caught between a rock and a hard place in this current political environment. I am sure that there are many who are uncomfortable, if not outright angry with the fact that the radicals have hijacked the party. I would actually have empathy for them if it were not for the fact they these are also the same democrat voters that continue to elect the likes of Pelosi, Schumer, Nadler, Schiff, Watters, Leahy, Klobuchar, Blumenthal, Coons, Hirono, Sanders, Booker, Harris, Cuomo, Northam, Whitmer, etc., and the list goes on and on... These are not the "squad of 4 idiots".. These are the franchise names and faces who keep me from taking the democratic party of today seriously...
If these types of politicians do not represent the interests of the majority of the democratic constituency that you elude to, then why do they continue to get re-elected term after term? If moderate dem voters still make up the majority of the party, then why are the franchise swampers continuing to take the party father left than at any point in history? Why has Biden transformed from a moderate (which I truly believed him to be 40 years ago) to a pandering idiot that will do or say anything on any given day to appease the radical left if they do not constitute the true base of the party? I do feel bad for those of you who have not lost your collective minds, and still embrace the core values and founding principles of this country. However, I think there far fewer of your moderates in existence than you think which is sad for all of us...

Texas used to be a Democrat state, yes it had a few republicans. Those democrats where either Conservative or Liberal. The Conservatives left the Democrat party and became Republicans. The only conservative Democrats left are in very rural areas and the Yellow dogs among them are very few.
I suspect after this election, there will be no conservative Democrats left in Texas, they are being run out by the progressives.

In my neck of the woods, a state where no county voted for Obama in 2012, there are still a number of conservative Democrats dealing with cognitive dissonance. Perhaps 20-25% of the Democrat party.
It doesn't take many Democrats like them, to swing an election. A 5% switch in 10 states can change a Biden victory to a Trump landslide with 330+ EV's.

Clippers' Paul George questions the 'narrative of me not being a postseason player' after Game 6 loss to Suns
Posted by nbanews — July 1, 2021 in NBA Articles 0 1
Paul George has struggled for years with the narrative that his play declined in the postseason. His shooting numbers dipped somewhat and he has never won a championship, but he averaged almost 24 points per game over the six postseasons before the 2020-21 campaign while playing some of the best defense in basketball. He brought the Indiana Pacers within one game of the NBA Finals and went toe-to-toe with LeBron James in the process.
But fans wouldn't let go of a few disappointing moments. Damian Lillard hitting a series-clinching jumper over him. The Clippers blowing a 3-1 lead last postseason to the Denver Nuggets with George hitting the side of the backboard on a jumper in the process. There were jokes about his self-bestowed "Playoff P" nickname. George heard it all, and he responded with the best postseason of his career. He brought the Clippers to Game 6 of the Western Conference finals without Kawhi Leonard by his side and averaged just under 27 points per game in the process. After getting knocked out of the postseason on Wednesday, George remarked that he didn't quite understand the idea that he struggles in the postseason.
"The narrative of me not being a postseason player, all of that is… I never understood it," George said. "But, you know, it's not much. I'm the same person. I've dealt with stuff, as we all do. Makes me no different than the next man. It is what it is. I came up short again. I'm proud of what we did as a team. I wasn't out to prove nothing to nobody, but to show up as a leader for this team. Put us in position to get to where we get to. Again, came up short. My good wasn't enough. But there's room for improvement, which is what I try to continue to push the envelope to get better going into this summer. But it's good though. I'll look back, I'll reflect, I'll see what I need to get better at. Address it right away. It's time to start training."
Keep an eye on your inbox.

Even if the Clippers came up short this postseason, it would be hard to argue that George is a poor postseason player now. He saved his team's season on Monday with 41 points on 75 percent shooting. He helped the Clippers take down a No. 1 seed without their best player. The Clippers may not have won the championship, but George had to play like a champion just to give them a chance to make it this far. He did that, and even without that elusive trip to the Finals, the narrative surrounding his playoff performance has changed for good.

 Create New Link

  <%= form_for(@link, url: links_path(params[:id])) do |f| %>

    <%= f.label :from %>

    <%= f.submit "Submit", class: "btn btn-primary" %>
  <% end %>

A: In Links model, you have an association to the columns from_device and to_device. You want to associate the Links table through whatever the foreign key is. So something like:
has_many :links, foreign_key: "from_device"
has_many :links, foreign_key: "to_device"

see if that helps. Same for your Device model.

When Can I Receive the COVID-19 Vaccine?
Valley Regional Medical Center is distributing COVID-19 vaccines to its frontline health care colleagues according to the tiering system developed by federal officials. The vaccines that Valley Regional Medical Center, as well as all other healthcare systems, are receiving are distributed by the State of Texas, through the Texas Department of Health.
Due to the fact that only two vaccines have been approved for emergency use in the United States, the supply is very limited. Valley Regional Medical Center is currently only receiving enough vaccines to vaccinate our colleagues. We do not yet have access to vaccine doses for the public.
The Cameron County Department of Public Health is a vaccine hub that organizes mass vaccination points. For information about upcoming vaccination events, please visit their website or Facebook page:
Cameron County Department of Public Health website
Cameron County Department of Public Health Facebook page
We sincerely hope that shortly after frontline healthcare colleagues receive their second doses of the vaccine, we will receive supplies from the state that will enable us to offer the vaccine to our patients and the public by appointment.
Some providers are already offering appointments to members of the public who fall into the Tier 1B and 1C sections – those who are 65 or older, are frontline essential workers, or who have high-risk medical conditions. If you fall into one of those categories and want to know which providers are able to offer the vaccine to you, resources can be found at Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) (state.tx.us).
At Valley Regional Medical Center, we know there are many people who are anxious about the pandemic and are eager to receive their two doses of the vaccine. We appreciate your patience as we work toward our goal of being able to offer vaccines to the general public in the near future.

Facts about COVID-19 vaccines
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC):
FACT: COVID-19 vaccines have undergone and will continue to undergo the most intensive safety monitoring in U.S. history
FACT: COVID-19 vaccines will not give you COVID-19
FACT: Getting vaccinated can help prevent serious illness
FACT: People who have gotten sick with COVID-19 may still benefit from getting vaccinated
FACT: Receiving an mRNA vaccine will not alter your DNA
See the CDC's resource page for extensive information about common myths and the facts regarding COVID-19 vaccination.
Why should I get vaccinated?
Immunization helps save millions of lives every year. Whereas most medicines treat or cure diseases, vaccines can help prevent them by working with your body's natural defenses to build protection. When you receive a vaccine, your immune system responds.
Vaccines prevent more than 20 life-threatening diseases, and help people of all ages live longer, healthier lives. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that globally, immunization currently prevents between 2 and 3 million deaths every year from diseases like diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, influenza and measles.
COVID-19 vaccines work with your immune system so your body will be ready to fight the virus if you are exposed. Other steps, like covering your mouth and nose with a mask and staying at least six feet away from others, may help reduce your chance of being exposed to the virus or spreading it to others. Together, COVID-19 vaccination and following CDC's recommendations to protect yourself and others will offer the best protection from COVID-19.
Are there side effects from COVID-19 vaccines?
According to the CDC, serious side effects that could cause a long-term health problem are extremely unlikely following any vaccination, including COVID-19 vaccination. There may be some short-term, minor side effects (for example, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, chills, joint pain, a sore arm where a shot was given or a low-grade fever after a vaccine). These effects are normal. They indicate that your body is building protection against the virus, and they should go away on their own within a few days.
For more about potential side effects, what to expect and what to look for, please visit the CDC's resource page.
If I have already gotten sick with COVID-19, do I still need to get vaccinated for COVID-19?
Due to a range of health risks associated with COVID-19 and the fact that re-infection is possible, patients may be advised to get a COVID-19 vaccine even if they have been sick with COVID-19 before. If you have questions or concerns about vaccination after you have tested positive for COVID-19, please consult your physician.
What do I need to know about the COVID-19 vaccine if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for all people 12 years old and older, including people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, trying to get pregnant or might become pregnant in the future. There is no evidence that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines cause an increased risk of infertility.
For more information about COVID-19 vaccines and pregnancy, visit the CDC's recommendations page.
What about children and the COVID-19 vaccine?
Children are eligible to get vaccinated against COVID-19. For more information about COVID-19 vaccinations for children and teens, speak to your pediatrician or consult the CDC's resource page.
If I have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19, do I need a booster shot?
In 2021, the CDC recommended that people whose immune systems are compromised moderately to severely should receive an additional dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine after the initial two doses.
Since that time, the CDC's booster shot guidance evolved with respect to patient eligibility criteria and specific vaccines recommended for boosters.
Please consult with a physician if you have specific questions about COVID-19 vaccine booster shots. The CDC's COVID-19 vaccine section is continually updated to share the most recent guidance regarding the vaccine and ongoing developments with boosters.

Ministry and a Citroen
By Mark Tronson - Press Service International
Photo - A Citroen DL
My son-in-law is a jogger wrist watch timer heart beat 'the lot' running around the Hornsby district in Sydney and he came across a house with several Citroens all in immaculate condition. He sent me a photo.
On my next visit to Sydney I happened to be in that area of Sydney and found the house and was granted permission to take a few photographs. The visit could have been one of several hours.
James May's YouTube video on the Citroen DS is introduced by looking at a wall with photographs of modern vehicles with the latest of technologies and exclaiming a question: What if all these things were in one vehicle: he then zips back to 1955 and we're taken on a journey to the Citroen DS.
I fell in passionate zeal for the Citroen DS as a high school student in the early 1960s due its astonishing design. The steering wheel shaft was something else: it was shaped not unlike a dog's hind leg. Then a later model sported a double headlight that turned with the steering wheel.
French company produced the DS Citroen from 1955 to 1975. Styled by Italian sculptor and industrial designer Flaminio Bertoni and the French aeronautical engineer Andre Lefebvre, the DS was known for its aerodynamic futuristic body design and innovative technology, including a hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension.
The DS advanced achievable standards in automobile ride quality, handling and braking. Citron sold nearly 1.5 million D-series during the model's 20-year production run. The DS came in third in the 1999 Car of the Century competition, recognising the world's most influential auto designs, and was named the most beautiful car of all time by Classic & Sports Car magazine
To a France still deep in reconstruction after the devastation of World War II, and also building its identity in the post-colonial world, the DS motor car was a symbol of French ingenuity. Wikipedia quotes structuralist philosopher Roland Barthes, in an essay about the car, said that it looked as if it had "fallen from the sky".
Yes, I have a 2010 photograph of a Citroen DS on my wall taken in Darwin at a museum. I enjoy that photograph's presence and memories of those far off high school days, and my dreams of it.
A concept Citroen
Citroen regularly revealing concept vehicles. Citroen says a concept car is built on a new modular platform, which minimises weight, and with each new concept model they try to do things a little better. The European market place is their central focus.
But Australia has been a happy hunting ground for the Citroen over several decades. The DS was the first mass production car with front power disc brakes. It had different front and rear track widths and tyre sizes reduced the under-steer typical of front-engined and front wheel drive. Another car of the era with this difference of width between the front and rear wheels was the Jaquar 1 most famously driven by television's Chief Inspector Morse of Oxford.
Rural farming areas in NSW in the sixties had a huge push for the DS Citroen where many were purchased as its suspension suited the rougher terrain of Australian farming. The next large Citroen had a lower line and did not sit as well with such rural communities.
Past Country Town Tours - seeking a DS Citroen
Our Country Town Tour program over many years took in many guises, some with sport coaches, some with athletes, some with corporate executives and the like. On Country Town Tours we visit schools, youth groups, dinners, men's breakfasts and the like.
We asked about one with a DS Citroen, the car of the century!
In my mind the DS was a design that produced economy with its aerodynamics, an engine without fan fare, and something so different that it created an atmosphere of much fascination.
To me, this is not that dissimilar to the Gospel message:
a) simplicity of design - Jesus died on the cross for my sin;
b) aerodynamic design - the economy of God directs my path;
c) a straight forward engine: a plain speaking bible shows the way
d) fascinating concept - the challenge of the Gospel is breathtaking.
Anyone who has a DS Citroen to donate or loan, in order to take on our Country Town Tours as the car of the century, and use as an illustration of Gospel truths, I would love to hear from you! It would certainly create attention! timeout@bushorchestra.com or

Nave Warfel Memorial Organ
The nave organ, built by Hermann Schlicker of Buffalo NY was installed in 1976 in a new organ case in the rear gallery of the nave. It contains 52 ranks in 44 speaking stops. Purchased through a bequest of M. Eva and Naomi E. Warfel in memory of their parents, it bears the name 'Warfel Memorial Organ.' Frank McConnell, then organist/choirmaster of St. James' Episcopal Church, Lancaster, and consultant for the organ, played the opening recital on 29 November 1967. Abram Longenderfer chaired the organ committee that planned for the instrument. Digital electronic 16′ and 32′ Bourdon stops were added by Walker Technical Company under the direction of Dr. Karl Moyer in October 2000.
Chapel Organ
In May 1991 a two-manual tracker-action pipe organ of 14 ranks was moved from a private home in South Carolina to the newly-constructed St. Peter Chapel as a gift of Arthur Freiburg in memory of Theresa M. Freiburg, Mrs. Margaret Frey in memory of L. Ralph Frey, and Mrs. Helen Bucks in memory of Paul A. Bucks. Built in 1986 by Roger Pulham of Charsfield, Suffolk Co, England, in the 18th-century French style, it has recently be refurbished by the Soli Deo Gloria Organ Co. of Millersville PA and serves for weekly Saturday evening Eucharists, weekly services of Evening Prayer and for weddings and funerals held in the chapel.

Juan Soto homers twice in Washington Nationals' 7-6 win over the Philadelphia Phillies...
Juan Soto hit his 17th and 18th home runs of the season in the Nationals' 7-6 win over the Phillies in Citizens Bank Park.

A five-run fifth gave the Philadelphia Phillies a 5-3 lead, and they added an insurance run in the eighth, 6-3, but the Washington Nationals rallied to tie it in a three-run ninth with a Trea Turner walk with the bases loaded and two out making it a 6-6 game before Juan Soto hit his second home run of the night in the 10th, 7-6.
Roark vs the Phillies: Tanner Roark was winless in his last four starts heading into tonight's outing against the Phillies in Citizens Bank Park. Over that stretch, the 31-year-old National had a rough 4.95 ERA and a .266/.266/.519 line against in 20 IP, in which he walked no one and struck out 15.
One of those starts was a scoreless three-inning outing against Philadelphia in the nation's capital, in which the Nationals' right-hander gave up just one hit.
He left that game after a 1-hour, 40-minute rain delay, so he received no decision, and was left (0-3) in four starts against the Nationals' NL East rivals this season, in which he's put up a 4.58 ERA, 10 walks, 22 Ks, and a .280/.368/.440 line against in 19 2⁄3 IP.
Roark tossed four scoreless against the Phillies on just 46 pitches tonight, as the Nationals jumped out to a 3-0 lead, but Nick Williams lined a leadoff double to right to start a rally in the bottom of the fifth, with Odubel Herrera singling one out later, pinch hitter Asdrubal Carbera driving in Williams with a double, Cesar Hernandez driving Herrera in with an RBI single, and Cabrera scoring on an RBI double by Rhys Hoskins, before two more scored on Wilson Ramos's two-run single, 5-3. Carlos Santana doubled too to put runners on second and third with two out. That was it for Roark.
Let's go, Buffalo!

Tanner Roark's Line: 4.2 IP, 10 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 0 BB, 2 Ks, 70 P, 49 S, 6/1 GO/FO.
Arrieta vs the Nationals: Jake Arrieta gave up four hits, three walks, and four earned runs in just three innings against the Nationals in Citizens Bank Park during the last series between the NL East rivals, throwing 75 pitches before he was done in what ended up an 8-6 win for Washington.
That outing extended a five-start winless streak for Philadelphia's veteran right-hander, who put up a 4.50 ERA, 10 walks, 22 Ks, and a .236/.314/.434 line against in 28 IP in that stretch.
He snapped that streak with a seven-inning-outing against the Miami Marlins last time out before tonight, holding the Fish to four runs on eight hits in a 9-4 win on the road.
Arrieta fell behind early tonight, however, with Anthony Rendon walking to start the second and scoring on an RBI double to right by Juan Soto, whose 22nd two-base hit of the season gave the Nationals a 1-0 lead.
Rendon walked in front of Soto again in the fourth, and scored on a two-run home run this time as the 19-year-old Nats' outfielder crushed a first-pitch change up in the zone and hit one out to right field to make it 3-0 Nationals.

So-So-Soto!!: Anthony Rendon, who walked more than he K'd in college (and in the majors in 2017), took walks from Jake Arrieta in each of his first two plate appearances tonight, in the top of the second and the top of the fourth, and Rendon scored each time, with Soto's double to right driving him in the first time and a two-run home run to right field by the 19-year-old outfielder bringing Rendon around again, 3-0.

BULLPEN ACTION: Pat Neshek got the sixth for the Phillies after they took a 5-3 lead with a five-run fifth, and retired the side in order in a 16-pitch frame.
Tim Collins and Jimmy Cordero combined for a scoreless sixth.
Edubray Ramos needed 18 pitches to get through a 1-2-3 top of the seventh.
Austen Williams worked around back-to-back, one-out singles, getting a double play (that was reviewed for interference at second) to end the inning and keep it 5-3 Philly.
Luis Avilan and Seranthony Dominguez combined for a scoreless top of the eighth.
Kyle McGowin gave up a solo home run on a 1-1 slider to Jose Bautista in the first at bat of the Phillies' eighth, 6-3.
Seranthony Dominguez issued the third walk of the night to Anthony Rendon, who took third base on a passed ball on ball four to Juan Soto to put runners on the corners with no one out.
Mark Reynolds struck out for out No. 1 of the Nationals' ninth, but Matt Wieters singled to right to drive Rendon in and make it 6-4. Ryan Zimmerman hit a grounder to short for out No. 2 on a force at second, but a sharp grounder to short by Andrew Stevenson brought Soto in from third, 6-5. Adam Eaton? With the tying run on second? Walk. Bases loaded.

Trea Turner got a new pitcher, Luis Garcia, and worked the count full and walked to force in the tying rub, 6-6. Bryce Harper K'd swinging to end the top of the ninth.
Justin Miller came on in a suddenly tied game and walked Andrew Knapp before hitting Cesar Hernandez to end a 13-pitch at bat and put two on with no one out. Miller popped Rhys Hopkins up for the first out of the inning before Davey Martinez went to the pen for left-hander Matt Grace, who got a force at second for out No. 2.
Wander Suero came on with runners on the corners and two out and tripped on the mound as he delivered his first pitch, bouncing one off the infield grass and by the plate instead of throwing it, as J.P Crawford moved into scoring position. Suero walked Carlos Santana to load them up and popped Jose Bautista up to end the threat. On to extras...
Yacksel Rios took over for the Phillies ... and gave up a one-out home run to left-center on an 0-1 fastball to Juan Soto that the rookie outfielder sent out to left-center for his second home run of the game and 18th of the season. 7-6.
Greg Holland finished the Phillies off with a scoreless bottom of the tenth, working around back-to-back two-out walks to Asdrubal Cabrera and Andrew Knapp to earn the save.

'The biggest show of the year'
The City of Carlsbad is preparing for the biggest fireworks display show the city has ever seen.
'The biggest show of the year' The City of Carlsbad is preparing for the biggest fireworks display show the city has ever seen. Check out this story on CurrentArgus.com: http://www.currentargus.com/story/news/local/2017/07/03/biggest-show-year/448643001/

Tens of thousands of people are expected to crowd Lake Carlsbad Beach Park for the City of Carlsbad's annual fireworks display over the Pecos River.
Carlsbad Mayor Dale Janway said in a news release that this year's display will be the largest the city has organized.
The display will feature about 3,000 charges in a half-hour choreographed event, said Carlsbad Fire Department Chief Rick Lopez.

Approximately $57,000 of the city's Lodger's Tax was used to put on the display, but private donations through the Carlsbad Fireworks Fund were also received.
Karen Olguin, of Lubbock, Texas, said her family made the drive to Carlsbad specifically for the fireworks.
"We've always heard about it from family, and I thought 'why not?' They called it the biggest show of the year," Olguin said. "It sounds like it'll be a good show if you can get a good seat."
The display begins at dusk — around 9 p.m. — and is synchronized to music being broadcast over CD104.1. The synchronized music is also available through Carlsbad Radio's streaming ap.
The event is free to the public, and last year drew nearly 60,000 to Carlsbad's beach area.
More than just a light show
For the Olguin family and other visitors the city offers more than just a fireworks display.
At 9 a.m. the annual Fourth of July parade will make its way through downtown Carlsbad.
"It's going to be worth coming out and seeing," said Michael Smart.
"It's good for the community and I love to see people have fun."
Michael Smart
Smart, who has helped organized the parade the last 20 years, said the route has changed slightly, ending only two blocks from where it started.
This year, the parade will begin at the corner of Main and Stevens Street and head north to Church Street, where it will turn west and then head south on Canyon Street. The parade will conclude at the corner of Fox and Canyon.
"It's good for the community and I love to see people have fun," Smart said of the event that draws a couple hundred of people each year.
Karla Hamel, director of Carlsbad MainStreet, said while residents and guests are welcome downtown, it's important to remember to be good stewards of the city.
"If everybody will think, if they had to be responsible for picking up trash after the event wouldn't they appreciate it everyone helped pick up after themselves," Hamel said.
Recycle containers are being provided by the city, and trashcans can be found on most corners in downtown Carlsbad.
The Carlsbad Water Park will be open to visitors between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Tickets are $5.

Fireworks sales picking up
Americans purchased $825 million in consumer fireworks in 2016, according the American Pyrotechnics Association. That amounts to 268.4 pounds of fireworks.
Roxanne Hamilton was on duty at Amy's Fireworks on Lea Street and Standpipe Road Monday. Hamilton said while traffic and sales have been steady, most fireworks retailers understand the biggest sale day is July 4.
Customers had a variety of options to chose from inside Amy's Fireworks. From sparklers to variety packs of fireworks priced at $100 or more, commercial sales of fireworks are a big industry.
The 2016 revenue the largest revenue seen in the industry since 1998, and nearly double what is spent on display — or professionally choreographed — fireworks in the nation.
For all the beauty and excitement of a fireworks show, officials and retailers alike understand the importance of safety.
The APA estimates that there were over 11,000 firework related injuries in 2016.
Carlsbad officials urge those who choose to put on their own fireworks display ensure that they have a safe environment for their spectators.
Carlsbad's city ordinance bans fireworks from being ignited on public lands, or in vehicles.
On private property, with the owner's consent, fireworks are not to be displayed after 10 p.m., unless a permit is approved and acquired through city staff.
The ordinance also specifies which kinds of fireworks are allowed to be sold in the city, using the state's statute for "permissible fireworks."
Cone and cylindrical fountains are allowed, along with flitter sparklers, crackling devices, ground spinners, torches and wheels, read the ordinance.
Anyone who violates the city's fireworks ordinance is guilty of a misdemeanor, per the ordinance, and subject to arrest and imprisonment for up to a year or up to $1,000 in fines.
Managing Editor Jessica Onsurez can be reached at 575-628-5531, jonsurez@currentargus.com or on Twitter @JussGREAT.
Tips to make the event safe and fun
Be cautious about where you set off fireworks.
Wear sunscreen and stay hydrated.
Alcohol is prohibited at the Carlsbad Beach and Lake Carlsbad Recreational Area.
Please bring a flashlight if you are going to be there after dark, and keep a close eye on children.
The Carlsbad Police Department does not allow camping or taping off areas to reserve a spot. Once the sun comes up, people can move their stuff in as long as someone stays with it. There is no reserving parking spots with lawn chairs or standing in the parking spot until a car returns.
To avoid being towed, please refrain from double parking or parking in alleys.

Acushnet Man Moves Forward With Helping Pets in Need
Courtesy Kenneth Gonsalves
On Wednesday, I shared a story about a gentleman from Acushnet who worries for the animals in our community during this tough year and wants to provide a service to help families in need feed their pets. Well, I have some great news to share.
Kenneth Gonsalves has taken matters into his own hands and has set up a food pantry, dedicated to providing all kinds of pet food for struggling pet owners.
Yesterday, Kenneth posted in a local Facebook group about a man who bought one can of cat food with the change in his pocket and couldn't help but wonder about other owners that might be struggling to feed their pets. Dozens of people responded by saying they would love to jump in and help improve a tough situation.
Kenneth researched but didn't find many options, so he came up with his own idea.
"We have a vegetable stand that my family has run since 1954, and we've decided to make pet food available there," he said. Curly's Farm on Wing Road is a well-known place, and he hopes to utilize the famous spot to grow attention to his mission.
He discovered that several food pantries sometimes have animal food, but Kenneth said, "it's way out away from the center of town and it's not available except on the weekend." Now, Curly's Farm will be a safe haven for families that struggle to feed their pets.
He's received dozens of messages from people looking to donate or participate in some way. SmartPak, a company out of Plymouth, plans to donate 1,200 pounds of dog food this week.
Kenneth is passionate about getting this project running and has reached out to the director of animal control and several other local organizations to form a plan.
"I don't know where this will go," he said, "But the main goal is to set up a delivery system to make it more available to the public that needs help." Kenneth's biggest challenge right now is getting the word out to the people in need. That's why I felt it was so important to share his story and his mission with the Fun 107 community.
"It feels good to help people," Kenneth said. He lives in the small community of Acushnet but is aiming to make a gigantic impact on struggling pet owners.

The Prosecutor General of Ukraine, Yuriy Lutsenko, has submitted his resignation to the President Petro Poroshenko, the spokesperson of the Prosecutor General Larysa Sarhan, told Ukrainski Novyny (Ukrainian News) news agency.
"Yes, he submitted the resignation," she said, noting that the document was sent on Wednesday, November 7.
On the eve of November 6, Lutsenko announced that he is retiring. He explained that he made this decision due to a "propaganda campaign" that began after the death of activist Kateryna Handziuk. Seventy-five public organizations demanded Lutsenko's resignation. In addition, Rada's MP Mustafa Masi Nayyem said that the Prosecutor General's wife, Irina Lutsenko, delayed creating a commission to investigate attacks on activists.
"I am resigning to show that no one clings to power here. I have done my job and will continue it, but I don't intend to endure the accusations while the investigation works," the Prosecutor General of Ukraine commented on his decision.
Handziuk was a Ukrainian activist. She fought with pro-Russian sentiments in the Kherson region and repeatedly accused the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs officials of corruption. She also held the posts of an advisor to the mayor of Kherson as well as the business manager of the city council's executive committee.
In late July, Handziuk was attacked and doused with sulfuric acid, which burned 35% of her body surface. On November 4, she died in hospital due to a blood clot. Five ex-participants of the military operation in eastern Ukraine were arrested in connection with this attack, three of them are under house arrest, and two more are in custody.


Toshiba Corporation, the pioneer in small form factor hard disk drives (HDDs), today announced two additions to its 5,400 RPM line of 2.5-inch HDDs featuring industry-leading storage capacities. In the standard 9.5 millimeter-high, two-platter design, the MK7559GSXP HDD incorporates both the industry's highest areal density and capacity at 750GB. Sample shipments will start from April, 2010.
The MK7559GSXP HDD features an areal density of 839.1M bit/mm2, making it ideal for mobile applications in which capacity is key, including notebook computers and external HDDs. This HDD is well-suited for devices that value high capacity in a smaller footprint with improved acoustic performance and lower power operation compared to larger form factor HDDs. Those applications include all-in-one desktops, televisions and set top boxes.
Toshiba also introduced a new three-platter 12.5-millimeter-high platform with the MK1059GSM with 1TB of storage. This capacity point was predominantly supported by larger form factor 3.5-inch HDDs until the introduction of high-end 2.5-inch solutions, providing low-power, space-saving opportunities to system manufacturers looking to differentiate or update their products.
The MK7559GSXP energy consumption efficiency is about 14% less than the previous generation (MK6465GSX, 640GB). These products also adhere to Toshiba's environmental initiatives in their use of power efficiency techniques and components that reduce reliance on harmful chemicals, materials and compounds.
The new products offerings expand Toshiba's mobile HDD product line into the highest-capacity segment of the 2.5-inch HDD market and represent the company's first mobile HDD platforms developed with the combined engineering resources from the integration of Fujitsu's HDD business, which Toshiba acquired last fall.

Redrafting the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft
By Ben Linsey
With the headliner of the 2017 NFL Draft just winning his first Super Bowl, it seems like a good time to play a game of "what if?" by going back and shaking up the selections in Patrick Mahomes' draft. I apologize in advance to the city of Kansas City.
There's a caveat. This is not a prediction of what would happen if each team went back to April of 2017 with the knowledge that they have now. Instead, it is what I would do in the shoes of these teams, taking positional value into account. There's some attention paid to glaring needs, but the primary goal was to get the highest-graded and most valuable players based on PFF WAR into the first round.
That means the biggest omissions will come at the running back position in what was a very deep class. Guys like Christian McCaffrey and Alvin Kamara found their way into the first round because they have been that good and impactful for their respective teams, but many talented players didn't make the cut because of the replaceability of the position.
The same can be said for someone like Dalvin Tomlinson, who has graded well for us here at PFF with three consecutive seasons at 75.0 or higher. He's done that through being a run-stuffing specialist, however, and as we know, that just isn't going to give a team as much value as a player who can excel in coverage or get after the quarterback. You want players like Tomlinson on your team, but you don't want to spend premium draft capital to get one.
For that reason, our amended first round is filled with players who affect the passing game in one way or another. Without further ado, the first overall pick is…
© Robert Deutsch-USA TODAY Sports
1. Cleveland Browns: QB Patrick Mahomes
Previous Pick: EDGE Myles Garrett
There is no chance that any other pick makes sense at first overall here. When you get the opportunity to take the best quarterback in the league, one who already has a league MVP and a Super Bowl MVP title at just 24 years old, you take it. Since entering the league, Mahomes has already been worth over seven wins above a replacement-level player, nearly three wins more than the next closest player in the class, despite not starting until his second season. People like to talk about his ability to make big plays outside of structure and rightfully so, but he's even more dangerous when he can sit from a clean pocket and pick apart your defense in rhythm. It's a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation when it comes to defending Mahomes. That's the kind of player you want leading your team.
2. Chicago Bears: QB Deshaun Watson (via trade)
Previous Pick: QB Mitchell Trubisky (via trade)
I kept trades out of this redraft with the exception of this one. The Bears wanted their quarterback of the future in 2017, and they thought Trubisky was that guy when they traded up to second overall to select him. However, Trubisky has since proven that he is not the long-term answer with three consecutive subpar PFF grades as the Bears' starter.
Watson isn't perfect. He still tries to play hero ball too often and forces unnecessary pressure on himself because of it, but he has shown that he can be a borderline MVP candidate when he's on his game, as he was earlier this season before finishing the season as the eighth-highest graded quarterback (82.4 overall grade). Those quarterbacks aren't a dime a dozen, so the Bears trade up again in the hopes of securing theirs. This time they make the right decision.
3. San Francisco 49ers: TE George Kittle (via trade)
Previous Pick: EDGE Solomon Thomas (via trade)
Unfortunately for the 49ers, Kittle isn't going to last until the 146th overall pick anymore. He's made sure of that by recording receiving grades north of 90.0 in each of the past two seasons while also cementing his place as one of the best run-blocking tight ends in the NFL. Luckily, the 49ers can lock him up at third overall instead of Thomas, who has yet to crack a 65.0 overall grade in three seasons with San Francisco. Kittle uses his physicality to be both the best receiver in the league after the catch (8.6 yards after the catch per reception since 2018, first by over a yard) and a menace in the run game as a blocker. He's a rare example of a player whom a team would be happy with taking four rounds earlier.
4. Jacksonville Jaguars: WR Chris Godwin
Previous Pick: RB Leonard Fournette
As sad as it is to see Fournette go, the Jaguars get a massive upgrade in the form of Godwin when it comes to offensive playmakers. The Penn State product has grown his role within the Tampa Bay offense each of his first three years, building up to a massive 1,333-yard, nine-touchdown season in 2019. He ended the year as PFF's highest-graded wide receiver, edging out top names at the position like Michael Thomas and Julio Jones. Ever since entering the league, Godwin has been as sure-handed as they come with a 2.1% drop rate (first among qualifying wide receivers), and he'd give the Jaguars the legitimate No. 1 option that they've missed since the departure of Allen Robinson.
5. Tennessee Titans: S Jamal Adams
Previous Pick: WR Corey Davis
In a turn of events, the Titans edge out Adams' original pick slot by one selection to get the versatile and talented safety out of LSU. Adams spends most of his time causing disruption in the box, but he has also shown the ability to play in the slot, at free safety and even as an edge rusher on the line of scrimmage. He does it all well, too. Adams has recorded overall grades of 88.0 or higher each of the past two seasons. He would be a nice complement to Kevin Byard on the back end of the Titans' defense, forming arguably the best safety tandem in the NFL.
6. New York Jets: EDGE T.J. Watt
Previous Pick: S Jamal Adams
Watt has improved each year in the NFL, culminating in a 2019 season in which he was a legitimate Defensive Player of the Year candidate. Whether it is chasing down a rusher off the backside of the play or beating his blocker off the jump, Watt has a relentless motor. That motor helped him rack up 81 total pressures (fourth in NFL) and 37 combined quarterback hits and sacks (third) this past season. Losing out on a multi-dimensional defensive chess piece like Adams by one pick is a tough blow for New York, but Watt isn't a bad consolation prize by any means. He figures to be one of the top edge defenders in the league for years to come — just like his brother.
7. Los Angeles Chargers: T Ryan Ramczyk
Previous Pick: WR Mike Williams
Over the last three seasons, no tackle in the league has graded higher than Ramczyk. The scary part is that it has come in the first three seasons of his career. The learning curve that some tackles have once they get to the NFL level hasn't existed for Ramczyk, and he was the only tackle with pass-blocking and run-blocking grades above 80.0 in 2019. The Chargers, who have had struggles on the offensive line for a decade, would welcome Ramczyk with open arms to start opposite Russell Okung and hopefully provide them some stability up front. We all know they could use it.
8. Carolina Panthers: CB Tre'Davious White
Previous Pick: RB Christian McCaffrey
Passing on McCaffrey might rub some fans in Charlotte the wrong way, but if given the choice, the Panthers should be taking a shutdown cornerback like White over McCaffrey 10 times out of 10. Since entering the league, White has allowed a passer rating of 59.8, over five points lower than any other cornerback with 150 or more targets over that span. In 2019, he didn't allow a single touchdown pass into his coverage on 568 coverage snaps. Shutting down opposing wide receivers like that is simply more valuable than what McCaffrey is able to do as a ball carrier and as a receiver out of the backfield. Not to mention, it's something that the Panthers could sorely use right now.

9. Cincinnati Bengals: S Marcus Williams
Previous Pick: WR John Ross
A lot of people probably still remember Williams for the play he made — or rather, didn't make — at the end of the Saints' playoff loss to the Minnesota Vikings. That's a shame because Williams has developed into one of the league's best free safeties. His 90.8 overall grade since 2017 ranks sixth at the safety position, and he ranks sixth in the entire 2017 class in PFF WAR over the first three seasons of his career. The Bengals are in a position where they can use all the help that they can get in coverage. Williams would be a massive step in the right direction, and he would be a clear upgrade over their previous pick in this slot, Ross, who has struggled to live up to the hype that accompanied his impressive 40-yard dash.
10. Buffalo Bills: EDGE Myles Garrett
Previous Pick: QB Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs via trade)
Prior to clubbing Mason Rudolph over the head with his own helmet, Garrett was on his way to a career year and a potential finish as the league's highest-graded edge rusher. He has all the physical traits and the pass-rushing repertoire that made him the first overall pick in the draft originally, and he's backed that up with three seasons that graded at 80.0 or higher. Assuming the incident from this season is a blip on the radar and Garrett returns to action all systems go in 2020, he should continue to entrench himself as one of the league's best pass-rushers. He would fit nicely on a Buffalo defense that has since become one of the league's best groups.
11. New Orleans Saints: CB Marshon Lattimore
Previous Pick: CB Marshon Lattimore
As one of two selections in the first round of this redraft that remained the same, the Saints nailed the Lattimore pick. He has been on the decline, dropping from a grade of 87.9 in his rookie season to 77.0 in 2018 to 65.7 in 2019, but he rebounded towards the end of the year to hold his receiver to 50 or fewer receiving yards in 11 consecutive games. It's safe to call him a No. 1 cornerback and one of the better young players at the cornerback position in the NFL. In this scenario, the Saints should have no qualms with going back to Lattimore.
12. Cleveland Browns: WR Kenny Golladay
Previous Pick: QB Deshaun Watson (Texans via trade)
Over the last two seasons, Golladay has emerged as the top option in Detroit's downfield passing game, attacking the ball in contested-catch situations with the league's best. His 43 contested catches since the start of the 2018 season are tied for the most in the NFL with Julio Jones. There are few positions that impact the game at the same level as an elite wide receiver, and while Golladay isn't in that elite tier quite yet, his 2,000-plus receiving yards and 16 touchdowns over the last two seasons have him knocking on the door. The Browns should jump on the opportunity to add a player like that to an already talented offense.
13. Arizona Cardinals: CB Adoree' Jackson
Previous Pick: LB Haason Reddick
If you asked most people to rank White, Lattimore and Jackson, Jackson would come in third more often than not, and that's ultimately where he landed in this redraft. The margins are smaller than most would think, though. Jackson has picked up overall grades of 74.6, 73.0 and 80.0 to open his career, finishing the 2019 season as PFF's eighth-highest graded cornerback thanks to several strong playoff performances. That's the kind of player the Cardinals could desperately use to bolster one of the league's worst coverage units, particularly with Patrick Peterson's uncertain future in Arizona.
14. Philadelphia Eagles: WR JuJu Smith-Schuster
Previous Pick: EDGE Derek Barnett
The attrition that the Eagles suffered at the wide receiver position in 2019 was something to behold. In a similar vein, Smith-Schuster's 2019 season was dampened by a combination of his own injuries and the injury to Ben Roethlisberger, which left the underwhelming duo of Mason Rudolph and Devlin Hodges distributing the ball to him. Prior to this season, JuJu had picked up overall grades of 73.0 and 81.8. He had 1,342 receiving yards from the slot over those two seasons, more than any other wide receiver in the NFL. Those numbers took a hit this season, but he still figures to be a reliable option, one who can get open and create after the catch moving forward. The fit here works out as well because those types of reliable receiving options are the Eagles' biggest need.
15. Indianapolis Colts: CB Desmond King II
Previous Pick: S Malik Hooker
King was fantastic across his first two seasons with overall grades of 85.7 in 2017 and 88.6 in 2018. That fell to 69.4 this past season, but it was still good enough to rank 37th among 114 qualifying cornerbacks. The Chiefs and the 49ers were the two most efficient teams in the NFL when targeting the slot this season, and the fact that those two teams were Super Bowl representatives is no mistake. The best teams in the NFL have gotten good at attacking the slot, so teams have to be able to counter with players who can limit production inside. That's exactly what King provides.

16. Baltimore Ravens: CB Marlon Humphrey
Previous Pick: CB Marlon Humphrey
Another pick, another cornerback. The 2017 draft delivered in the secondary, folks. The Ravens made some splashes this season by adding pieces like Earl Thomas and Marcus Peters to their secondary, but the biggest part of the base that they were adding to was Humphrey. He's been a ballhawk from the cornerback position, forcing 47 incompletions since 2017. That number trails only Stephon Gilmore, Kyle Fuller and Darius Slay at the position over that stretch. There are some interesting players left on the board, but the Ravens should feel comfortable bringing back Humphrey given what he has provided through the first three years of his career.
17. Washington Redskins: S Eddie Jackson
Previous Pick: DI Jonathan Allen
Jackson is the player who probably has the best case to be higher on this list, but it all works out for the Redskins to get Jackson, instead of Allen, at 17th overall. Jackson was a big part of the Bears' stifling defensive display in 2018. He picked up a 93.2 overall grade to go along with a 94.7 grade in coverage. His 14 combined interceptions and pass breakups were easily the most at the safety position, as well. It was a tremendous year, and he's surrounded that with two solid seasons that didn't quite reach the same heights. At best, the Redskins are getting one of the league's top defensive playmakers, and at worst, they're getting a quality starter. That's not a bad spot to be in.
18. Tennessee Titans: WR Cooper Kupp
Previous Pick: CB Adoree' Jackson
Kupp is the third wide receiver to come off the board thanks to three productive seasons with the Los Angeles Rams in which he recorded receiving grades of 75.0 or higher. He's been one of the most efficient wide receivers in the entire league from the slot over that stretch. Since 2017, he has averaged 2.22 receiving yards per route run from the slot. The only two players with 500 or more routes run inside and higher marks in yards per route run are Tyreek Hill (2.48) and Travis Kelce (2.47). There's something to be said for guys who can just get open, and it always seems like Kupp is open. If the Titans wanted to go wide receiver here, he would be the choice over the back-to-the-well option of Corey Davis.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: RB Christian McCaffrey
Previous Pick: TE O.J. Howard
If we're talking purely best players in relation to their position, McCaffrey would be taken higher than 19th overall, but this seems to be a fair landing spot for him when taking value into account. A big part of what gives him a boost is how active he is in the receiving game. Since entering the league in 2017, McCaffrey leads all running backs by a wide margin in receiving first downs or touchdowns, with 135. In fact, he's the only player at the position up over 100. He's a dynamic athlete with the ball in his hands, and it would be fun to see how Bruce Arians would find ways to use him offensively.
20. Denver Broncos: T Dion Dawkins
Previous Pick: T Garett Bolles
The battle for the second-best tackle in the class is pretty close between Dawkins, Taylor Moton and Garett Bolles, but the Broncos opt for Dawkins in the redraft. He has been as reliable as they come in pass protection, recording pass-blocking grades above 75.0 each season of his career to this point. If he's able to get his run-blocking consistently up to the level that we saw in his rookie season when he picked up a run-blocking grade of 78.7, Dawkins could begin to push towards that next tier of tackles around the league.
21. Detroit Lions: S John Johnson III
Previous Pick: LB Jarrad Davis
The Lions' initial decision to select Davis in this slot is not aging well. He's picked up PFF grades of 52.8, 51.0 and 40.4 in his first three seasons while playing a large role in the defense in all three years. The Lions get the opportunity to right that wrong here, however, and they do that with the safety who was originally drafted by the Rams. Johnson had an excellent start to his career in Los Angeles with back-to-back seasons with overall grades and coverage grades of 80.0 or higher to start his career. He didn't grade quite as well in his injury-shortened 2019 campaign, but banking on that being exception rather than the norm would be smart here for the Lions at the 21st overall pick.
22. Miami Dolphins: RB Alvin Kamara
Previous Pick: EDGE Charles Harris
Kamara is the second and final running back to crack the first round of this redraft, and he's able to do so because of how effective he has been as a receiver. And not just a receiver out of the backfield — a receiver in the slot and out wide. Over the last three seasons, Kamara leads all running backs in receiving yards (650) and receptions of 15 or more yards (15) when lined up as a wide receiver. He can win in the passing game past the line of scrimmage, he's forced more missed tackles than any other running back in the league and he's also an effective runner. The 2019 season was a down year for the Tennessee product, but when he's healthy, he's one of the most dynamic running backs in the NFL.
23. New York Giants: S Malik Hooker
Previous Pick: TE Evan Engram
Hooker has played his role of centerfielder in the Colts' zone defense well to this point in his career. He's been credited with 11 combined interceptions and pass breakups compared to just 21 receptions allowed. The infrequency of passes targeting Hooker as the primary coverage defender plays into that, but he's also shown a knack for making instinctive plays deep. That skill set is something that the Giants could make use of in their secondary.

24. Oakland Raiders: WR Mike Williams
Previous Pick: CB Gareon Conley
The wide receiver position didn't go according to plan for the Raiders this offseason after trading for Antonio Brown and signing Tyrell Williams in free agency. However, they have a chance to add again to the position here with a downfield threat in Mike Williams. He had a rough rookie season that never really got a chance to develop fully thanks to injuries, but he has rebounded with two strong showings, posting an overall grade of 80.5 in 2018 and a grade of 74.1 this past season.
The Chargers have primarily attacked vertically with Williams. Among all wide receivers with 100 or more targets over the last two seasons, he ranks first in average depth of target, at 17.1 yards, and his 31 contested catches are tied for the sixth-most in the NFL with Mike Evans. Williams would provide a downfield, jump-ball weapon for Derek Carr and an improved Raiders' offense.
25. Houston Texans: CB Chidobe Awuzie
Previous Pick: S Jabrill Peppers (Browns via trade)
The Texans' biggest area of need right now is help in the secondary, and Awuzie is the cornerback left on the board with the best track record over a three-year span. He's been solid in coverage for the Cowboys the past two years, with coverage grades of 65.4 and 70.5 to go along with an allowed completion rate of 62.5%. Those aren't spectacular numbers, but they also aren't going to kill your team. Looking at the players left on the board and the sort of value that a player like Awuzie has brought to the table, it makes sense for him to go here to a team that could use him.
26. Seattle Seahawks: T Taylor Moton
Previous Pick: EDGE Takkarist McKinley (Falcons via trade)
The only consistently productive member of the Seahawks' offensive line in recent seasons has been Duane Brown. Moton would give Brown an eventual bookend, which in turn presents the Seahawks with two reliable offensive linemen at the tackle position. Moton didn't earn a starting role until his second season, but he has made the most of his two years as the Panthers' starting right tackle. His strength has been as a pass protector where he has earned grades of 82.7 and 79.1 in the last two years. His addition would save Russell Wilson from having to do so much freelancing in the pocket, something he was seemingly doing on every other down this past season.
27. Kansas City Chiefs: LB Jayon Brown
Previous Pick: CB Tre'Davious White (Bills via trade)
Brown is the first and only off-ball linebacker to come off the board in this redraft of the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft. It's tough to tell exactly what Brown is at this point in his career, but there is some upside there for Kansas City. He turned in a subpar rookie performance at 54.1 overall before really rebounding in 2018 with an overall grade of 81.6 and a coverage grade of 84.6. His 2019 effort was a combination of the good and the bad, as Brown evened out to a 68.8 overall grade across 892 defensive snaps, but the upside he flashed in 2018, particularly in coverage, is intriguing for Brown moving forward.
28. Dallas Cowboys: S Xavier Woods
Previous Pick: EDGE Taco Charlton
Woods finds a home again with the Cowboys, only this time it comes as a first-round pick rather than a sixth-round selection. The three-year man out of Louisiana Tech is coming off the best season of his career in coverage, as he earned a 78.0 coverage grade in 2019. Woods has been solid as the Cowboys' free safety each of the past two years, and providing average to above-average play at safety like Woods has is inherently valuable to a defense. Rather than wasting away a pick with Charlton, the Cowboys secure their safety several rounds earlier.
29. Green Bay Packers: CB Shaquill Griffin
Previous Pick: TE David Njoku (Browns via trade)
Griffin is one of the more interesting players to crack the first round because this is primarily based on an excellent 2019 season where Griffin ranked 10th among 114 qualifying cornerbacks in overall grade and third at the position in forced incompletion rate. Prior to that breakout, Griffin had his fair share of troubles in the Seahawks' secondary, recording overall grades of 65.3 as a rookie and 50.7 in his second season in 2018. Was 2019 truly a breakout or was it an outlier before a return to the level of play seen the previous two years? The Packers are willing to bet on the former here at 29.
30. Pittsburgh Steelers: TE Evan Engram
Previous Pick: EDGE T.J. Watt
Ever since Heath Miller retired, the Steelers have been searching for a tight end who can add something in the passing game. At various points, they thought they had that in guys like Jesse James, Ladarius Green and Vance McDonald, but none of those options have stuck, so they're going after another one in Engram. Engram has dealt with injuries each of the last two years that have held down his production, but when healthy, he possesses a unique skill set at the tight end position that gives opposing defenses problems. His 1.71 yards per route run over the past two seasons ranks eighth among qualifying tight ends — he would add a new element to the Steelers' offense from the tight end position.
31. Atlanta Falcons: CB Kenny Moore II
Previous Pick: LB Reuben Foster (49ers via trade)
The Falcons need some help in the secondary this offseason, particularly in the slot where they ranked 28th among all defenses in PFF coverage grade. That's an area that Moore could step in and immediately upgrade, as he has been solid there for the Colts over the last two seasons. Moore earned an overall grade of 69.1 in 2018 and 75.6 this past season in Indianapolis, playing primarily in the slot but also splitting outside on occasion. His run defense grades of 79.4 and 86.2 in those seasons indicate that he's not afraid to mix it up on the perimeter, either.
32. New Orleans Saints: S Marcus Maye
Previous Pick: T Ryan Ramczyk
The first round closes out with Maye coming off the board. I know, not quite exciting as Ramczyk, but Maye deserves the first-round nod after a strong injury-shortened showing in 2018 and a continuation of that play in a full season of action this past season. In 2019, Maye intercepted or broke up seven passes while allowing just nine receptions as the primary coverage defender. That resulted in a coverage grade of 77.4 for the former second-round pick. Like many of the players making their way into the first round, his career looks to be on the upswing.
