The Latest on the NFL draft Saturday (all times local):
6:15 p.m.
”Mr. Irrelevant” 2018 is SMU receiver Trey Quinn.
Quinn was the final player selected in the three-day NFL draft Corey Linsley Jersey , No. 256 overall by the Washington Redskins.
After playing his first two seasons at LSU, the 6-foot, 202-pound Quinn transferred to SMU where he had to sit out a season.
As a junior last year with the Mustangs, Quinn had 114 catches for 1,236 yards and 13 touchdowns. Quinn led the nation with 114 receptions and 8.8 per game. His 114 receptions are the most in a single season at SMU.
He also threw a no-hitter in the opening round of the 2008 Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa., for South Lake Charles, La.
He opted to bypass his senior season for early entry in the NFL draft, as did his SMU teammate Courtland Sutton, also a receiver.
Sutton, who had 68 catches for 1,085 yards and 12 TDs, was the 40th overall pick, in the second round by Denver.

The Dallas Cowboys have acquired defensive lineman Jihad Ward from Oakland for receiver and kick returner Ryan Switzer.
It’s the second trade of the day for the Cowboys involving a receiver http://www.chicagobearsteamonline.com/markus-wheaton-jersey , this time with one leaving instead of coming in. Dallas got Tavon Austin, the eighth overall pick in 2013, from the Los Angeles Rams for a sixth-round pick.
Ward was a healthy scratch most of last season, playing five games despite being a second-round pick in 2016. He had his only career sack in 2017. Ward has played both end and tackle on the defensive line.
Switzer was a fourth-round pick last year with the idea that he would become the primary kick returner. The highlight of his rookie season was an 83-yard punt return for a touchdown in a win over Washington.
The trade reunites Switzer with special teams coach Rich Bisaccia, who left the Cowboys for the same job on new Raiders coach Jon Gruden’s staff.

The Eagles traded up in the seventh round to select Australian rugby player Jordan Mailata with pick No. 233. Mailata, 6-foot-7, 346 pounds, is projected as an offensive tackle. He visited eight teams, including Philadelphia, and spent a lot of time with offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland.
The Eagles gave the New England Patriots pick No. 250 and a seventh-rounder next year to move up 17 spots.

The Chiefs should have been quite familiar with their final selection in this year’s NFL draft.
His dad calls the shots for their biggest rival.
The Chiefs traded up in the sixth round Saturday to select defensive tackle Kahlil McKenzie out of Tennessee. His father is longtime NFL linebacker and current Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie, whose team has become one of the Chiefs’ biggest obstacles in the AFC West.
Chiefs area scout Pat Perduto laughed when asked whether he spent much time talking to the prospect’s pop Morgan Moses Jersey , then conceded there was a chuckle in the draft room when the call was made.
The Chiefs actually view the 330-pound youngster as a potential guard.

Luke Falk patterns not just his game but the way he lives his life after Tom Brady.
Same diet and recovery habits. The Washington State quarterback now has another thing in common with the Patriots quarterback: Falk was also taken with the 199th pick of the draft.
Falk put up huge numbers in Washington State’s spread offense under coach Mike Leach and left school as the Pac-12 record holder in total offense, passing touchdowns, passing yards, completions, and attempts.

The Dallas Cowboys had five Super Bowl championship trophies to show off while hosting the NFL draft. They were all on display in a corner at the NFL Draft Experience outside of AT&T Stadium.
Maybe that location off the beaten path was appropriate since it has been a long time since their most recent one.
The Cowboys won the Lombardi Trophy during the 1995 season, which was their third in four years with the Hall of Fame trio of quarterback Troy Aikman, running back Emmitt Smith and receiver Michael Irvin.
The New England Patriots and San Francisco 49ers are also five-time champions. The Patriots have won all of their Super Bowl titles since 2001, long after the last of the championships by the Cowboys.
Only the Pittsburgh Steelers have more Super Bowl titles. They won their sixth Lombardi Trophy during the 2008 season, two years before going back to the Super Bowl and losing to the Green Bay Packers at AT&T Stadium, the home of the Cowboys.

No punting away these picks.
Three punters were selected in the fifth round of the NFL draft, including consecutive picks late in the round. It is the first time since 1988 that three punters were taken in the first five rounds.
On Saturday, Michael Dickson, the Australian from the University of Texas, was picked 149th overall by Seattle. Alabama punter JK Scott was drafted 172nd overall by Green Bay Javorius Allen Jersey , a pick before Oakland took Johnny Townsend from Florida. Townsend was the NCAA leader last season with a 47.5-yard average on his 64 punts.
In 1988, there were three punters selected in the first 102 picks. Tom Tupa, who also went 4-9 as a starting quarterback during Linebacker Rashaan Evans couldn't be happier after the Tennessee Titans drafted him with the No. 22 pick, a selection predicted by his friend Derrick Henry.
The former Alabama teammates had discussed how much they wanted to play together in the NFL. Henry, a Heisman Trophy winner at Alabama in 2015, called Evans once the pick was in.
"Everything worked out as we talked about," Evans said.
New Titans head coach Mike Vrabel got an inside linebacker for his first draft selection, even trading up three spots with Baltimore to nab Evans.
Vrabel, a former linebacker himself who played 14 NFL seasons, has been spending plenty of time with the Titans' linebackers already. Evans now is in position to replace Avery Williamson, who left in free agency for the New York Jets after starting 59 of 63 games with Tennessee.
The Titans see Evans giving them flexibility with his instincts, speed and power. Vrabel noted Evans started as a defensive end at Alabama before developing into an inside linebacker.
"You see a lot of those instincts in the run game and obviously ... the versatility to play at the line of scrimmage and do some things to allow us to be multiple," Vrabel said.
The Titans went into the draft Thursday night slotted at No. 25, which would have been their latest first-round pick since 2009 when they selected wide receiver Kenny Britt at No. 30. They moved up even higher http://www.officialislanders.com/authentic-adidas-adam-pelech-jersey , swapping first-round slots with the Ravens along with their fourth-round pick at No. 125 for Baltimore's selection at No. 215.
Tennessee is coming off consecutive 9-7 seasons and its first playoff appearance in 14 years. That wasn't enough to keep Mike Mularkey on the jo b, and the Titans replaced him with Vrabel .
General manager Jon Robinson added linebacker Will Compton in free agency. But the Titans needed more help alongside veteran Wesley Woodyard. Robinson said they were impressed by Evans' leadership and how other Alabama players reacted around the linebacker during a meeting after his pro day.
"He kind of had an old soul feel about him," Robinson said. "A guy that really loves football loves sitting there watching the film and talking through the responsibilities that he had, the front had and that the DBs had."
The 6-foot-3, 234-pound Evans was first-team All-Southeastern Conference as a senior, and he finished his career with 152 tackles and 15 sacks. But Evans did not run the 40-yard dash at the NFL combine or at Alabama's pro day, listening to a doctor's advice to protect himself from a nagging groin injury.
The linebacker says he's completely healthy now. Evans, who grew up testing himself alongside his brother by racing horses on their family farm in Auburn, Alabama, insists he's plenty fast.
"It's funny that people question my speed," Evans said on a conference call. "I'm like, if I can catch a horse, there's no reason for you to question the speed."
Evans joins a defense that ranked 25th against the pass last season giving up 239.3 yards per game and 17th giving up 22.3 points a game under coordinator Dick LeBeau. Vrabel brought in Dean Pees to run his defense as coordinator after the veteran coach had retired from the same position with Baltimore.
This is a rare first-round pick on defense for the Titans.
Robinson took cornerback Adoree Jackson at No. 18 overall last year after making wide receiver Corey Davis the team's first pick at No. 5 overall. Evans is the first defensive player taken with Tennessee's first overall pick since linebacker Derrick Morgan was selected at No. 16 in 2010 and the first inside linebacker since Keith Bulluck in 2000.
