NFL\u00a0 DRAFT…<\/p>\n
\u00a0CHICAGO (AP) – The NFL draft opens this evening in Chicago with two quarterbacks expected to be the top picks.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 After a pair of blockbuster trades to move the now-Los Angeles Rams and the Philadelphia Eagles to the top of the draft, Jared Goff of California and Carson Wentz of North Dakota State are expected to be the first names off the board.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Goff says he’s “excited for whatever happens.” The 6-foot-4 Goff started every game during his three seasons at California and is the son of former major league catcher Jerry Goff.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The 6-5 Wentz led North Dakota State to its fifth consecutive FCS title last season. He passed for 1,651 yards and 17 touchdowns during his senior year that was shortened by a wrist injury.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 After Goff and Wentz go in the top two spots, the real drama begins at Number 3 with the San Diego Chargers.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mississippi offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil, Florida State defensive back Jalen Ramsey, and Ohio State stars Joey Bosa and Ezekiel Elliott likely will be among the next group of players to be picked.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jamestown native Darin Erstad was the No. 1 pick in the 1995 Major League Baseball draft, and says he’ll be watching on T.V. tonight.<\/p>\n
Erstad is head coach of the University of Nebraska baseball team, currently on a road trip.<\/p>\n

Manziel…<\/p>\n
DALLAS (AP) – A Dallas judge set a $1,500 bond for former Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel (man-ZEHL’) in his misdemeanor domestic assault case. Manziel’s attorney says his client is expected to turn himself in for booking next week, though no date has been set. The Heisman Trophy winner and former Texas A&M star was indicted by a grand jury this week after his ex-girlfriend alleged he hit her and threatened to kill her during a night out in January.<\/p>\n

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) – Another embarrassing failure for North Korea. South Korea’s Defense Ministry says the North launched a powerful intermediate-range missile today, but it crashed moments after liftoff. If confirmed, it would be the second such failure in recent weeks.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MILAN (AP) – Italian prosecutors say a Moroccan-born man living in Italy was ordered to carry out terror attacks, focusing especially on Rome. Prosecutors say that investigators intercepted communication between the man and a fighter with the Islamic State group. They say there’s no indication any attacks were imminent. Authorities say as part of the investigation they issued six arrest warrants, including for a couple planning to leave Italy for Islamic State territory with their two young children.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 VIENNA (AP) – U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon says increasing restrictions on safe havens for refugees in Europe will tarnish commitments to international law. Ban was speaking today to Austria’s lower house of parliament. Lawmakers in the upper house plan today to vote on a law that would allow authorities to stop accepting asylum requests at borders if they think it’s necessary to “maintain public order.”

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – Is it a move by a desperate man? Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz has named Carly Fiorina as his running mate. Cruz made the announcement yesterday, even though he’s mathematically unable to become the GOP nominee through the regular voting process. GOP front-runner Donald Trump mocked Cruz, saying he’s “the first presidential candidate in the history of this country who’s mathematically eliminated from becoming president who chose a vice presidential candidate.”

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BANGKOK (AP) – Police in Thailand say they’ve arrested four people in the savage attack on an older British couple and their grown son. The attack happened on a crowded street April 13, during Thai New Year celebrations. The couple in their 60s, and their 43-year-old son, were repeatedly punched and stomped in the face, rendering them unconscious. Surveillance video shows the attack.
