The 2017 NFL draft is in the rear-view mirror, and the AFC West added tons of promising young talent on both sides of the ball. The Los Angeles Chargers spent their top-10 pick on a potential No. 1 receiver as insurance for the oft-injured Keenan Allen, while the Denver Broncos found an upgrade at left tackle to protect their young quarterback. The Kansas City Chiefs made a big trade to land their quarterback of the future, but gave up next year’s first-round pick in the process. The Oakland Raiders also took a huge risk with their top selection, but in the form of a talented corner facing some serious off-field allegations.

BALTIMORE — Royal Mo broke a bone in his front right leg Sunday while training at Pimlico Race Course and will miss the Preakness Stakes. Veteran jockey Gary Stevens had flown in to guide his Preakness mount through his final major workout, and said the colt was running fine until he heard a pop nearing the quarter pole. Stevens pulled Royal Mo up and jumped down to hold the injured leg while waiting for help. Royal Mo was driven to his stall and X-rays revealed a broken right front sesamoid. “There isn’t any other damage, so that’s a very good thing for him for his life after racing,” trainer John Shirreffs said. The colt was taken to the University of Pennsylvania’s New Bolton Center for treatment.
Dallas is looking for stability with its high draft pick, while Detroit is locked in to a very expensive situation.
