Commanders Take Quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis with Pick No. 223

Saturday, April 25, 2:34 PM

The Washington Commanders have selected Rutgers quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis with the 223rd overall pick in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Kaliakmanis spent two years at Rutgers after two seasons with Minnesota, and he showed improvement year over year. He completed more than 60% of his passes for the first time in 2025, setting career highs in passing yards and touchdowns. Kaliakmanis has NFL size at 6'2" and 216 pounds, and his improved processing could help him stick on the Commanders roster as a third quarterback behind Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota.

Ravens Noncommital on Diego Pavia's Future with Team

Sunday, May 3, 5:30 AM

Former Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia recently signed a three-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens after going undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft, and with the team wrapping up rookie minicamp, new head coach Jesse Minter offered very little on the Heisman Trophy runner-up. Minter told reporters on Saturday, "He's in the door and it's like, 'Show us what you can do,'" adding, "And just like all the undrafted rookies, that's what I would say." With Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley firmly entrenched atop the depth chart. Pavia is competing with fellow undrafted free agent Joe Fagnano out of Connecticut for a third quarterback spot. At RotoBaller's dynasty QB51, Pavia is unlikely to ever become a meaningful fantasy contributor, but in such a shallow draft class, his playmaking upside makes him at least worth a dart throw in the final round of dynasty rookie drafts.
