Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:56:14 GMT

A week before his first draft as an NFL general manager, George Paton’s phone rang more than he picked up and dialed.Holding the No. 9 selection, Paton knew several teams would be taking quarterbacks early. He said as much in his pre-draft news conference, speculating as many as five could go in the top 10.“It’s very strong. Kind of depends on what flavor you want,” he said of the group a week before Trevor Lawrence went No. 1 overall to Jacksonville. “But there could be five, maybe six drafted in the first round.”One of the teams trying to move up: Chicago. General manager Ryan Pace held the 20th pick but knew he’d have to jump up the board if he wanted to land one of the quintet of quarterbacks.Paton, though, wasn’t inclined to be the one to move back. At least not that far.

Denver’s relocation of residents of a Capitol Hill homeless encampment ahead of a cleanup this week resulted in 83 people moving into rooms at an undisclosed hotel, Mayor Mike Johnston said Thursday.He saw Monday’s relocation effort, which he dubbed as the city’s first successful encampment “closure,” as a demonstration that his administration was on the right path, he said during a news conference. Past sweeps or cleanups usually have resulted in the people living there simply relocating to another public place nearby.The new mayor has invested significant city staff time and $49 million in city housing funding this year into his push to get 1,000 unhoused people into some form of more stable housing or shelter by the end of the year.The first test happened across the street from the Colorado governor’s mansion at East Eighth Avenue and Logan Street, ahead of a cleanup of the camp on Tuesday.
