I'm Dane Brugler.
I cover the NFL draft for The Athletic.
Our draft guide picked up the name The Beast because of the crazy amount of information that's included.
I'm looking at thousands of players putting together hundreds of scouting reports.
I've been covering this year's draft since last year's draft.
There is a lot in The Beast that you simply can't find anywhere else.
This is the kind of in-depth, unique journalism you get from The Athletic and The New York Times.

From The New York Times, it's the headlines.
I'm Tracy Mumford.
Today's Thursday, April 16th.
Here's what we're covering.
Is this war over?
I think it's close to over, yeah.
I mean, I view it as very close to over.
Over the course of 12 hours this week, President Trump promised the war with Iran was ending soon.
He doubled down on his fight with the Pope on social media.
He threatened to fire the chair of the Federal Reserve.
And he posted an image of himself receiving a hug from Jesus Christ, which was not his first Jesus meme of the week.
On top of that, the White House revealed new renderings for the giant arch Trump wants to build outside of D.C.
