The Minnesota Vikings took Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy with the 10th overall pick in the NFL draft on Thursday night, moving up one spot in a trade with the New York Jets to make sure they didn't miss out on their most dire need. The departure of Kirk Cousins in free agency to Atlanta left a gaping hole — and an opportunity that Vikings leadership has been strategizing about for two-plus years. McCarthy went 27-1 as a college starter and won last season's national championship with Michigan, a defense-driven and run-first team that raised questions about the 6-foot-2, 219-pound passer’s potential.

Franz Wagner finished with 16 points and eight assists for the Magic, who led by 43 points in the fourth quarter on the way to the third-largest margin of victory in a playoff game. Jarrett Allen had 15 points and eight rebounds for the Cavaliers, who shot 39% from the field and 23.5% from 3-point range.
