Getting it all wrong at Georgia Public Broadcasting
Last Friday Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB), the ONLY television and radio entity serving all of Georgia, announced it is cancelling its most popular in-house produced program, Political Rewind on June 30th. The show, nearing its 10th anniversary, grew from a once-a-week program on Friday afternoons to five days a week at 9:00 a.m., with a rebroadcast at 2:00 p.m., a podcast, and a…

Virtual Real-Estate Closings Go Mainstream, but Some States Hold Out
With more of our lives moving online each day, many states have now shifted to allowing real-estate closings to take place remotely. While mortgage lenders would like to see all states make this switch, lawmakers still have some reservations. 43 states have passed laws that enable remote online notarization, which is the foundation of virtual closings. This number is up from 22 at the beginning of the pandemic, as stated by the National Notary Association. However, there are still 7 states—including California, Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, and South Carolina—that haven't enacted such legislation yet. Although bills are close to becoming law in Delaware.
Traveling Notary in California will possibly become remote if the bill will become a Law
Rather than meet in person, all parties involved in a remote closing videoconference with each other to verify identities and sign documents electronically. With the housing market beginning to stall, mortgage lenders are turning to new technology-based processes, such as virtual closings. “It’s really not a technology limitation; we’ve got all the tech now where you can do a fully digital close. It’s really the legal innovation that needs to happen,” said Brian Woodring, chief information officer of Detroit-based Rocket Mortgage LLC.
California Notary Online
California lawmakers are working to pass legislation that would allow remote online notary public . A bill passed the state Assembly this year, but a few key points are holding up its progress in the state Senate. Several provisions in the bill, including one that would make out-of-state notaries subject to California's regulations when performing notarizations for state residents, had caused concerns among stakeholders, said Republican Frank Bigelow who opposed the bill earlier this year. “While remote online notarizations of documents could benefit California consumers, unfortunately, there were several unresolved issues with the measure,” Mr. Bigelow said. The California Association of Realtors and the California Land Title Association wrote a letter to members of the state assembly, claiming that a provision concerning out-of-state notaries went against "the long-standing doctrine of interstate recognition" established in the Constitution. Furthermore, other groups opposed a bill clause that they believed would make it too easy for anyone to use an online notarization platform. “There have been several attempts to come up with some compromise in language that would appease both sides, but right now we’re in a holding pattern until we can come up with something,” said Assemblymember Reggie Jones-Sawyer, a Democrat who introduced the bill. In Georgia, state Rep. Joseph Gullett has sponsored two bills that would legalize remote online notarization. However, both of these pieces of legislation have stalled in the process. According to Mr. Gullett, Georgia's requirement for a closing attorney to be physically present during real estate closings has impeded the legalization of remote online notarization. Lawyers local to the area are concerned that large real-estate companies might come in and control every part of the closing process, from start to finish, without involving anyone from Georgia. In 2021, while the bill was on the floor of the state Senate, Republican Blake Tillery spoke out against it. When he was questioned about it, Tillery acknowledged that he is a closing attorney but stated that he didn't believe there to be any conflict of interest. He has not responded to requests for comment as of yet. Another lawmaker who voted to table the bill, Democratic state Sen. Elena Parent, said, “I felt that there was more to learn about the issue and tabling gave the proponents and opponents time to work on a potential compromise." Although it's not as common, fraud can still occur in remote real estate transactions. In fact, there has already been at least one case where fraudulent behavior happened during an electronic closing.

2019 NFL Draft: Ranking top 10 prospects at each position
The 2019 NFL Draft is just around the corner, and the buildup among Chicago Bears fans has been relatively lackluster.
Granted, this was to be expected, as the team does not have a pick within the first 85 selections of the draft. Without the chance to grab some of the top talents in the class, interest has naturally dwindled a bit. However, this year’s class is still loaded with potential starters at several positions, and with the Bears’ recent success in later rounds, chances are they’ll be able to find a few diamonds in the rough.
Chicago has five selections, with two in the seventh round and none in the first, second or sixth rounds. Their roster is one of the most complete in the league, so there are very few glaring holes they need to fill. This will allow them to stock up on talent that contribute down the line when they will inevitably have to let a few lesser starters walk in free agency to retain their core players.
Because I’m a loser without a life, I have been breaking down film of this year’s class since late April—two days after the 2018 draft ended, in fact. My board has predictably changed a lot since the beginning of my process, but it is now almost done solidifying and taking shape as we get closer to the draft. I will give a glimpse of my overall rankings once I put the finishing touches on a few late-round targets, but my top 10 at each position is essentially set in stone at this point.
With that in mind, these are my top 10 positional rankings for this year’s draft.
Quarterbacks
1. Kyler Murray, Oklahoma
2. Dwayne Haskins, Ohio State
3. Drew Lock, Missouri
4. Tyree Jackson, Buffalo
5. Daniel Jones, Duke
6. Ryan Finley, North Carolina State
7. Will Grier, West Virginia
8. Brett Rypien, Boise State
9. Easton Stick, North Dakota State
10. Gardner Minshew II, Washington State
The Bears won’t be in the market for a quarterback this year, which is a good thing, since this year’s class is generally uninspiring. I don’t have a first-round grade on any quarterback in this group, but Kyler Murray does carry a solid second-round grade. I’m generally higher on Tyree Jackson than most, and I do realize that he’s a work in progress whose mechanics and release quickness need some work. With his size, arm strength and surprising athleticism, his ceiling is higher than any other signal-caller in this class.
Running backs
1. Josh Jacobs, Alabama
2. David Montgomery, Iowa State
3. Miles Sanders, Penn State
4. Damien Harris, Alabama
5. Darrell Henderson, Memphis
6. Devin Singletary, Florida Atlantic
7. Bruce Anderson, North Dakota State
8. Devine Ozigbo, Nebraska
9. Justice Hill, Oklahoma State
10. Trayveon Williams, Texas A&M
The 2019 draft doesn’t have a running back of the caliber of a Saquon Barkley or an Ezekiel Elliott, but it does have dozens of players who have the potential to step in and be reliable contributors. Of these prospects, Miles Sanders is my personal top choice for the Bears, but he will not be available for their third-round pick unless they trade up. Keep an eye on Trayveon Williams, a well-rounded runner with receiving value whom the Bears have met with at the Combine, his Pro Day and a private meeting.
Wide receivers
1. D.K. Metcalf, Ole Miss
2. N’Keal Harry, Arizona State
3. Hakeem Butler, Iowa State
4. Kelvin Harmon, North Carolina State
5. Marquise Brown, Oklahoma
6. A.J. Brown, Ole Miss
7. Riley Ridley, Georgia
8. Deebo Samuel, South Carolina
9. Parris Campbell, Ohio State
10. J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, Stanford
Last year’s class boasted a lot of talented wide receivers, but this year’s group may be even better. D.K. Metcalf and N’Keal Harry both carry first-round grades for me, while Hakeem Butler brings up a legitimate argument for having the highest ceiling in the class. There are still several talented weapons who didn’t crack the list, and I could see more than 20 prospects realistically going within the first five rounds. I expect all of these receivers to be off the board by the time the Bears pick, even though it’s highly unlikely they would pick a wide receiver in the third round, anyway.
Tight ends
1. T.J. Hockenson, Iowa
2. Noah Fant, Iowa
3. Kahale Warring, San Diego State
4. Irv Smith Jr., Alabama
5. Jace Sternberger, Texas A&M
6. Josh Oliver, San Jose State
7. Dawson Knox, Ole Miss
8. Foster Moreau, LSU
9. Dax Raymond, Utah State
10. Alize Mack, Notre Dame
The dynamic Hawkeye duo of T.J. Hockenson and Noah Fant predictably tops this list, and both of them are first-round talents with Pro Bowl ceilings. I’m admittedly not as high on the depth of this class as most draftniks, but there are a handful of players in these rankings with starting potential. The big surprise in these rankings is my placing Kahale Warring over Irv Smith Jr., the latter of whom having been deemed a potential first-round riser. While Warring is raw, he has the size, athleticism and ball skills of an elite tight end prospect, and his upside is arguably up there with the likes of Hockenson and Fant.
Offensive tackles
1. Jonah Williams, Alabama
2. Jawaan Taylor, Florida
3. Greg Little, Ole Miss
4. Andre Dillard, Washington State
5. Yodny Cajuste, West Virginia
6. Michael Deiter, Wisconsin
7. Isaiah Prince, Ohio State
8. Tytus Howard, Alabama State
9. Kaleb McGary, Washington
10. David Edwards, Wisconsin
Some consider Jonah Williams to be a guard at the next level, which is a move I could realistically see him making. However, I see him as a tackle, and the best one in the class, at that. Jawaan Taylor and Andre Dillard will likely be selected in the first round, and though I don’t necessarily agree with either being picked that high, the upside in the two is palpable. Keep an eye out for Tytus Howard, as he’s an athletic and nimble small-school lineman who could be a steal early on Day 3. The Bears don’t really need an offensive tackle this year, but they could consider adding a swing tackle or a potential replacement for Bobby Massie in a few years if the value is right.
Interior offensive linemen
1. Cody Ford, Oklahoma
2. Dalton Risner, Kansas State
3. Garrett Bradbury, North Carolina State
4. Connor McGovern, Penn State
5. Ben Powers, Oklahoma
6. Erik McCoy, Texas A&M
7. Chris Lindstrom, Boston College
8. Ross Pierschbacher, Alabama
9. Dru Samia, Oklahoma
10. Michael Jordan, Ohio State
The Bears are essentially set along the offensive line for this year, unless they try to pick Kyle Long’s heir apparent in this year’s class, which is unlikely. Nevertheless, this year’s interior offensive line class is a good one, headlined by my top three players, all of whom I would pound the table for in the first round if I were running an offensive line-needy team. Part of me wants the Bears to draft Michael Jordan just for the jokes.
Defensive linemen
1. Quinnen Williams, Alabama
2. Ed Oliver, Houston
3. Jerry Tillery, Notre Dame
4. Jeffery Simmons, Mississippi State
5. Christian Wilkins, Clemson
6. Charles Omenihu, Texas
7. Dexter Lawrence, Clemson
8. Dre’Mont Jones, Ohio State
9. Khalen Saunders, Western Illinois
10. Zach Allen, Boston College
Boy oh boy, does this class have some defensive line talent or what? Quinnen Williams is No. 2 overall on my board, Ed Oliver is a rare athlete for his position, and the likes of Jerry Tillery and Jeffery Simmons are both intriguing prospects with pass-rushing upside. I’m very high on Khalen Saunders, a stout and athletic lineman with quick hands who terrorized FCS offensive lines. Chicago has a reliable trio at defensive line with Akiem Hicks, Eddie Goldman and Bilal Nichols, so don’t expect them to target a player at the position until very late in the draft, if at all.
Edge rushers
1. Nick Bosa, Ohio State
2. Josh Allen, Kentucky
3. Clelin Ferrell, Clemson
4. Rashan Gary, Michigan
5. Montez Sweat, Mississippi State
6. Brian Burns, Florida State
7. Oshane Ximines, Old Dominion
8. Chase Winovich, Michigan
9. Jachai Polite, Florida
10. Christian Miller, Alabama
Edge rushers are the most important players on the defensive side of the ball, which makes NFL teams especially lucky that this year’s draft is loaded at the position. Nick Bosa is my top overall prospect, as his blend of size, strength, athleticism and hand usage makes him a possible perennial Pro Bowl talent. Josh Allen is also in my top five, while the rest of my top six will likely all see themselves selected in the first round. The true wild card of the bunch is Jachai Polite, a first-round talent with poor testing numbers, weight fluctuation concerns and horrible Combine interviews. With Aaron Lynch in the fold again, the Bears might not draft an edge rusher in the third round, but adding some form of depth is likely.
Linebackers
1. Devin White, LSU
2. Mack Wilson, Alabama
3. Devin Bush, Michigan
4. Cameron Smith, USC
5. Joe Giles-Harris, Duke
6. Terrill Hanks, New Mexico State
7. Te’Von Coney, Notre Dame
8. Blake Cashman, Minnesota
9. Vosean Joseph, Florida
10. T.J. Edwards, Wisconsin
The Bears are essentially set at inside linebacker with Roquan Smith and Danny Trevathan, and after drafting Joel Iyiegbuniwe in the fourth round of last year’s draft, they don’t appear to be in the market for one this year. That’s a relief, as this year’s class is pretty thin at the position. Devin White is on a similar tier as Smith as a prospect, as his athleticism and reliability as a tackler could see him selected in the top 10. Mack Wilson and Devin Bush could also be selected within the first two rounds, but the talent drops off after those three. Blake Cashman is an intriguing sleeper who tested well at the Combine, though.
Safeties
1. Nasir Adderley, Delaware
2. Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, Florida
3. Amani Hooker, Iowa
4. Juan Thornhill, Virginia
5. Darnell Savage Jr., Maryland
6. Taylor Rapp, Washington
7. Jaquan Johnson, Miami (FL)
8. Deionte Thompson, Alabama
9. Marvell Tell III, USC
10. Johnathan Abram, Mississippi State
The Bears replaced Adrian Amos with Ha Ha Clinton-Dix in free agency, and while Clinton-Dix could be a bounce-back candidate with the help of an elite Chicago defense, he’s still only on a one-year deal. Assuming the plan is for him to cash in on a long-term deal elsewhere next offseason, the Bears could look to draft a safety early this year. Of this bunch, my personal favorite is Amani Hooker. He’s an instinctive safety who can jump routes, read quarterbacks and consistently get to the right place to tackle ball carriers. Darnell Savage Jr. is an athletic and versatile safety who would fit their system well, while the likes of Taylor Rapp, Jaquan Johnson and Johnathan Abram fit the strong safety mold.
Cornerbacks
1. Greedy Williams, LSU
2. Byron Murphy, Washington
3. Julian Love, Notre Dame
4. DeAndre Baker, Georgia
5. Amani Oruwariye, Penn State
6. Trayvon Mullen, Clemson
7. Rock Ya-Sin, Temple
8. Justin Layne, Michigan State
9. Isaiah Johnson, Houston
10. David Long, Michigan
While not an incredibly deep class, the 2019 draft has its fair share of intriguing cornerback prospects. Greedy Williams is a lengthy, fast and fluid corner who is essentially a complete prospect at the position, save for tackling and play strength. Byron Murphy and Julian Love both belong in first-round discussion, as well, as they are very smart defensive backs who can attack the ball at a high level. The Bears could look more for a future replacement for Prince Amukamara as a press-man corner than an off-man or nickel corner, though the latter isn’t out of the question. That said, Rock Ya-Sin is a physical player who excels in press-man, while Justin Layne and Isaiah Johnson are both raw, yet long and athletic prospects with very high respective ceilings.

Numb you most certainly won’t be after you listen to the latest from Trevor James Tillery. The Los Angeles based singer songwriter makes us feel plenty with his moody whirring electro pop on ‘Numb.’. Deep rumbling percussion and Tillery’s creamy vocals make this new single a must for fans of Jaymes Young's molten pop as well as James Blake’s riveting soundscapes. The single can be streamed or downloaded via alternate outlets, here.

How likely every NFL team is to ruin its 1st-round pick
Why would you assume that your team is not gonna screw this up?
The NFL Draft is a time of relentless optimism for everyone. That player you get will set the course for your team’s future. Your franchise took the best player available, the perfect thing for its needs, or both. Draft grades from Night 1 all take a really big assumption: that teams won’t screw this up after the selection. That’s a bad assumption.
Due to a myriad of possible circumstances (coaching changes, front office ineptitude, bad deployment of the player, stunted development, you’re the New York Giants, etc.) literally anything can happen to your first-round pick. Many of these teams will screw this up and fail their multimillion-dollar investments. I’ve ranked each pick 1-5 on a RUIN SCALE, with 5 being the most worried I am about a player not panning out through little fault of his own.
1. Cardinals: Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray
Kyler Murray is exceptional, but the Cardinals are sticking him behind an offensive line that’s basically an OSHA violation. Kliff Kingsbury’s vertical passing schemes may be cutting-edge, but if Murray never has enough time to find an open receiver, good luck with that.
He’s also throwing to a receiving corps whose best player is 36 years old. Even if Larry Fitzgerald is a first-ballot Hall of Famer, this is not the ideal situation for a quarterback to step into. Thank God Murray knows how to stay out of trouble.
RUIN SCALE: 5
2. 49ers: Ohio State DL Nick Bosa
San Francisco now has a logjam on the DL. The Niners have taken a defensive lineman in four of the last five first rounds, and how they deploy all that talent is going to be interesting moving forward. Maybe you fully shift Solomon Thomas inside? Or trade him, as is rumored.
But if the team doesn’t ruin him, the fanbase might ...
Bosa, 21, a talented pass-rusher out of Ohio State, recently deleted several tweets about political and racial subjects. Asked why he had done so, he told ESPN it was in his interest to scrub his social media accounts. “There is a chance I might end up in San Francisco,” he said.
So, to summarize some of the tweets from next year’s likely No. 1 draft pick, Nick Bosa: 1. Black Panther is the worst Marvel movie. 2. Beyoncé’s music is “trash.” 3. Kaepernick is a “clown.” Alllllllllllllllrighty then.
— mike freeman (@mikefreemanNFL) May 14, 2018
Nick Bosa on his past use of social media and coming to liberal area of country: “I love the Bay Area and I’m excited to play there. I was a little insensitive in some of the things I said. I’ve learned a lot in the past few months." #49ers
— Eric Branch (@Eric_Branch) April 26, 2019
RUIN SCALE: 3
3. Jets: Alabama DL Quinnen Williams
I’m serious: not even the Jets can screw up Quinnen Williams. The Jets were saved from themselves, because they reportedly couldn’t trade out. They were forced to take probably the safest player on the board.
Jets couldn’t find a trade partner. Picking....
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) April 26, 2019
They tried to screw this pick up by getting out of it. They’re forced into competency.
RUIN SCALE: 0
4. Raiders: Clemson DL Clelin Ferrell
The problem isn’t that Ferrell isn’t good. It’s that he’d probably still have been there when the Raiders drafted again later in the first round, and there were better edge rushers. And that’s the problem with the Raiders these days specifically. They have all the picks they can want, but at some point, you have to nail the picks and win. This isn’t doing that.
RUIN SCALE: 5
5. Buccaneers: LSU LB Devin White
The Bucs will be inserting him into a defense that literally hasn’t been good in 15 years.
RUIN SCALE: 5
6. Giants: Duke QB Daniel Jones
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
RUIN SCALE: 12
7. Jaguars: Kentucky DE/LB Josh Allen
Here’s a list of the first round draft picks made by Jags GM Dave Caldwell.
2013: Luke Joeckel (didn’t pan out)
2014: Blake Bortles (didn’t pan out, and was overpaid after a bidding war between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Jacksonville Jaguars)
2015: Dante Fowler (kinda panned out, but traded before the end of his rookie deal for scraps and was usurped by third round pick, Yannick Ngakoue)
2016: Jalen Ramsey (an All-Pro!)
2017: Leonard Fournette (maybe good, maybe not, and is a running back you took at the third pick, which is questionable anyway)
2018: Taven Bryan (played him in the wrong position most of the season)
RUIN SCALE: 4
8. Lions: Iowa TE T.J. Hockenson
Every five years, the Lions take a tight end. In 2009, they took Brandon Pettigrew (whom they cut after seven seasons), in 2014, Eric Ebron (whom they cut after four, and who went on to have a career year with the Colts).
The Lions can totally screw up Hockenson, a very good football player, and we’ll be right back here 2024. But maybe Matt Patricia can use Baby Gronk the right way.
RUIN SCALE: 3
9. Bills: Houston DT Ed Oliver
Buffalo is low-key assembling a solid defense. Adding Oliver to the front on the inside is a pretty savvy move. There is one way that the Bills could really screw this up, though. It would be to alter his pretty unique stance.
“He basically proved to [former defensive line coach A.J. Blum] and proved to himself that this is the stance he could come out of. It was compact, but at the same time extremely explosive. Short legs or not, I think that’s a tribute to his leverage.”
Even though Blum prides himself on fundamentals, he had to think outside the box here. Oliver says if NFL teams want “to make me sorry, then go ahead and fix it.”
RUIN SCALE: 3
10. Steelers: Michigan LB Devin Bush
The last time Pittsburgh traded up to get a defender in the first round, they landed Troy Polamalu. I’ll give em the benefit of the doubt here.
RUIN SCALE: 1
11. Bengals: Alabama OT Jonah Williams
Williams is a really good and technically sound lineman who’ll become the left tackle for Andy Dalton’s blindside. The problem is ... Dalton has struggled in the past under pressure, and actively makes things worse for his offensive line at times.
RUIN SCALE: 3
12. Packers: Michigan DL Rashan Gary
Green Bay is getting a pretty massive makeover on defense. As long as Gary stays out of Aaron Rodgers’ way, he’ll be fine.
RUIN SCALE: 2
13. Dolphins: Clemson DL Christian Wilkins
Please don’t screw up the most fun player in this draft, Miami.
RUIN SCALE: 1
14. Falcons: Boston College G Chris Lindstrom
I watched the draft with two Falcons fans, who immediately got up to get beers when the pick was made. Their team has now added five guards since the offseason started.
RUIN SCALE: 5
15. Washington: Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins
Well, they systematically ruined the last QB they drafted. Fare thee well, Dwayne.
RUIN SCALE: 26
16. Panthers: Florida State DE Brian Burns
Basically the only bad thing about Burns is his weight, and adding nearly 20 pounds since the end of his college season is a good sign.
RUIN SCALE: 1
17. Giants: Clemson DL Dexter Lawrence
I’m sorry, we just have to go back to this first.
Gettleman says #NYG had same grade on Daniel Jones and LB Josh Allen.
— Kimberly Jones (@KimJonesSports) April 26, 2019
In a backwards way, there isn’t much doubt in my mind that Lawrence will be fine in the long run. But my worry is because of the retrograde thinking of the Giants’ front office. A space-eating defensive tackle should be just fine.
RUIN SCALE: 2
18. Vikings: NC State OL Garrett Bradbury
Minnesota had to take an offensive lineman here and did. My only fear is that the offensive line just doesn’t gel with a bunch of new pieces and a new offensive scheme.
RUIN SCALE: 2
19. Titans: Mississippi State DL Jeffrey Simmons
This is a very good player, with a very serious crime in his past. No jokes or grades here.
20. Broncos: Iowa TE Noah Fant
The Broncos had a ... pretty good first round, trading down from the 10th pick and still getting a good player? I don’t know. Better not trust it.
RUIN SCALE: 4
21. Packers: Maryland S Darnell Savage
The Packers were an abomination on the back end last season for a few reasons. Inserting a rookie in the mix could work, or the youth could come back to bite them as they get shredded in shootouts.
RUIN SCALE: 4
22. Eagles: Washington State OT Andre Dillard
About as bulletproof a pick as they could make here, considering:
Despite a ridiculously large amount of snaps in pass protection – Andre Dillard put forth the draft class' 2nd-highest pass-blocking grade! #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/tU1cWJq2yY
— Pro Football Focus (@PFF) April 26, 2019
Adding Dillard to an already-good line is a strong move.
RUIN SCALE: 2
23. Texans: Alabama State OT Tytus Howard
Houston really needed to improve the position, and it did. This unit’s been bad in front of Deshaun Watson, and it’s held the team back. But do you trust Houston’s offensive line coaches to maximize new talent at the position?
RUIN SCALE: 4
24. Raiders: Alabama RB Josh Jacobs
Jacobs can do it all, and now the Raiders need a running back who can with Marshawn Lynch retiring. One thing John Gruden should get credit for is the way he uses running backs (remember that when you’re doing a fantasy draft in August).
RUIN SCALE: 1
25. Ravens: Oklahoma WR Hollywood Brown
The Ravens have a wide receiver! How about that?
RUIN SCALE: 1
26. Washington: Mississippi State DL Montez Sweat
I — they’re drafting well right now. I really don’t know what to do with this information.
RUIN SCALE: 4 (on principle)
27. Raiders: Mississippi State DB Jonathan Abram
Oakland coordinator Paul Guenther’s defensive scheme is hella complex. Good communication is a must. There’s gonna be a learning curve.
RUIN SCALE: 3
28. Chargers: Notre Dame DT Jerry Tillery
Yeah, give me all the Los Angeles defensive front players. Tillery, Melvin Ingram, and Joey Bosa together.
RUIN SCALE: 1
29. Seahawks: TCU DE L.J. Collier
It’s the Seahawks. He plays defense. This is easy.
RUIN SCALE: 0
30. Giants: Georgia CB Deandre Baker
I am just still so stunned by what this team did earlier.
Gettleman says he fell in love with Daniel Jones at the Senior Bowl. “After the three series I watched, I saw a professional quarterback. So that’s when I was in full-blown love.” #Giants
— Pat Leonard (@PLeonardNYDN) April 26, 2019
The good news: Baker’s a pretty good corner opposite Janoris Jenkins. With Jabrill Peppers at safety, this sounds like a pretty decent corps on the back end.
Bad news: You’d love ‘em to go up against a really really wide receiver in practice every day to get better. If only New York still had such a player around.
RUIN SCALE: 3

Georgia Senate Passes Bill That Penalizes Unauthorized Pen-Tests
A bill was passed yesterday by the state of Georgia that causes any unauthorized access to a computer to be considered “Unauthorized Computer Access” and “shall be punished for a misdemeanor of a high and aggravated nature”. This bill amends the Georgia code, which originally only considered unauthorized access with malicious intent to be a crime, information security training analyst said.
The new bill, titled SB-315, was a Republican sponsored bill that passed with 42 votes of Yea, 7 of Nay, 6 who did not vote, and 1 who was excused. Of the Yea votes, 11 were Democrat senators. Only one Republican, Blake Tillery, voted against this bill.
This bill changes the original language of the Georgia code shown below, to language that states that any unauthorized access to a computer, regardless of intent, is considered a crime.
(b) Computer Trespass. Any person who uses a computer or computer network with knowledge that such use is without authority and with the intention of:
Deleting or in any way removing, either temporarily or permanently, any computer program or data from a computer or computer network;
Obstructing, interrupting, or in any way interfering with the use of a computer program or data; or
Altering, damaging, or in any way causing the malfunction of a computer, computer network, or computer program, regardless of how long the alteration, damage, or malfunction persists shall be guilty of the crime of computer trespass.
The new language has raised a lot of concern among information security trainingresearchers who feel that it could cause Georgia businesses to be at greater risk of insecure servers and web sites. This is because information security training researchers would not be able to responsibly disclose problems to a Georgia based company without fear of legal repercussions.
To take it further, sites that perform automated analysis of servers could land themselves in trouble. For example, Shodan.io, a search engine for connected devices, could potentially face legal consequences when it scans servers located in Georgia.
These issues could have been resolved by adding language that protects the information security training professionals when they responsibly disclose vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, this heavy-handed approach may only lead to worse problems for Georgia business owners.
