But members of the 1st Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment are now training a new batch of AGMV op- erators at an Italian army base in Pordenone, located just a few miles from Aviano Air Base.

NFL Cutting their losses Teams not hesitating drafting, moving on from quarterbacks

BY JOSH DUBOW Associated Press ne after another, quarterbacks once believed to be franchise cornerstones after being top five draft picks changed addresses this off- Oseason in staggering succession. Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff were part of a swap of former No. 1 overall picks. Carson Wentz and Sam Darnold were traded away by teams that had re- cently tried to build around those passers. Mitchell Trubisky had to settle for a backup contract deal after flaming out in Chicago. Those were part of a growing pattern around the league as teams have never been more willing to use high draft picks on quarterbacks, and never been quicker to cut ties when those investments don’t pay off. The cycle will continue later this month when quarterbacks are expected to be drafted with the top three picks and a chance that a record five could go in the top 10 as the lure of a top passer on an affordable rookie deal is too enticing to pass up. The Jets will get back on the rookie quarterback roller coaster three years after trading up to take Darnold with the third pick. With New York holding the second selection in a quarterback- heavy draft, general manager Joe Dou- glas dealt Darnold to Carolina and now has his eyes on another potential franchise QB, likely BYU’s Zach Wilson. “We felt like this was the best decision for the entire organization moving forward,” Douglas said, “and hitting the reset but- ton.” The resets are coming quicker than ever, with the Jets’ decision to trade Da- rold after his third season the quickest a team has moved on from a top 5 quarter- back since the Raiders cut 2007 No. 1
