Final 1st Round Mock Draft for 2013 NFL Draft

Luke Joeckel is projected to be the Number 1 pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.Below is my projection for the first round of the 2013 NFL draft. The order is dictated by team need as well as player talent, and no trades are involved.

2013 NFL Draft Projection:

1. Kansas City Chiefs- Luke Joeckel, OT Texas A&M – With a trade for LT Brandon Albert reportedly in the works with the Dolphins, the Chiefs will solidify their offensive line here.

2. Jacksonville Jaguars- Eric Fisher, OT Central Michigan- Fisher has  sparked the Jaguars’ interest, and should be a starter from day one.

3. Oakland Raiders- Shariff Floyd, DT Florida- Floyd is a dominant run stopping talent, and can fit a variety of schemes. The Raiders could …

The Eagles will open the Monday night football season on September 9th taking on last year’s NFC East Champions, the Washington Redskins in their home town.

Michael Vick to Start for Injured Rookie Nick Foles

Michael Vick will start at least 1 more game for the Philadelphia EaglesPhiladelphia Eagles fans get to watch Michael Vick work his magic on the field one more time this season.

Eagles Linebacker Bill Romoanowski celebrates the 2nd stop of Emmitt Smith on 4th & 1Being an Eagles fan can be trying sometimes. We don’t have recent memories of the team winning a Championship. You’d have to go to back over 50 years, before the Super Bowl era, to be able to celebrate the last time the Eagles won.
