I think Vick is very dangerous and he scares the hell out of me to be honest. I seen what this guy can do when his game is on. I was hoping they would trade him a way...Nope..they keeping his ass and I don't blame them.
I think the Eagles would have been better off moving on....maybe Kelly gets more out of him, but I don't see it. He's not what he was and they're going to still have a hell of a time trying to keep him healthy.
Damontre Moore really hurt himself with his workout. I'd say Dion Jordan and Ziggy Ansah helped themselves. The longer this process goes, the more I'm inching onto the Luke Joeckel/Eric Fisher bandwagon at #5. We cannot blow this pick.

In my opinion, you have three fundamental things you have to make sure are true at all times as a football team.
1. You have a quarterback. 2. You can protect your quarterback. 3. You can create pressure on the other quarterback.
The Lions really fall short at #3, and only kind of fall short at #2. Backus was alright this year, but I think it should be a no brainer if Joeckel falls. Fisher is about as good as Joeckel, really, and he's probably a better run blocker. So in order to help the team create pressure on the QB, I think that someone like Dee Milliner is a guy they should consider, because coverage liabilities make them open to the high percentage passing game. As far as 4-3 DE's they can draft at #5, I'm not sure there's one I'd take, to be real. I don't think Dion Jordan is a real 4-3 DE and Ansah scares me. They should see what value is there at the end of the first or around their pick in the early second.
I'd rather reach for Milliner or Fisher than get an end at #5 at this point. I love Jarvis Jones but he's not a good fit in the scheme we have, and that goes for Jordan as well.
Tom Brady, New England Patriots agree on three-year extension
Tom Brady took a huge step today to ensure he'll retire a Patriot, agreeing to a three-year contract extension that will keep him under center for New England through the 2017 season, when he will be 40 years old.
For the second time in his illustrious career, Brady is doing something players in this day and age simply do not do: As he did in 2005, Brady, a league source told SI.com, is signing a contract with New England that will pay him significantly less money than the market will bear, in large part to help the Patriots stay competitive for the next five seasons.
Amazingly, according to the source, the deal is for an eye-poppingly conservative $27 million, which is less than half his worth by any measure.
The extension will pay Brady a $3 million signing bonus immediately, in addition to salaries of $7 million in 2015, $8 million in 2016 and $9 million in 2017. Brady told Sports Illustrated five years ago he wanted to play until he was 40, at least, and this will accomplish that. He turns 40 on Aug. 3, 2017.

Jennifer Lawrence takes a couple steps and falls forward. Rushes just like Michael Turner."
