Revis to the Bucs
Recently Darrelle Revis got traded to the Tampa Bay Bucs for the 13th pick in the draft and a 2014 draft pick. Tampa signed Revis for a 6 year deal. This will help out a struggling Tampa pass defense into a medium pass defense.

NFL Mock Draft
This is one of the few years their isn't an obvious number 1 pick, as it could either be Luke Joeckel, or Eric Fisher who are both offensive lineman. This is my 2013 5 pick NFL mock draft.
1- Chiefs- Luke Joeckel- OT- Texas A&M- This is a big 6'6 306 pound lineman who can play guard or tackle. He was faced with the task of protecting Heisman winner Johnny Manziel last year and succeeded. The Chiefs need someone to protect their new quarterback Alex Smith after releasing Matt Cassel.
2- Jaguars- Eric Fisher- OT- Central Michigan- The 6'7 306 pound tackle ends up picked over Dion Jordan simply because he is proven. Jordan hasn't proven himself while Eric Fisher has proved himself plus some. You may say that it's just because of Central Michigan's small conference and he has no competition, but 49ers star Joe Staley is from the CM too and actually gave up more college sacks.
3- Raiders-Shariff Floyd- DT- Flordia- The Raiders have been known to draft based on speed, ex. Darious Hayward-Bey ran the best wide receiver 40 time but ended up going know where in the NFL. I think they will stick with that theme and draft Shariff Floyd out of Flordia. He has an amazing combo of speed and strength, running a 4.87 40 yard dash. He didn't participate in the bench press because of an injury but it's obvious he's strong when you watch his tapes.
4- Eagles- Dion Jordan- OLB- Oregon- The Eagles need a speedy linebacker and will get that with a huge upside player in Dion Jordan. This is a little bit of a hit or miss pick, as he hasn't fully proven himself yet.
5-Lions- Dee Milliner-CB- Alabama- The Lions need 2 things, an offensive lineman or a cornerback. With 2 lineman already gone the Lions will pick up Dee Milliner who ran a so-so 4.3 second 40. He is a great tackler and isn't afraid to hit you hard. He also is very disciplined great at avoiding blocks.

NBA Playoffs
Last night the first weekend of the NBA playoffs has ended. David Lee, the Warriors double-double machine on the block is out for the playoffs. This is a big hit to a Golden State team who already isn't a very good rebounding team. Carl Landry will have to step up and play big minutes in GS wants to have a chance at beating the Nuggets, or at least stealing a game or two.
