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.

Rooney Done at MU
There
are rumors out there that the most storied soccer team ever Manchester United
sold Wayne Rooney to Paris Saint German for a whopping 39 million dollars. PSG
has made some big moves in the past few years buying Zlatan
Ibrahimovic among other big names, and even tried
to acquire Christiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid. Manchester United was
trying to get more touches for star striker Robin Van Persie and would do so if
they in fact sold Rooney. The manager of MU claims he never was in transfer
talks about Rooney and that he is "an essential part of our success".
