NFL Draft picks 20-21



20. Jets – Paxton Lynch, QB, Memphis: Could be a defensive lineman such as Jarran Reed here. Let’s face it though, the Jets need a quarterback and the 6-7, 244-pound Lynch threw the ball faster than anyone at the combine according to Ourlads.com and their radar gun.

21. Washington – Jarran Reed, DT, Alabama: Try moving this nose tackle, who frequently took on double-teams with the Crimson Tide, is like trying to cash a check without an ID. Not going to happen.

Can Sanchez take Birds to the Super Bowl?

For a creative use of social media, let's go to SBNation.com.
Sanchez confirms his hand is as big as a football.

It ran a Madden simulation with Mark Sanchez as the quarterback for all 32 teams in order to see if the current Eagles starter would win a Super Bowl.

Click here for the incredibly entertaining video.

I won't spoil it for you.

Tapp, Laws scratched for Jets

The Eagles deactivated injured defensive linemen Darryl Tapp and Trevor Laws.

Also scratched - Brandon Hughes, Julian Vandervelde,  Winston Justice, Greg Lloyd and Cedric Thornton.

Obviously the Eagles felt it would be more productive to go with three defensive tackles instead of letting Thornton debut. That despite a run-first Jets attack.
