The Eagles Draft Will Focus on Michael Vick, Playoffs In 2011
Andy Reid is set to once again trade a starting quarterback off the team. You can do such a thing once normal business resumes and Michael Vick is on your roster.
The Eagles will be putting the franchise in the hands of Vick, who will be signing a fat new contract at some point. He will get this huge contract despite being injured twice during the course of the 2010 season. That is just how good Vick is, and it shows why the Eagles have to do everything they can to protect Vick in 2011.
Enter Derek Sherrod. Sherrod is the kind of raw offensive line talent Andy Reid can plug right in and have him start in Week 1. Sherrod is big and athletic and should be able to make the transition to the pros in short order.
The Eagles gave up 52 sacks last year, so Sherrod's job will be to reduce that number significantly and protect the franchise.
