Florida State QB EJ Manuel has seen his draft stock soar of the final week heading into the 2013 NFL Draft, and he was considered a second-day pick that could fall into the third or fourth round a few months ago. The Philadelphia Eagles, Cleveland Browns, Buffalo Bills and New York Jets have shown interest and they all pick within the first 15 picks. 'They want me pretty bad,' Manuel said of the Eagles. Manuel would be an extreme reach for Philadelphia's fourth overall pick, though, since they already have QBs Michael Vick and Nick Foles on roster. However, some analysts think Manuel will be gone by the Eagles' 35th overall pick in the second round. The Jets also have two first-round picks, the Browns pick sixth overall and the Bills have the eighth selection.

Philadelphia Eagles QB Michael Vick said new head coach Chip Kelly's offensive scheme is refreshing. 'It's great, it's awesome,' Vick said. 'It's (like) nothing I've ever seen before as an offense. We do a lot of things that just put the ball into guys' hands and let them make plays.' Vick added the offense has worked on a lot of read-option plays during their minicamp.
Fantasy Impact: Vick should be a great fit for the offense and is the favorite to start for the Eagles.

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly said Tuesday, April 16, following his first practice with the team he is in no rush to name a starting quarterback for the 2013 season. Kelly wants to create competition between QBs Michael Vick, Nick Foles and even Dennis Dixon. 'There wasn't one set guy that just went with the ones the entire day,' Kelly said. 'All those guys got an opportunity to roll through ... It's April 16, so we're not playing until next September. We're going to use the full available time for us to make a full evaluation of what it is. I think it fosters competition. I think those guys love competition. That's why they're in that position, and they know it.'
