NFL Mock Draft for 2008
The 2008 NFL Draft is fast approaching and teams are still trying to move around the draft board. If all the teams stay put like it is now, I believe I see how this 2008 NFL Draft will play out. I don’t follow the same old patterns of the other mock drafts you have probably seen online. I evaluate talent and I line that talent up in order from best to worse. Mel Kipper might have the name that everyone knows, but I have the best players in the country in my first round listing of the eligible players for the 2008 NFL Draft.
1) Miami Dolphins - Matt Ryan
2) St. Louis Rams - Darren McFadden
3) Atlanta Falcons - Andre Woodson
4) Oakland Raiders - Chris Long
5) Kansas City Chiefs - Jake Long
6) New York Jets - Sedrick Ellis
7) New England Patriots - DeShaun Jackson
8 ) Baltimore Ravens - Ryan Clady
9) Cinncinati Bengals - Mike Jenkins
10) New Orleans Saints - Glenn Dorsey
11) Buffalo Bills - Brian Brohm
12) Denver Broncos - Derrick Harvey
13) Carolina Panthers - Chris Williams
14) Chicago Bears - Jeff Otah
15) Detroit Lions - Kenny Phillips
16) Arizona Cardinals - Leodis McKelvin
17) Minnesota Vikings - Keith Rivers
18) Houston Texans - Rashard Medenhall
19) Philadelphia Eagles - Dominique Cromartie
20) Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Malcolm Kelly
21) Washington Redskins - Vernon Gholston
22) Dallas Cowboys - Devin Thomas
23) Pittsburgh Steelers - Aquib Talib
24) Tennessee Titans - Felix Jones
25) Seattle Seahawks - Johnathan Stewart
26) Jacksonville Jaguars - Calais Campbell
27) San Diego Chargers - Kentwan Balmer
28) Dallas Cowboys - Gosder Cherilus
29) San Francisco 49ers - Quentin Groves
30) Green Bay Packers - James Hardy
31) New England Patriots - Michael Vick?
32) New York Giants - Branden Albert
Those are the top 31 players that the NFL GM’s should be taking in this year’s draft. I’m sure some will slip into the 2nd round of the draft and will be some nice finds for teams picking these players in the 2nd round. The 2008 NFL Draft has average talent this year and I don’t really see any can’t miss prospects. Matt Ryan should have a descent NFL career and he’s ready to step in now and take over half of the jobs in the NFL. I’m sure whoever drafts him will work him in slowly and not realize that Matt Ryan is already ahead of the QB they have in place now. Darren McFadden showed his ability to take over games and I assume he will continue this into the NFL too. The Dallas Cowboy fans will really find a couple of quality players they will be able to stick into their team for next year and Dallas isn’t too far away from another Super Bowl appearance from their legendary status as America’s Team.
Don’t expect my draft to play out like it should, because the combines have more importance than what these young men actually did in games last year. I could draft better than half of the current GM’s that hold jobs in the National Football League. It’s sad, because I give out the best free advice possible and they get paid big bucks to give out bad advice.
Don’t let the Kipper fool ya; these are the 31 best players for this year’s draft. Yes, I did include Michael Vick as the Patriots pick, because I have a solid source of information coming in, that Vick will be a Patriot soon! He is going to be the replacement of the future for the best player in the NFL in Randy Moss.
If you like seeing your face or name mentioned on television, don’t feel alone. The GM’s love to hear all the media talk they can on their teams and that is why Chris Long will be a hot commodity on draft day. I’m sure Terry, Howie and Jimmy will keep close eyes on the son of Howie Long and the team that lands him will get that extra coverage from the FOX guys on Sundays.
