Official 2008 Draft Thread

[Finnegans Wake]

OK, post your pre-pick hopes, post-picks gripes, and analysis of all the draft day shenanigans.

I'll kick things off and go out on a limb, and predict Miami will select Jake Long.

Risky 1st pick there Finny, risky pick.  I will take the gamble and agree with you.

St Louis, with the second Pick selects......DE C Long, VA

[Finnegans Wake]

All the buzz is that the Rams will go with Chris Long.

In the BGS mock, Miami took Matt Ryan so I drafted Jake Long for the Rams.\

Oh, and Friday the Cowgirls Recouped their R4 pick sent to the Titans for Pacman, by shipping Ayodele and TE Fasano to the Fins.  So, Ayodele and Fasano for Pac.  Meh.  Whatever.

I am really interested in this first Falcons pick. Michael Smith just said they would take Ryan over Dorsey... which would then leave the Raiders with the option... Dorsey or Dmac? If they go Dmac which people are saying they will... then you have to think its Dorsey or Gholston for the Jets? so i like how the next 5 or so picks play out

Even if they do draft Long, they will NEVER be able to sign him....That pick has prolonged hold out written all over it.....

Finally it's here.  Is it true they're only doing two rounds today?  I like the shorter time period but not the late start.

Here's to a good draft.  I hope they don't outsmart themselves today.

NFLN was saying the Ravens might be trying to move to 1.2.  The only guy I'd trade up for would be Dorsey, maybe, but IMO Ellis is close enough to wait for.  Gholston?  If it's Ryan, they're spending too much IMO.  They're gonna come up a nut short in this draft.

ESPN reporting Saints trying to get Shockey, but NYG want more than a Rd 2 pick.  Gotta wonder if the Giants are planning on moving up in Rd 1 with #'s 31 & 41 if the deals does end up happening.

[give'emthaboot]

Anybody else think the Bungles give in and ship 85 away today if Washington (or someone else I suppose) offers the right deal?
