2008 NFL Mock Draft
3 days ago :: 181581 Views
The best part of a future mock draft is determining the order of teams. If you care to argue about that or the players I selected, bring it on:
1. Raiders: Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas - McFadden ran for 182 yards against LSU, which is basically an NFL team. Character questions, but these are the Raiders.
2. Texans: Jake Long, OT, Michigan - After Matt Schaub gets sacked as often as David Carr, Houston realizes it's still got a problem.
3. Vikings: Brian Brohm, QB, Louisville - Strong running game, and no passing game translates to 4-12 for the Vikes in 2007.
4. Lions: Calais Campbell, DE, Miami - I was tempted to put the top WR on the board here, but Matt Millen may not be around to run the draft.
5. Buccaneers: Sam Baker, LT, USC - Will this be the first pick of the post-Gruden era?
6. Dolphins: Chad Henne, QB, Michigan - The ‘Fins make up for controversial '07 pick of an Ohio State WR by taking a Michigan QB. You have to love the symmetry.
7. Cardinals: Derrick Harvey, DE, Florida - Pass-rushers are always valuable.
8. Titans: Kenny Phillips, S, Miami - Phillips gets the edge over Antoine Cason.
9. Cowboys (via Browns): Tyson Jackson, DE, LSU - Strong D-lineman for Wade Phillips' defense.
10. Falcons: Limas Sweed, WR, Texas - Tempted to go QB here, but only if the Falcons are bad enough to get Brohm.
11. Bills: Gosder Cherilus, OT, Boston College - Love those BC linemen.
12. Packers: DeSean Jackson, WR, California - Finally a playmaker for Favre. Just a year too late.
13. Giants: Steve Slaton, RB, West Virginia - The new Tiki.
14. Rams: Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU - Dorsey is LSU's defensive star, but falls a bit because of lack of NFL size (6-foot-2, 299).
15. Chiefs: Keith Rivers, OLB, USC - If the Trojans dominate this year, all their prospects will look good.
16. Jaguars: Mario Manningham, WR, Michigan - They want to take over the Lions' title of team that takes the most WRs in the first round.
17. Eagles: Lawrence Jackson, DE, USC - Hard to tell if the Eagles will be at 7 or 27. All depends on Donovan McNabb.
18. Panthers: Early Doucet, WR, LSU - Doucet benefits from how well the LSU WRs taken this year play.
19. Steelers: Paul Oliver, CB, Georgia - I wasn't sure whether to put the Steelers at No. 28 or No. 8. All depends on Mike Tomlin.
20. Jets: Frank Okam, DT, Texas - Not necessarily an Eric Mangini kind of guy, but might fill need at nose tackle.
21. Ravens: Shawn Crable, LB - Can play multiple positions Adalius Thomas-style.
22. Redskins: Vince Hall, LB, Va. Tech - The ‘Skins actually have picks this year!
23. Seahawks: John David Booty, QB, USC - Matt Hasselbeck isn't getting any younger ... or any more hair.
24. Patriots (via 49ers): James Laurinaitis, LB, Ohio State - Passed on LBs early on in this draft.
25. Cowboys: Adarius Bowman, WR, Oklahoma State - Will learn from a Terrell Owens just like Dwayne Jarrett will learn from Keyshawn Johnson in Carolina. (Meaning this is T.O.'s last year in Big D.)
26. Chargers: Dan Conner, LB, Penn State - Conner is probably a better pro prospect than the Bills' second-round pick Paul Posluszny.
27. Bears: Chris Long, DE, Virginia - Howie's kid.
28. Broncos: Ray Rice, RB, Rutgers - Critics say he's too small, but is any running back really too small?
29. Bengals: Andre Fluellen, DT, Florida State - The NFL now requires at least one Florida State defensive player to go in the first round every year.
30. 49ers (via Colts): Antoine Cason, CB, Arizona - I'm not thrilled with Cason's performance at the 2008 combine.
31. Saints: Colt Brennan, QB, Hawaii - Undersized system quarterback. Reminds me a little of a former Purdue quarterback.
32. Patriots: Aqib Talib, CB, Kansas -- I'm assuming Asante Samuel plays for New England in '07 and then departs.



IDK IF COLT LASTS THAT LONG..AND Y WOULD SAINT PICK THEM...DONT MIND HENNE..HOW ABOUT U GUYS???
 
Is this another post dissing beck? chill out we get it you don't agree with passing on Quinn but beck looks to be the future. :cooldude:
 
Wow.

3 things that stick out: Pats and Saints in the superbowl? You've got to be kidding me. Mcfadden going first? He's good but even Reggie Bush didn't go first. Lastly why in the world would we take Chad Henne? I'm getting really tired really fast with all the knocking of Beck from around the NFL. I hope this just lights Beck's fire and makes him want to prove everyone wrong.
 
1st Off we will not be drafting 6th (Nowhere near the top 10 again), and secondly we already drafted a QB, and there is no way we will give up on him within a year.
 
And with the 28th pick in the 2008 draft, Miami Dolphins select Dan Conner, ILB Penn State.

none of the off-season acquisitions the Dolphins have made make them a playoff team, or to even challenge New England for the division. And no, wins against the Pats after they've locked up the division don't impress me. We'll be pretty high in the drafting order, but probably not top 3.

my Six playoff-bound AFC teams: NE, Indy, SD (or LT depending on how you look at it), and Baltimore winning divisions; Cincy and Denver sneaking in for wildcards.
 
Only QB I'd touch in this year's draft is Brian Brohm. But since we're now forcefully committed to Beck, we could draft Long, Baker, or a CB.
 
Umm..., this is in poor taste... I still haven't got the flavour of the current draft off my tongue... Not to say that i was disgusted..., just disheartened... :(
