Bleacher Report's Official 2008 NFL Mock Draft: Picks 1-16

  I'm not a fan of Ryan. I like the Kentucky guys: Brohm and Woodson.  Ryan threw a lot of interceptions.  But that's just me. Everyone else seems to be in love with him.

John F:  The Falcons need Ryan—and 44 other guys to go with him, now that you mention it.

Scott S:  Wow, Matt Ryan in the ATL. That's surprising. He'll lead the league in interceptions very soon.  SeanMC, I know you’re a Boston guy, but I am not sold on Ryan.  Henne is the best QB in the 2008 Draft.

Rob C: I like Henne too. He's No. 2 on my list.

Andrew K:  No love for Ryan coming from this corner.

SeanMC:  He carried the team though...his WRs couldn't get open against me.

Kevan L:  Hmm, Falcon WRs can't get open either.

David W:  I still don't know why there's no love for Andre Woodson.  He dominated the SEC.  Doesn't that count for something?

 

Pick No. 4, Oakland Raiders. Picking for the Oakland Raiders, Rob Calonge.

The Pick:  Chris Long, DE, Virginia

 

John F: No pressure.

Rob C: The Oakland Raiders would like to thank the Dolphins, Rams, and Falcons for not screwing up their draft. The Oakland Raiders select none other than Chris Long.

SeanMC: DeSean Jackson?

Rob C:  Al tried to draft Howie, but you know...

SeanMC:  In my defense, I did say in my mock that Chris Long was the guy they SHOULD take.

David W:  They'll probably end up taking Michael Beasley for his athletic ability.

Andrew K:  If Chris Long falls this far, I think I'll shoot myself in the lip...I had him going to Miami.

SeanMC:  I think he's going to Miami as well.  Did you hear their GM screw up at the press conference this week?

James C:  Or did he?  Don't underestimate the sneakiness.

Rob C:  I think in return for not drafting him, Parcells is going to get a great trade for Fabian Washington.

 

Pick No. 5, Kansas City Chiefs. Picking for the Chiefs, John Fennelly.

The Pick: Sedrick Ellis, DT, USC

 

John F:  I have Carl Peterson on the phone...just back from the tanning salon.  With the 5th selection, the Kansas City Chiefs - winner of Super Bowl IV - select Sedrick Ellis, DT Southern California.

David W:  Wow.

Rob C:  Didn't see that one coming.  I thought Clady was the pick.

Andrew K:  Stunner...

Scott S:  Good pick, I thought KC might go O-Line.

David W:  No Gholston?

Scott S:   What about Clady or B. Albert?

John F:  Those guys are too obvious.

James C:  Nice pick John. They can go O-line with the Vikings first rounder when they trade Allen.

Andrew K:  James, that deal looks dead.

James C:  Gotcha, Andrew... somebody will bite though.

John F:  Correct, James - they will get another No. 1 for Allen.

Kevan L:  The second coming of Ryan Sims?

 

Pick No. 6, New York Jets. Picking for the Jets, Kevan Lee.

The Pick: Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas

 

Kevan L:  New York Jets select RB Darren McFadden.

David W:  If the Jets don't take Gholston I don't know.  It's not just my Buckeye bias.   Or maybe it is?  Yeah, it probably is.

Kevan L:  Gholston was tempting, but McFadden is too big of a playmaker to ignore.

James C:  Bill Belichick is rubbing his hands together and smiling.

David W:  Kevan, aren't you a Pats guy?  Conspiracy theory here?

Kevan L:  You bet, there's a conspiracy theory.

Rob C:
