I've spent 822 hours, 27 minutes, and 29 seconds preparing this Mock Draft (includes time spent reading other Mock Drafts, watching film, going to a couple pro days, and any other research that would help me come to this point where I'm exhausted). With all that being said, Saturday is the day that a year's worth of hard work, on the part of NFL Scouts and Personnel people in general, will finally be put to use. And as I always say, the draft is the one event in football where each team is put on a stage against the other. It really can be riveting tv. It should be even better this year with the First and Second Rounds being shorter and being the only rounds done on Saturday w/ the remainder of the draft taking place on Sunday. So without further ado, here are the picks that I believe will happen (especially the First Round, then most of it will be what I think should happen after that) and (if I get one pick wrong I will intentionally crap my pants and sit in it for a week...just kidding). Now without further ado, I give to you the 2008 NFL Draft:
2008 Final Mock Draft
1. Denver (from Miami)- Jake Long OT Michigan
Either way, I think Jake ends up the #1 pick. The caveat is whether it will be Miami, or maybe the Denver Broncos.
2. St.L.- Vernon Gholston DE/OLB Ohio State
I think this is a mistake, but it seems the Rams like Carriker inside, meaning they need again to draft a guy to rush the passer from the outside, and they see him as the more explosive pass-rusher than Chris Long.
3. Atl- Matt Ryan QB Boston College
Another mistake in my opinion, not b/c of value (the Falcons no doubt need a high-character QB), but b/c Ryan isn’t even the best QB in this class.
4. Dallas (from Oak)- Darren McFadden RB Ark
The trade that was apparently being talked about months ago, takes place and Jerry Jones gets his Arkansas homeboy.
5. KC- Sedrick Ellis DT USC
Some have Ellis higher, some have Dorsey. I guess it just depends on the team, but I’ve heard they really like him and certainly could use some youth and speed on that defense.
6. NYJ- Chris Long DE UVa
Not sure how he made it this far down the list, but b/c I think most of these teams are that dumb as far as drafting (or else they wouldn’t be in this position). Long should be the #1 pick, but I doubt he will be.
7. NE- Dominique Rogers-Cromartie CB Middle Tennessee State
