The 2008 NFL Draft is winding to a close. Thus far, 4 Auburn players have been drafted with a few left hoping for some loving in the 7th round (Brandon Cox for Mr. Irrelevant 2008!!).
The SEC has had a big weekend with Darren McFadden and Glenn Dorsey both being picked in the top 5 and Derrick Harvey (!?!?) and Jerrod "Hold the" Mayo picked at 8th and 10th respectively.
Speaking of Glenn Dorsey, if you have watched ESPN in - I don't know - the last week or so, you undoubtedly saw Dorsey destroy Chaz Ramsey and tackle Brad Lester for a loss. I think I saw that play somewhere around 74 times this weekend. You know what happens when you embarrass somebody like that Glenn Dorsey? You get chop blocked*.
You know who hasn't had a player picked thus far? Alabama thats who. I would have also accepted Mississippi State.
New Auburn T-shirt:Front: Develop Talent?Back: We do!! Fear the perception that Alabama does not increase the skill and draft-ability of the players they recruit.NFL Draft 2008A little wordy but with some fine print it could work. Get on that Tiger Rags.
The four Auburn players drafted (through pick 222)
Quentin Groves 2nd round Pick #52 to the Jacksonville Jaguars
Patrick Lee 2nd round Pick #60 to the Green Bay Packers
Pat Sims 3rd round Pick #77 to the Cincinnati Bengals
Jonathan Wilhite 4th round Pick #129 to the New England Patriots
Edit: King Dunlap 7th round Pick #230 to the Philadelphia Eagles
*I do not condone or encourage chop blocking by Auburn or any other team. But as they say, "you play the cards you are dealt". And Auburn has been dealing out a lot of chop blocking lately.
