3;00- With the Number One Pick of the 2008 NFL Draft The Miami Dolphins select…..

          Jake Long OT- Michigan

The St. Louis Rams are now on the clock….

My prediction for the Rams- Chris Long DE Virgina

3:12  With the second pick in the NFL Draft the Rams select…

Chris Long- DE Virgina

It would have been nice to see him slip or the Pats to move up for him.  These next two picks will be interesting to see how the dominos fall and if any one want to trade with the Pats

The Falcons are now on the Clock, My prediction- Matty ICE Ryan BC

* Matt Ryan is on the Phone smiling so it looks like hell be a Falcon

3:18-  With the third pick the Falcons select Matt Ryan out of Boston College

Matt, you will be missed at BC next year and thank you for your four years there!

The Oakland Raiders are now on the clock…. Prediction- Darren McFadden

Again this pick will have a big effect on what the Pats do, Mike Riess from the Globe reports:

this selection figures to have a trickle-down effect on the Patriots at No. 7.

Assuming there is no trade, the Raiders are likely choosing between three options: RB Darren McFadden, DE/OLB Vernon Gholston and DT Glenn Dorsey.

The Raiders have Justin Fargas, LaMont Jordan, Dominic Rhodes and Michael Bush at running back, so there is no major need for McFadden.

The team also invested heavily in DT Tommy Kelly in free agency, and while they’d surely find a spot for Dorsey, it’s not a major need either.

Gholston would be the type of hybrid DE/OLB that would seem to fit well in the Raiders’ 3-4 scheme, and his position appears to be the greater need than RB or DT.

Of the group, McFadden appears to be the key for the Patriots.

If he slips past Oakland, trade action for picks 5, 6 and 7 would seemingly pick up.

3:26  With the fourth Pick DA RAIIIIIDERS select Darren McFadden

This hurts the trade value for the Pats. But does keep him away from the Jets so Im happy. I believe that McFadden will be  A BEAST in the NFL. He wont only be a top NFL draft choice but also top fantasy football choice.

Chiefs are now on the clock…

Prediction- Glenn Dorsey

334-  The Chiefs select Glenn Dorsey DT LSU

The Saints offered the Chiefs a trade of 2 1st rounders and 1 second rounder but declined, stupid move in my opionion!

The J_E_T_S Suck SUCK SUCK are now on the Clock,

My prediction- Vernon Gholsten

The Sucks fans are chanting we want Gholston!

Itll be intresting to see what happens if the Pats will trade or pick

Still on the Board: Gholsten, Breden Albert, Sederick Ellis, Keith Rivers

343 The SUCKS select Vernon Gholsten

Solid pick for the Pats

The Pats are now on the Clock Baby!!!

Still Available:

OG/OT Branden Albert
DL Sedrick Ellis
OLB Keith Rivers
CB Leodis McKelvin

I HOPE THE PATS can get a trade from the Bengals or Saints for them to move up to get Ellis
