Email
Print(1:15 PM est) - Welcome to the 2008 NFL Draft Open Thread! After weeks and weeks of talking about it, writing about it, commenting about it, losing sleep over it, the day is finally here. Can the Broncos continue a decent trend of solid draft picks? Will Kansas City use the bounty they received in the Jared Allen trade to immediately improve? Can the Raiders finad a way to screw up another draft?? We'll find out in a little over 90 minutes.
MileHighReport has you covered today, from Jake Long to Mr. Irrelevent. Be here all day to talk about everyt pick and enjoy the Auto-Refreshing Comments! Get involved by posting your thought in the FanPosts or FanShots. New to the site? Sign up, Sign In, and GET INVOLVED!!!
(1:30 PM est) - Some team may have forgotten the start time is 3 hours later this year. It already appears the Top 4 picks are set, though some of it may be a smoke screen. As of now, here is what we are hearing -
#1 - Miami Dolphins - OT Jake Long, Michigan
#2 - St. Louis Rams - DE Chris Long, Virginia
#3 - Atlanta Falcons - QB Matt Ryan, Boston College
#4 - Oakland Raiders - RB Darren McFadden, Arkansas
That would mean the Chiefs have a tough decision. They want to trade down, but if Glenn Dorsey is there how do they not take him?? Let the conversation begin!
(2:10 PM est) - Just to review, the Broncos have 9 draft picks in the 2008 NFL Draft --
Round 1: No. 12 overall
Round 2: No. 42 overall
Round 4: No. 108 overall
Round 4: No. 119 overall
Round 5: No. 139 overall
Round 5: No. 148 overall
Round 6: No. 183 overall
Round 7: No. 220 overall
Round 7: No. 227 overall
TRADE RUMOR -- Adam Schefter reports the Raiders and Saints might be talking trade, with the Saints moving to #4 and the Raiders dropping to #10.
(2:25 PM est) - Update on the jerseys seen here at the ESPNZone at Times Square -- Cowboys, Steelers, Bengals, NY Jets, NY Giants, Patriots, Chiefs, Colts, Raiders, Titans, Redskins, Panthers, Dolphins, Buccaneers, Falcons.
Ironically, I haven't seen any Broncos garb, other than my own, but 4 different people have come up to me expressing their love for everything Orange and Blue.
(2:55 PM est) - New York Jets fans, classy as always, boo Jake Long when he is introduced. Divisional Rivalries usurp class at all times. Only 5 MINUTES TO GO.
#1 Miami Dolphins -- OT Jake Long, Michigan -- This pick has been known since Tuesday, taking a bit of the drama away from the top pick. A smart choice for the Dolphins who need to re-build from ground up. Long can be plugged in Day1 and start at Left Tackle for the next 10-15 years. It was also a solid value for the 'Phins, who paid substantially less for Long than the Raiders last year for Fatty Russell.
#2 St. Louis Rams -- DE Chris Long, Virginia -- The Rams go with need over substance, taking Long. Dorsey might be the better pro down the road, but the Rams need a pass rush, they need a DE and Long was the best available. Add in the bloodlines, and the assumption is Long should be a solid Pro.
#3 Atlanta Falcons -- QB Matt Ryan, Boston College -- The Falcons needed to put a new face on the franchise after the Michael Vick fiasco. Matt Ryan isn't overly spectacular to me, to be honest, but for the Falcons this was the safest pick. They need to exterminate the stench of Vick and the best way to do that is to draft a quarteback.
#4 Oakland Raiders -- RB Darren McFadden, Arkansas -- The Raiders just can't help themselves. With three solid defensive players sitting there for them, the Raiders and Al Davis can't help but go for the flash. There is no doubting McFadden's talent, but someone tell me what he's done in a bowl game. What has he done in a big game. How many conference titles did Arkansas win? As a Bronco fan, I feel better about McFadden as a Raider than Dorsey or Gholston.
#5 Kansas City Chiefs -- DT Glenn Dorsey, LSU -- The Chiefs have Dorsey fall right in their lap, immediately helping to ease the loss of Jared Allen. I said when the trade went down, when everyone was celebrating the fact that Allen would no longer be in the AFC West that I would wait until after the draft to decide. Dorsey is not a guy I want to see twice a year.
#6 New York Jets -- DE Vernon Gholston, Ohio State -- A pick Jets fans actually didn't boo. Gholston is a stud, plain and simple. With Vilma and Robertston gone, Gholston fills a big need along the defensive line. As a LB in the 3-4, it will remain to be seen if Gholston can be a consistent force. There is no doubting the athleticism, however, and with Ryan and McFadden off the board Gholston is the best available.
New England Patriots -- Not a surprise. The Saints have made a trade, moving up to #7. Pats get 1st and 3rd, Saints get 1st and 5th.
#7 New Orleans Saints -- DT Sedrick Ellis -- The Saints really wanted Dorsey. To them, Ellis is the next best thing. The Saints needed to add talent to the D-Line and were able to do it.
#8 Jacksonville Jaguars -- Another trade, with the Jags moving up to #8. And the pick....DE Derrick Harvey, Florida -- Chris, from BigCatCountry , loves the pick. The Jags, if they are going to take that next step needed to shake things up a bit. A colossal move up into the Top 10 nets the Jags the pass-rusher they are going to need to get after Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. When asked for a comment, Chris could only muster "F***"
#9 Cincinnati Bengals -- LB Keith Rivers -- The Bengals really wanted Ellis or Dorsey, but with both of them gone, and the Jags moving up to get Harvey, the Bengals were happy to take Rivers off teh board at #9.

Anybody else chilly
Cause I am feeling a draft :) (terrible pun I know)
Just heard a rumor that Baltimore may be trying to move up to #2 to get Ryan before Atlanta can. Which of course also means that Atlanta may try and swap with St Louis as well. Or it could all be smoke. Kinda an unexpected consequence of delaying the start time to 3 pm.
That was an awful way to start!!!
Now that the cat is out of the bag for the Falcons, I have a feeling the Ravens are scrambling…

If the Ravens do switch, then the Raiders and Crazy Al will get
Chris Long…no way crazy Al passes him up. The guy is stuck in the stone age. :)
Last year's draft thread
Is here if anyone has some time to kill. I have not gone back to see if I am a genius or an idiot
hmm...
I bet the Falcoholic’s webpage will freak out. When I did the mock pick for our mock draft here at MHR, none of them wanted Matt Ryan. lol
I know we all love Chris Berman, but watch NFL Nework's draft coverage
and support good ole TD. They got Roger Goddell on right now being interviewed…
Ahhhh yeah
just got back from the store. I’ve got two pounds of various flavored wings and 3 medium pizzas of varying toppings sitting here. Beverages are already scattering and I’m not too happy I have to miss another Avs game playoff game, but the draft is my Christmas. I am SO ready for this.
Time for some OMNOMNOMZ
I'm already buzzin'
I just heard about a guy named Joe Flacco…he sounds like a real tough dude, but raw. What round is he projected?
I was lucky enough
to watch Flacco play…I think twice at Delaware. He looks good, but playing against low level competition is an obvious downside. As for what round, he seems to be sitting in that race for second QB drafted, so late first, early second seems likely.

damn, I got his named mixed up with someone else. lol
Joe Flacco is a quarterback…dur, I was talking about Mike Pollack. aye! Sorry…obviously I don’t want to draft a QB!!! lol
lolol
I was confused, too. I was thinking, “Zap, all the draft stuff you’ve delved into, how did you overlook Flacco??”
good laughs all around. Gonna be an exciting day.

Howdy ho fair brethren. I’m about to jump out of my skin!!!
And WELCOME TO MHR!
Who do you think we’re taking? I am begging for Mendenhall, but if Styg50 is right then we’re taking a dang OL.
Guru, did you drink lots of water so you
have the voice required to BOO really loud for me when the Broncos select friggin’ Clady? ;)
Make sure
to Boo from the back of the throat, not “beee” or “biiii”, but a deep throaty b-o-o-o-o…

I'll take Stewart
but the ankle injuries in college bother me. Mendenahll looks nice but he needs to quit swinging the ball around when he runs like its a flava-flav clock….

a flava-flav joke, already? Things are off to a SMOKIN start, aren’t they? I like Mendenhall pretty equally, but if I HAD to choose, it would be Stewart.

My last minute thoughts/hopes
With all the offseason moves, I don’t see any gaping holes in the starting lineup. In fact, at any position we would draft a player we already have a player with the potential to be a solid starter. The problem is that in many cases we have not seen enough of that player to know if the potential will be realized.
So I say trade up for Sedrick Ellis or trade the pick away and try to pick up a first rounder next year.
In the mock...
I listed was hoping for Mendenhall as well. My #1 scenario was trading up for Ellis. My #2 was trading back with someone wanting Harvey. My #3 was taking Harvey for ourselves.
I have recently fantasized about trade scenarios. I’m superstitious so I don’t post all my draft wishes. But my craziest, least likely scenario was to trade way down. As in out of the first round entirely. Dreaming that Ryan would slide past the Ravens (I can dream, can’t I?) we take two seconds and a third from the Falcons for the 12. Then we get Cherilous, L. Jackson (USC), J. Mayo, and Earl Bennett in that order. This is barely possible in Madden, much less real life. But hey, its my fantasy.
Guruuuuuuuuu. Wouldn’t spend my draft day anywhere else. BTW – LOVE the new set up.
Hey everybody!
Let’s get this draft show on the road! Zap, good to see that you didn’t pass out or have a heart attack with excitement.
Mountains, forest, sea: these render man fierce, but yet do not destroy the man.
by Jeremy Bolander on Apr 26, 2008 12:47 PM MDT reply actions
You just have to make it to #42
You are probably safe to pass out after that until tomorrow.
I just saw that they are starting at 9 am tomorrow. I was briefly thinking of heading into NYC for Day 2, but not that early :) I will be lucky to wake up for the first pick of the third round.
9am EASTERN?!?!?
crapola…6am on a sunday sucks butt! Oh wait, we don’t have a third round pick…ha! I can sleep in to 7am probably. ;)
But can you risk missing a trade?
Wasn’t Denver in a pretty similar situation last year for day 2? Had to wait to make their first pick but then traded up to grab Marcus Thomas
arghhh
I hope they don’t go all NBA Dratf on us and start revealing the picks before they’re made. That would ruin the entire thing…
Seriously
the NBA Draft is always soooo lame. Like when they have players THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN TRADED donning the caps of the team that traded them. What is that?? It’s similar to the Eli Manning poutfest a few years ago.
by A.J. Haefele on Apr 26, 2008 12:49 PM MDT up reply actions
Keep in mind
that teams can still trade up for the player. The faders need to be watched very closely.

Dang...
Jake Long is a big dude…he made everyone else on stage look like jungle monkeys standing next to the King Gorilla.
I take solace knowing that top 5 picks rarely help teams win championships….otherwise the Raiders, Lions, Cardinals, and other NFL pariahs would be the best teams in the league.
The scary thing is that
I’d look like a jungle monkey standing next to any of those guys on the stage…lol
Like a magilla gorilla?

Here's a suggestion everybody
keep the main MHR page open in another window if you can, and be ready to post up fanshots and fanposts, as well as to read them as they are posted. I’m sure everybody will be able to round up some video of our guys, or find some cool links and stuff. Plus when this thread gets big enough we will probably open a new thread to keep the commenting going.
Be sure let everybody know if you are putting a post or fanshot up on the main page so we can check it out, and as always be kind and gracious if new members come around today. I know you guys would do that without being prompted, but I just wanted to remind everybody what kind of day the draft was.

I was already planning on that
Had youtube open ready to copy and paste code from Clady, Williams, Mendenahll, Ellis…but no doubt it will be none of those guys and I’ll end up having to do a new search
I knew you
would be leading the charge, but where’s phantom? Between the two of you guys we’ll have all the shots and posts we can handle!!! :)

My only complaint about 2.0 so far
Is that the posts don’t auto-refresh when updated. So you need to manually refresh to see the Guru’s updates.
My apologies in advance
for being very talkative. This is my favorite day of the year and it’s great to spend it with fellow draftniks. I’ve kept real, real quiet all “reloading season” about the draft, but I’ve soaked in all the opinions and thoughts and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It was like training camp and today/tomorrow is the Super Bowl. Under one minute, omg, I’m freaking out.
It's 252
Would be 256 (7 rounds, plus 32 compensatory) except there were two picks forfeited (Pats and SF) and two picks used in the supplemental draft
very nice
thanks. I was genuinely curious about that, heh.
by A.J. Haefele on Apr 26, 2008 1:07 PM MDT up reply actions
Hmmm
I think Jake Long can eat Goodell.
Also, MattR, I love the picture. Old school logo is awesome.
Mostly just AFC East picks
and ironically, the Jets get booed the worst….by Jets fans.
by A.J. Haefele on Apr 26, 2008 1:08 PM MDT up reply actions
those jets fans...
show their lack of class every year
yeah really...
...they don’t have to boo.
There is nothing you cannot be, there is nothing you cannot do. There is nothing you cannot have.
I think it is actually pretty evenly split
Jets fans have a history of (justly) booing some terrible first round picks in the 80’s and 90’s (the Guru posted a video a few days ago). So now people just associate booing at the draft with Jets fans. You will hear some booing for the NFC East teams. But the Pats will be the loudest as they get it from both Jets and Giants fans.
Looks like the Danes are
in the House!! Awesome pictures guys!
What time is it there for you?

For the Danes
Half the booing will be because of the New York – Boston sports rivalry, which is why Matt Ryan heard some boos as he was announced (he went to college at Boston College)
They Could Stand Pat.
And take a CB or OT, but I think they could def trade down.
Please check out my blog at http://thefulldeck.blogspot.com/ , now redesigned and recommited!
I think it will be McFadden
but a trade is not out of the question. I have thoroughly enjoyed the raidettes draft the last few years. Hope they surprise everybody and take a corner….

Chiefs Trade Down?
I could see them talking to Cincy, NOLA and us about moving up for Dorsey. They could target a top CB or OT at the lower picks for better value and add further depth to their draft overall.
Please check out my blog at http://thefulldeck.blogspot.com/ , now redesigned and recommited!
My question is
what’s the motivation for one of those teams to move up when they can sit back and wait for them to fall? If Dorsey slides past KC, Cincy especially probably wouldn’t have much reason to move up.
by A.J. Haefele on Apr 26, 2008 1:31 PM MDT up reply actions

but I like Ellis better. We have motivation to move up, I agree, but would KC deal with us?

I know this much, we better get serious about run defense. Tomlinson, McFadden, Johnson.
Robertson should help
I love that trade. Especially if the latest report that I read is true – that we give up a third rounder if he plays in more than 65% of plays otherwise we give the Jets nothing.
I want Robertson AND Ellis can I be greedy?

And
the extra picks they would get from us might facilitate a trade back into the first round for Flacco or Henne.
This seems to make a WHOLE lot of sense…

As did I
and I think Dallas, if they can’t trade one of their picks for Roy Williams, is the perfect dance partner at 22, especially if Baltimore is willing to give up next year’s first rounder.

I have an SI article from a few years back advocating TD’s HOF candidacy. I think he should be in, but he’s my favorite Bronco ever, so you know…

So no one thinks the Jets take the top CB just to piss off
the Patriots who are looking to draft the top CB? lol
Mangini used to be considered pretty smart
so its hard to say…

Pats.
They don’t typically take CB early, but they definitely could. I think they look to trade down if they can.

Or RB either...

Ghoulston seems to be a good fit for the Jets
plus he owned Jake Long in their heads up match ups. ;)
Looks like most of the Jets fans were happy
I am betting 10-1 that Falcons fans everywhere are still pissed about their pick. :)
Sedrick Ellis.
To either Cincy or NOLA. If the Pats do pick there, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Keith Rivers
Please check out my blog at http://thefulldeck.blogspot.com/ , now redesigned and recommited!
I think
if Cincy somehow passes on Ellis (not gonna happen), New Orleans might hold off in favor of a corner. Their corners just BLEW last year…
Jason David
didn’t seem to workout so well for them, did he?

gonna stick with my pick

Pats do a lot with a little at LB
But they need to address it. Rivers it will be.

I wouldnt be shocked
but I they lost too much at CB

My issue
is that the Pats have been surviving with the Ellis Hobbs and Randall Gays of the world, meaning they haven’t needed to have great defensive backs because of a good scheme and a stellar front 7. I think they stick with that formula and start to rebuild the LB.

The bigger question is....
what the hell does Baltimore do? I see no needs at their #8 position…if we trade up, it’s with them. If they do not trade back, then I think they draft Clady.
Hi everybody
I’m here until after Denver’s first pick, then I’m heading out to my favorite sports bar. (No TV. Long story) So leep me up to date till then, okay?

I think he means
nobody to trade up for at this point. We can sit back and wait for the chips to fall.

I called it up top, but it still sucks.

Yes!
though I don’t see it as a huge difference.

Derrick Harvey.

Id be okay with that

by Jon Tollerud on Apr 26, 2008 1:55 PM MDT up reply actions
they traded up
There is nothing you cannot be, there is nothing you cannot do. There is nothing you cannot have.
I'm noticing
that Clady, Williams, Mendenhall,, and Stewart are all still on the board, so since I didn’t really expect Ellis to fall this far anyway . . .

It's harvey
This has been a predictable draft thus far :( Hopefully someone goes crazy and changes it…that someone could be DENVER!
They're On The Cusp.
He’s a local kid with great upside and their an elite pass rusher away from competing for an SB

A little bit.
but they don’t have many holes, so they can afford the risk.

Oakland did it
and everyone knows the 4 running back system is going to be the new thing soon.
by A.J. Haefele on Apr 26, 2008 2:00 PM MDT up reply actions
Well
with the ravens moving down its key they wanted Ryan, now theyre out and picking up picks for a later qb.
Cromartie...
Or they could trade down AGAIN!
Please check out my blog at http://thefulldeck.blogspot.com/ , now redesigned and recommited!
Good trade for both NO and NE
NO gave up a 3rd and got back a 5th to move up from 1- to 7. It’s possible that our lack of a third came back to haunt us
Really???
You had the Jags trading up this far for Derrick Harvey?!

I wonder
if a player has ever hung up on a team after telling them to stick it. How epic would that be for a player to do that to Oakland?

could you imaginge if DMC said that?

I mean, I want them to have a camera in there when the Lions draft DeSean Jackson and you can see him mouth “screw you guys” and hangs up, then realizes a camera is on him.

It will be funny
if Carolina, Chicago or maybe even KC have Flacco higher than most people think… and screw over Baltimore
Ravens.
Looks like they got a decent haul for their pick

There is nothing you cannot be, there is nothing you cannot do. There is nothing you cannot have.
Trading down is still an option
boys, although maybe not that great of an option, but it’s still there.
No worries Zap
I think a RB will have more short term impact anyways.
