2008 Mock Draft

Miami Dolphins- Sedrick Ellis- DT-USC- 6-1 285 lbs Was un-blockable at the Senior Bowl. Does not have ideal size but is simply a great football player. Only ran 5.24 at the combine


St. Louis Rams- Jake Long-OT-Michigan - 6-7 313 lbs. Great Size with Long arms. Can play left or right Tackle. Orlando Pace has had injury problems so Jake will become their left tackle for the next decade

Atlanta Falcons- Matt Ryan-QB- Boston College 6-5 220 lbs. Atlanta desperatly needs a signal caller with the sentencing of Michael Vick. Threw for over 4500 yards his senior year with 31 touchdowns

Oakland Raiders- Darren McFadden-RB-Arkansas- 6-2 220 lbs - Raiders get a player who will likely make an immediate impact on their offense. Good size and ran a 4.27 at the combine today on his 1st rund and 4.33 on his 2nd run. Gained 1700 yards last year.

Kansas City Chiefs- Glen Dorsey-DT- LSU- 6-2 299 lbs. Had 7 sacks and 12.5 tackles for loss to go along with his 69 tackles. Complete football player is great value at pick 6.

New York Jets- Chris Long-DE- Virginia- 6-4 285 lbs. Had 14 sacks his senior season. Great instincts and football smarts. Son of Howie Long is one of the safer picks in this draft. Ran a 4.71 and looked good in all the drills at the combine


New England Patrios- Keith Rivers-OLB-USC- 6-3 225 lbs. Linebacker with 4.5 speed and play in space. This pick addresses and postion where the Patriots have some older players. The rich get richer.



Baltimore Ravens- Mike Jenkins-CB-South Florida 6-0 200lbs. Good natural coverage corner with long arms and plays physical


Cincinnati Bengals-Vernon Gholston-DE-Ohio State 6-4 265 lbs. Had 14 sacks last year. Can be very disruptive as a pass rusher but also good at the point of attack. Ran a 4.64 and did 37 reps of 225 lbs. I'm thinking he might have moved up to the top three picks based on his combine performance.



New Orleans Saints-Aqib Talib-CB-Kansas- 6-2 205lbs. Good playmaking skills and nose for the ball. Had 5 interceptions last season. 4.48 at the combine with a 38 inch verticle leap



Buffalo Bills- Leodis McKelvin-CB-Troy 5-11 190 lbs. Natural cover corner with good tackling ability. Can also contribute in the return game. Ran a 4.38at the combine



Denver Broncos-Ryan Clady-OT- Boise State 6-6 317 lbs. Good pass blocker with big hands and quick feet. Can sure up the Broncos left tackle position for the next decade



Carolina Panthers- Dan Conner-ILB- Penn State 6-3 235 lbs with 4.55 speed. Dan Morgan was just released and my bet is the panther reach a smidge with this pick and select Dan Conner.



Chicago Bears- Brian Brohm-QB-Louisville- 6-4 225 lbs. 30 touchdowns and over 4000 yards last season. Knows the game and has a quick release.



Detroit Lions- Jonathan Stewart-RB-Oregon- 5-11 235 lbs Kevin Jones probably is not the answer to the running game in Detroit. Steward is a complete back with speed, power, and blocking ability in the blitz pick up. Ran a 4.44 today at the combine today on his 1st rund and 4.49 on this second run. Solidified his first round draft status at the combine


Arizona Cardinals- Rashard Mendenhal-RB-Illinois- 5-11 230 lbs. Edgerin James is getting older and his yards per carry is in decline. Mendehal has low center of gravity. Will make an immediate impact. Ran a 4.43 at the combine today on his 1st rund and 4.37 on his 2nd run. After the combine there is not doubt he'll go in round 1.


Minnesota Vikings- Kenny Phillips-S-Miami- 6-2 210 lbs 4.45. Big physical and the best safety in the draft. Can play in man and zone coverage.


Houston Texans- Jeff Otah-OT-Pittsburgh 6-6 340 lbs. Should solidfy the right side of the offensive line for the next decade. This fills a major need for this team.


Philadelphia Eagles-Chris Williams-OT-Vanderbilt- 6-6 320 lbs. I thought Runyan and William(tra) Thomas played at a high level last year but both are over 32 and this team loves offensive lineman.


Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Desean Jackson-WR-California-6-0 172 lbs. Legitimate deep threat with good open field elusiveness. Excellent route runner and a value pick at this point in the draft. Ran a 4.31 at the combine


Washington Redskins- Derrick Harvey- DE- Florida 6-4 262 lbs with 4.7 speed. Yes I am a skins fan and this is a postion I would like the skins to address. Cornerback could the pick at this spot but if Derrick Harvey is there I think the Skins will take him. Ran a respectable 4.8 with 31 reps at the bench press at the combine.



Dallas Cowboys-Dominque Rogers Cromartie-CB-Tennessee State- 6-1.5 184 lbs. Played well at the Senior Bowl and is moving up the draft charts. This is a need for the Cowboys with Anthony Henry getting older and possibly moving to safety. 4.33 with a combine best 38.5 vertical leap



Pittsburgh Steelers- Branden Albert-OG- Virginia- 6-7 315 lbs. With Alan Fanaca possibly leaving the team will likely address this need. Can play guard and tackle



Tennessee Titans- Malcom Kelly-WR- Oklahoma-6-4 219 lbs. The Titans need some better receivers for Vince Young to throw to. 49 receptions for over 800 yards last season and 9 touchdowns. Will be a good redzone threat



Seattle Seahawks- Felix Jones-RB- Arkansas-6-0 207 lbs. Shaun Alexander might be on his last legs. The Seahawks need to add some youth and talent to this postion. Jones averaged an amazing 9.1 yards per carry last season. Ran a 4.44 at the combine today



Jacksonville Jaguars- Phillip Merling-DE-Clemson 6-5 280 lbs. A complete defensive lineman. 78 tackles and 7 sacks last year. With Bobby McCray possibly leaving in free agency the Jags have a need at DE. Did not do the forty at the combine

San Diego Chargers-Chilo Rachal-OG-USC- 6-5 315 lbs. A solid all around offensive guard will upgrade the Chargers interior line

Dallas Cowboys-Devin Thomas-WR-Michigan State- 6-2 218lbs. 79 catches last season on 16 yards per catch. Moves up to the first round based on his combine performance. Ran a 4.34 forty.

San Francisco 49ers- James Hardy-WR-Indiana- 6-7 220 lbs. . Had 16 touchdowns for the Hossiers last season to go with 79 receptions and over 1100 yards. Dominant red zone threat and is virtually impossible to defend in the short passing game. Improved his draft status by running a 4.47 at the combine

Green Bay Packers- Limas Sweed-WR-Texas- 6-5 219 lbs. Another weapon for Brett Farvre. Deceptively fast with excellent hands. Ran a 4.46 at the combine and has solidfied his status as a late first round early 2nd round pick

New Engand Patriots- pick forfeited

New York Giants- Xavier Adibi-OLB-Virginia Tech 6-2 226 lbs with 4.55 speed. Excellent value at pick 31 and addresses and big need for the Giants. Ran 4.69 at the combine
