I figured since Miami has essentially made the first pick already we may as well get this going.
EDIT: The latest rumors are that Miami is talking to several different players, so the first pick is still wide open.
Same rules as last time, give a brief explanation of why you picked who you did, and no one can make consecutive picks.
Hopefully we can lure Blackshirt out of lurkdom with this.
Round one draft order:
1 Miami Dolphins
2 St. Louis Rams
3 Atlanta Falcons
4 Oakland Raiders
5 Kansas City Chiefs
6 New York Jets
7 New England Patriots (From 49ers)
8 Baltimore Ravens
9 Cincinnati Bengals
10 New Orleans Saints
11 Buffalo Bills
12 Denver Broncos
13 Carolina Panthers
14 Chicago Bears
15 Detroit Lions
16 Arizona Cardinals
17 Minnesota Vikings
18 Houston Texans
19 Philadelphia Eagles
20 Tampa Bay Buccaneers
21 Washington Redskins
22 Dallas Cowboys (From Browns)
23 Pittsburgh Steelers
24 Tennessee Titans
25 Seattle Seahawks
26 Jacksonville Jaguars
27 San Diego Chargers
28 Dallas Cowboys
29 San Francisco 49ers (From Colts)
30 Green Bay Packers
31 New York Giants
GO! |

I'll insert my homerism and offer up the inevitable Michigan fan pick.
For the first pick in the 2008 NFL draft the Miami Dolphins take:
Jake Long - OT - University of Michigan |
|
Go Blue! |

My suck ass Rams need to address the line issues at some point during the NFL Draft, perhaps as soon as the No. 2 overall pick. Michigan tackle Jake Long is very much in play for that selection.
With the number two pick in the 2008 NFL draft the St Louis Rams select Branden Albert, Virginia
(BTW Long will be a Ram but just for fun I will say Albert)

Come on, at least take Clady or Otah and make it a realistic top OT pick.  |

That's better.

Trade-ups are becoming less and less popular, especially at the top of the first round, but a strong case could be made for KC trading up to get Jake Long. They began to fall apart when Will Shields retired, and WIllie Roaf left. I'm curious how the experts grade Jake Long against Joe Thomas. Because if Long has a similar impact, it'd be worth the trade-up.
Oh, and to keep this thing going, the Atlanta Falcons decide to forego addressing more pressing needs by taking the most talented player remaining in the draft:
Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas |
|
After acknowledging that he was desperate, Dwight said "people will resort to saying things they know aren't true when they are desperate." That about sums it up! |

The Oakland Raiders select...I SO want to take a K here...
Chris Long - DE - Virginia
Personally, I think KC's needs are too deep to give up picks to trade up, so that means they'll probably try to do it. |

If McFadden slips to No. 4, is it a foregone conclusion that Al Davis takes him, even though the raiders have Justin Fargas and Dominic Rhodes? I think it happens.
Although, keep in mind that Janikowski is getting up there in age. They may draft a kicker for him to groom for several years.
It'll be interesting to see if Matt Ryan can slip to Baltimore, and if he does, do they take him? If they don't, are the Bills next?

Well, how convenient that I show up when the Chiefs are on the clock.
While KC's offensive line woes have been well documented, that can be addressed in later rounds seeing that there isn't good value at this position. Since Brodie Croyle has durability issues and this team needs nearly a complete offensive rebuild...
With the 5th overall pick, the Kansas City Chiefs select:
QB Matt Ryan |

BTW, what the hell happened here? Did Tim re-pick for the Dolphins?
Oh, and I doubt the Chiefs trade up with all the needs they have. I think they'll stick with the #5 pick and not trade down either. |

| Yeah, I think it's more reasonable...no one is going to take Albert in the top ten. |

So who the f#ck went No. 1, Dorsey or J. Long? Guys, this is the "Official" "Mock" Draft and the shenanigans that seem to be going on are not representative of how a true "offical mock" thing should go. I mean you got the No. 2 picker saying he wants someone, then No. 1 comes in and says "are you serious?", so No. 2 says "ok, you take Dorsey and I'll take the guy you picked" and now its "official"? What a f#ck'in mockery of the mock draft! 
With the 7th "fake" Pick in the 2008 NFL Official Mock Draft, the Boston Patriots take Dominique Rodgers Cromartie, CB, Tennessee State

The Baltimore Ravens forfeit the 8th pick in the 2008 Official Mock Draft, as they had over 22hrs to make their selection but failed to do so.
Cinco in now on the official fake clock.

| Dorsey is off the fake board Mr. fake GM from Baltimore. Apparenty you forgot about the little fake "horse trading" you were involved in while fake GM'ing for the fake Miami Dolphins. |
