2008 NFL Draft: Open Thread
by BigBlueShoe

in NFL Draft
Right now, I am in New York with TheSportsGuru and Chris, covering the draft both at Stampede Blue and Mocking the Draft.
The Colts will not pick until much later today, and it will be their only pick today. The first day of the draft now only goes two rounds. As of now, Jake Long is the #1 pick and Chris Long is the #2 pick. rumors suggest New Orleans is trying to move up to get Glenn Dorsey. This is your open thread for the draft. This thread should AUTO-UPDATE with comments. Post your comments on picks here. I'll be posting updates from the draft here and on MOD.
UPDATE: I'm live at the ESPN Zone with Guru and Chris. Jacksonville just swung a trade to move up to #8, and Chris is freaking out! Fun times. More updates as they come.

They keep talking up all these trades
Ravens moving up to #2 to get Ryan. Or maybe the Falcons up to #2? I can’t see the Raiders going down, although the Saints really want Dorsey to stay in Louisiana.
I really want there to be a lot of trades, as the Colts obviously don’t pick for a long time. We need some excitement. Bring it to us!

beats the way the draft had been going
They had the top four picks “locked in” two hours before the draft

New Format
Amazing… 10 minutes is way better than 15.
I think the draft is going to start to get interesting now…

Boooo
Matt Ryan is a purer personification of the “clutch QB” stupidity than anyone. I can’t wait for him to fail.

Captain Intangibles
I love how Mayock completely dismissed his 19 INTs from this past season as “Trying to make plays”. It might just be he makes bad decisions.

They can't just compare him to Brady
They have to find an even more over the top way to verbally felate him and throw a Peyton comparison too.

Yea...
The Falcons better make some improvements in other areas or Matt Ryan is going to be the next David Carr.

Are crying. Ravens very much wanted Matt Ryan.

Falcons saved them from themselves
None of the QBs are great this year. Brohm’s probably the best.

They wouldn't give up a first rounder next year
And didn’t have enough this year.

Oakland
The Raiders HAVE to take Dorsey. If they don’t, Al Davis’ idiocy reaches new levels.

I don’t get the draft live here in Brazil. Any good site to follow it pick by pick?

Gonna stay here, but I gotta follow it somewhere else too or I’ll be all the time asking “Are the Colts on the clock yet?”, and I’d probably get banned. :)

Carl Peterson
is a tool. He’s the anti-Polian. I hate what he has done to the Chiefs. It’s hard to get excited about the Chiefs having so many picks in this draft, knowing that he’s an idiot.

If
Glenn Dorsey isn’t the next selected, then I’ll quit trying to understand the draft.

The Saints are offering the 10, their second round pick, and their first next year for Dorsey
The Chiefs are beyond dumb if they dont do that

wow...
Chiefs must have really had Dorsey high to turn down that trade. I bet they trade up to get some OL help with all of their picks.

They could still move Dorsey

Trade
Both teams were dumb there. Saints to offer it, and Chiefs to turn it down.

10th pick and a 3rd rounder for the 7th pick and a 5th rounder.

Mayock
His analysis and guesses are eerily spot on. He is either getting inside info before the pick is announced, or we should change his name to Warlock.

He is sitting with me. Asked for a one word reaction to the Jags trade, his response: “Guh?”

CRAP
Mayo looks better than McKelvin and Cromartie. But picking Mayo isn’t too much of a reach?

The Patriots just announced they'll be honoring the commisioner at halftime of their season opener
Those were some pretty loud boos directed at him. I didn’t know Jets fans hated Goodell so much.
