Ten Top Prospects For the 2008 NFL Football Draft
1. Miami Dolphins- Jake Long, OT - 6′7″ 320 lbs.- Michigan . A two-time All-American American football offensive tackle for the Michigan Wolverines. Very strong and versatile, Long makes a tremendous amount of sense as the number 1 pick.
2. St. Louis Rams - Glenn Dorsey, DT - 6′2″ 300 lbs. - LSU . The most dominant D-Lineman in the nation and a quick defensive tackle. An explosive performer from the inside, Dorsey is a great pick at 2.
3. Atlanta Falcons - Chris Long, DE - 6′5″ 285 lbs. - Virginia . In a choice between Long or Gholston, either is a great choice and will transition well to the NFL, but I have to give the advantage to Long. Long is a solid senior defender and has taken his game to a new level this fall.
4. Oakland Raiders - Vernon Gholston, DE - 6′4″ 260 lbs.- Ohio St . The Raiders have the talent to possibly make a playoff push, and Rex Ryan would utilize a junior edge rusher like Gholston to his full potential.
5. Kansas City Chiefs - Sedrick Ellis, DT - 6′2″ 295 lbs. - USC . A dominant performer during his Trojans career, he is a great defensive tackle that can be a disruptive force in the middle.
6. New York Jets - Darren McFadden, RB - 6′1″ 220 lbs. - Arkansas. Proving yourself to be an elite all time back in the SEC is not easy, but McFadden accomplished this with ease.
7. New England Patriots - Leodis McKelvin, CB. He is a great athlete, scoring 8 touchdown on returns. The Pats have this solid pick up at 7senior quarterback
8. Baltimore Ravens - Matt Ryan, QB - 6′4″ 220 lbs.- Boston College . Senior quarterback Ryan would be a great addition to this franchise and Cam Cameron would build around his short passing attack.
9. Cincinnati Bengals- Ryan Clady, OT - 6′5″ 320 lbs. - Boise St. Flawless against WAC speed rushers this season, Clady has near to perfect form, he has smooth footwork, he ran traps and pulls with ease, and being a former defensive tackle he understands defenses.
10. San Francisco 49ers - Brian Brohm - QB - 6′4″ 225 lbs. - Louisville. This strong and experienced senior has the package to be an early NFL starter.
