Just a few thoughts on the upcoming NFL Draft…
The safest pick in the draft? Jake Long, Offensive Tackle, University of Michigan. Why? As a rule, the truly elite Offensive Tackles stand out. Long's talents stand out heads and shoulders above any other Offensive Tackle in the 2008 NFL Draft; not to mention, Long could be the fixture for the Dolphins' Offensive Line for years to come. Now on to the predicted top 10 picks…
1 Miami – Jake Long, OT, Michigan
2 St. Louis – Glenn Dorsey, DT, Louisiana State
3 Atlanta – Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College
4 Oakland – Darren McFadden, TB, Arkansas
5 Kansas City – Chris Long, DE, Virginia
6 New York Jets – Vernon Gholston, DE, Ohio State
7 New England – Chris Williams, OT, Vanderbilt
8 Baltimore – Cedric Ellis, DT, Southern California
9 Cincinnati – Dominique Rogers-Cromartie, CB, Tennessee State
10 New Orleans – Keith Rivers, OLB, Southern California
Do any of the abovementioned predictions mean much, whether it's for factual reasons, or, more importantly, for predicting who will actually be great pro football players? Heck no. But that's why it is so fun to predict.
