I think the Pats are so complete they could just reach for the best CB on the board and get away with it.
Keith Rivers seems like the best pick for them, IMO, but Cromartie would fill a need. |

The rich get richer. New England thought of their need for CB, but with the depth in the draft, the Pats realized that the wars to the Super Bowl are fought within the trenches and can wait to address the CB position later. With the 7th overall pick, the New England Patriots go for the BPA as opposed to need and draft the number one OL in the draft, OL Jake Long, University of Michigan. Long will start at RT, forcing the trade or release to current starter Nick Kaczur (you listening, Carl?!).
Somewhere, Tom Brady is smiling. |

That pick just pissed off Ozzie Newsome, considering there's talk of Jonathan Ogden retiring......

I bet if this scenario was real, the Ravens would consider trading up to the Jets. Jets know the Patriots won't draft McFadden so they still get their man plus picks.

Flopnuts isn't currently online, so we might be held up for a bit.
Good job getting 7 picks in less than 7 hours. |

Two things that I think have been unrealistic so far:
1. Glenn Dorsey will not go in the first four, I think. The knee is too much of a question mark for #2 money, and the only team in the top five that would give him a shot are the Chiefs. But I think it's possible that the Chiefs may have a pick of the two DTs at #5, and they'd be smart to pick Ellis. Leave Dorsey to the Bengals at #9. I don't think the Rams would choose the question mark of Dorsey (when they're fairly good at DT anyway) over the surefire exclamation point of Chris Long. 2. I'm doubting more and more that the Falcons want Ryan. I know that's the hot buzz around the NFL but I think he's more of a top 15 selection rather than a top 3. I think the Falcons have been married by the universe to this concept of "must take the #1 QB," simply assuming the #1 QB would be worth that high of a pick. If you're picking a QB that high, he needs to have it all, and Ryan's missing just enough elements to freak the Falcs -- I'm willing to bet they go Flacco or Woodson in the second. |

I'm basing my pick of Dorsey for the Rams on the report that most have said Dorsey's injury report is bogus and it's just a couple of teams saying it hoping he'll fall. Since I don't have access to medical report, I'm basing it on him having a clean bill of health, obviously.

I forgot. First year. FNG. Sorry. The organization is EXTREMELY dissapointed to see that Matt Ryan is unavailable. Brian Broehm is tempting, but too much of a reach here. With the 8th pick in the draft The Baltimore Ravens select Leodis McKelvin CB Troy Can't argue with going with what you know. Highly regarded as the best CB in the draft this is probably best player available here.

The recent signing of Odom plays heavily into this selection, as I believe it might signal that the Bengals are going to stay in the 4-3 base defense. If a switch to 3-4 would occur I would consider a versatile prospect like Phillip Merling. With the top corner McKelvin gone, and a no DT worthy of this spot, the Bengals select Keith Rivers, LB, USC

Now that the Saints have cooled off after having Keith Rivers taken a pick before them, they have a huge decision to make - and the first shocking move (to some) of the 2008 Draft comes now.
The BPA on my board also fits a need, even with the recent signing of Randall gay, who will now likely play nickle where he belongs. This pick brings athleticism, speed and great instincts to New Orleans, as well as the ability to help the special teams returning kicks. With the 10th pick, the New Orleans Saints select: Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB, Tennessee State The Bills are on the clock. |
