2008 NFL Draft Live Blog

Here I will provide some quick thoughts on each pick as it happens and also some short analysis of every move the Miami Dolphins make. So here we go...

  1. MIA - Jake Long: We already knew this, I give my thoughts in an earlier post.
  2. STL - Chris Long: They could have traded but this is a solid pick. I think the 4-3 DE is a great position for him
  3. ATL - Matt Ryan: The right move to fully move on from the Mike Vick era
  4. OAK - Darren McFadden: Al Davis, what elses did you expect. They have a great QB-RB tandem, but will they have an o-line?
  5. KC - Glenn Dorsey: This is a gift, a great one for a rebuilding franchise. He will help stop the run in the AFC west
  6. NYJ - Vernon Gholston: Good point made on NFLN, he and Jake Long will square off twice a year now. Let's hope Jake Long gets the better of the NFL matchups
  7. NO* - Sedrick Ellis: They really needed a DT and they did a nice job of jumping Cincinatti
  8. JAX* - Derrick Harvey: They gave up a lot, but if they feel DE is their only missing piece from a Super Bowl, then they got a good one
  9. CIN - Keith Rivers: They had to settle for a different USC star, they are probably upset
  10. NE - Jerod Mayo: I thought they would go CB or O-line, but this is a solid pick. Their LB's need some youth and athleticism
  11. BUF - Leodis McKelvin: First CB off the board and a good one. He will help in the return game with Roscoe Parrish.
  12. DEN - Ryan Clady: He should help protect Jay Cutler, solid pick
  13. CAR - Jonathan Stewart: They must really love him, I think Mendenhall is a better RB
  14. CHI - Chris Williams: They could have gone QB but o-line will help their poor QB situation
  15. KC* - Branden Albert: He shot up the draft boards and is a great piece for their offensive line
  16. ARI - Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie: Great pick.
  17. DET - Gosder Cherilus: This is the first WTF?!? moment of the draft. Should have been someone else.
  18. BAL - Joe Flacco: They must really love him because they could have had many options at #26. He's a great prospect but is a work in progress
  19. CAR - Jeff Otah: They are rebuilding that power running game but they gave up way too much in that trade

*Pick acquired via trading up
