The 2008 SJ.com Mock Draft

Sorry, 'Beetus, got busy. Mendenhall is who I would have picked anyway, so good job, everyone.

 

I'm not really a general manager, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night, Doc.

 

A lot of sparring in the Cards' draft room. Five different players got votes.

1. Miami Dolphins - T Jake Long
2. St. Louis Rams - DE Chris Long
3. Atlanta Falcons - QB Matt Ryan
4. Oakland Raiders - DT Glenn Dorsey
5. Kansas City Chiefs - DE Vernon Gholston
6. New York Jets - RB Darren McFadden
7. New England Patriots - CB Leodis McKelvin
8. In a trade with Baltimore - New Orleans Saints - DT Sederick Ellis
9. Cincinnati Bengals - G/T Branden Albert
10. Baltimore Ravens - T Ryan Clady
11. Buffalo Bills - WR Devin Thomas
12. Denver Broncos - T Chris Williams
13. Carolina Panthers - QB Brian Brohm
14. Chicago Bears - RB Rashard Mendenhall
15. Detroit Lions - WR/KR DeSean Jackson
16. Arizona Cardinals - CB Mike Jenkins

The Kansas City Chiefs are on the clock.

 

I might have jumped the gun on you all a little there. I'll sit on my hands until the Steelers come up.

 

Cheifs can't be happy to see three OLs off the board

 

It's not a one-person pick. Everyone votes on a guy, most votes gets the pick. Feel free to vote on every pick

 

ohhhh.

 

I think they'd ideally like to trade down with the Saints and take Albert or Clady there Saturday. I could be crazy.

 

That's what I think too. I honestly don't think it would be bad for them to trade down to the saints, go OL there AND at 17, then think whats-his-name from Auburn in the 2nd round, Groves.

 

Well they need to get something back in the draft for the Allen trade. So I could see them going defense here if they went offensive line with their first pick.

 

Will the Chiefs just punt on first down this season?

1. Miami Dolphins - T Jake Long
2. St. Louis Rams - DE Chris Long
3. Atlanta Falcons - QB Matt Ryan
4. Oakland Raiders - DT Glenn Dorsey
5. Kansas City Chiefs - DE Vernon Gholston
6. New York Jets - RB Darren McFadden
7. New England Patriots - CB Leodis McKelvin
8. In a trade with Baltimore - New Orleans Saints - DT Sederick Ellis
9. Cincinnati Bengals - G/T Branden Albert
10. Baltimore Ravens - T Ryan Clady
11. Buffalo Bills - WR Devin Thomas
12. Denver Broncos - T Chris Williams
13. Carolina Panthers - QB Brian Brohm
14. Chicago Bears - RB Rashard Mendenhall
15. Detroit Lions - WR/KR DeSean Jackson
16. Arizona Cardinals - CB Mike Jenkins
17. Kansas City Chiefs - CB Dominique Rodgers Cromartie

The Houston Texans are on the clock.

 

Maybe I'm just higher on Groves than most people, but getting him early in the 2nd round seems like good value to me, and seems like he's an instant-impact type player.
