Well, kids, here it is! The 2008 NFL Draft!

Welcome one and all!

This thread will be for general Draft talk, as well as discussing our Draft picks as they happen. Thngs like "I don't believe we took Mario Manningham at #4!!!!" belong here. Arguments about DMC do not!

Separate threads should be made, and are encouraged, to have more in-depth discussions about the picks that are made, and the trades that will undoubtedly be made on Saturday.

Please do NOT start a thread just to state the obvious, like "Oakland just took Chris Long" (no matter how wonderfully happy that would make us all) or "Oakland passed on DMC! whootz!" These things can be discussed here, in this thread. There is no extra credit given for being the first one to make a post just to say whom Oakland took, though there might be a few "Captain Obvious" awards given out.

Unfortunately, since this IS a weekend event, the 'Dawggy will NOT be here regularly. He has some job type thing and has the unfortunate responsibility of working....again....on Draft Weekend. Evidently he's had to work on draft weekend for 12 years in a row and we all need to feel sorry for him! Lucky for you, Padawan Craptakula will be with you most of the day with frequent (hopefully) visits from Los Global mods.

The most important thing is that we expect a the same high level of quality and respect that you guys all give us to be given to the guys who will be checking up on you and to each other.

*IF* a troll does come along, DO NOT respond to their attack in any way. Just PM me and Global mod (both, preferrably), and ignore it. Remember, ALL FORUM RULES STILL APPLY, so responding to a troll with a personal attack will get you both a WARNING, not to mention you'll face the wrath of El 'Dawggy who will be a bit peeved when he makes his return to the forum.

We don't anticipate any problems, and we have a great group of veteran posters here so hopefully all will go well.

So, with all that being said, here we go:

The Oakland Raiders select:

1(4) - dmc
4(1) - CB Tyvon Branch
4(26) - WR Arman Shields
6(3) - DE T. Scott

It's almost like Christmas again Cool

Today we know that we will get somebody that will help us out next year. Michael Smith, who is a pretty reliable source of ESPN, says mutiple sources have told him that Chris Long is the pick for St. Louis. I know it's espn but he seems pretty reliable on all of his reports.

ESPN reporting Rams have reached concensus on C Long. Atlanta on the clock.

I hear Atlanta was not expecting Dorsey to get pass the Rams, so they've prepared to take Matt Ryan no matter what. So that means Glenn Dorsey could be staring us right in the face at #4 along with McFadden, Gholston.

I want D-Mac because he's explosive and dynamic, and I also want to see all the Jets fans in Radio City cry lol

We can all start praying for a trade down now. or maybe Gholston... basically anyone that isnt DMC

Well at least we can all be happy about one thing. He didn't go to KC. That would've been horrible having to see him 2+ times every year.
