Darth’s Turn..
I’m not as good as selecting as the rest of the media, but here are my best guesses on the top 10 players selected in the 2008 NFL draft….
(Who really cares for the rest of ‘em? I’m actually going back to bed after the 4th pick..)
1. Miami Dolphins–OT Jake Long, Michigan.
Easy call…or is it? HE’S GETTING TRADED??? Can’t they keep anyone?!?!? snicker..
2. St. Louis Rams–DT Glenn Dorsey, LSU.
I agree and I’m sure the world agrees….. the best defensive player on the board.
3. Atlanta Falcons–QB Matt Ryan, Boston College
Vick plays with dogs, so they need a replacement.
4. Oakland Raiders–DE Chris Long, Virginia.
I also believe if Dorsey or Long are selected by this time, we’re going to go with McFadden…The reason for this is clear. Al Davis LOVES the guy and told many people the exact same thing. Trade Bait? Perhaps….but only if we can get a D-linemen out of it.
BTW.. love the nickname: RUN DMC.
5. Kansas City Chiefs–G-T Branden Albert, Virginia.
More of a wall to help the bastard which is; Larry Johnson.
6. New York Jets–RB Darren McFadden, Arkansas.
PARTY TIME IN NYC! Hope he doesn’t make the same mistakes as Donald Strickland, a reserve defensive back for the 49ers, was arrested earlier this month in downtown San Jose on suspicion of being drunk in public. HAHAHHAAHHAHAHAAA!
7. New England Patriots–CB Leodis McKelvin, Troy
Asante Samuel gone..they address their need.
8. Baltimore Ravens– CB Dominique Rodgers, Tennessee State
They’ll always have a great D in my mind. This move makes them even stronger.
9. Cincinnati Bengals–DT Sedrick Ellis, USC
Don’t be surprised if the Raiders take Mr Ellis, if we trade down.
10. New Orleans Saints–WR Devin Thomas, Michigan State
Improving their Offense. I believe this team will bounce back from hell this year.
YAWN!!!!!!
back to my slumber….WHAT?!?!?! I’m playing Basketball this afernoon? Damn you gut, for giving me the inspiration!!!
Holla at ya again soon, Nation..

No disrespect Stack but Gholston can’t play opposite of Burgess, he plays the same side, plus he has the tendency to disappear in games (believe me, living in a Big 10 state I get to hear about, and see him play, a ton). We would either be platooning Burgess and Gholston while searching for a DE for the other side, or we’ll spend two seasons training him for the other side. If we’re going at #4 I feel that we need to draft someone who is almost a guaranteed starter, not a project like Gholston. I feel that Long and McFadden are the only true day one starters available. Dorsey, not so much. He allowed 208 yards to McFadden last year when Dorsey was the anchor of then #1 LSU, he needs a couple seasons to get going. But what do I know, I don’t have my finger on the trigger tomorrow lol.
