Draft Thoughts 2008

- Being a huge Dallas Cowboys fan, I'm thrilled with their top two picks in Felix Jones and Mike Jenkins. However, I was miffed when Jerry Jones kept trading down on Day 2. His wheeling and dealing had cost the team the chance to draft some of the receiving talents like Mario Manningham and Andre Caldwell, who were both available at the time.

- Jake Long was delighted to be drafted first overall. And he must have thought that he's living in a dream when the Miami Dolphins stole quarterback Chad Henne, Long's buddy at Michigan and one of the top QBs in this year's draft, with the 57th pick.

- The wide receiver crop this year is weak, but that isn't an excuse for the Tennessee Titans not to draft one until Round 4. Vince Young is desperate for WR help, but the Titans keep drafting running backs on Day 1 for the third year in a row. Perhaps they should consider converting some of them into WRs.

- Gutsy move by the Washington Redskins, who drafted two WRs (Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly) and a tight end (Fred Davis) with their top three picks, despite glaring needs in other areas. I wonder if the Redskins could work out a trade with the Titans ...
