Not many changes from the last one that I put out a month ago.

CheramieIII's 2008 NFL Mock Draft

Updated 4/20/08

1st Round

Pick Team Position Player Name School Brief Description of the Pick
1 Miami DE Chris Long Virginia Need a lot of defense and Chris is a lot of DEFENSE!
2 St. Louis DT Glenn Dorsey LSU Hazlett trying to save his butt.
3 Atlanta QB Matt Ryan Boston College You know they need a QB and Matt would be a good fit anywhere.
4 Oakland DT Sedrick Ellis USC Replacement for Sapp.
5 Kansas City OT Jake Long Michigan Protection for the QB will do wonders.
6 NY Jets RB Darren McFadden Arkansas He's going to make them a lot better on offense immediately.
7 New England (from 49ers) CB Mike Jenkins USF Samuel and Gay are gone and the rebuilding begins.
8 Baltimore CB Leodis McElvin Troy State Nuff said!
9 Cincinnati DE Vernon Gholston Ohio State 6'4", 260 lbs and a 4.58 40 time, this is a must pick.
10 New Orleans OLB Keith Rivers USC Will start immediately!
11 Buffalo WR DeSean Jackson California Need a boost on offense, say no more.
12 Denver OT Ryan Clady Boise State Cutler needs the protection.
13 Carolina OG/OT Brandon Albert Virginia Delhomme will be thankful for this pick.
14 Chicago RB Rashard Mendenhall Illinois RB problem solved. They'll take Henne in the 2nd if available.
15 Detroit CB D. Rodgers-Cromartie Tennessee State Defense gets better immediately in Motown.
16 Arizona RB Jonathan Stewart Orgeon Maybe a reach but they need one.
17 Minnesota WR Limas Sweed Texas Could be the best WR in the draft?
18 Houston CB Aqib Talib Kansas They need help in the secondary and this will just about do it.
19 Philadelphia DE Derrick Harvey Florida The Freaks back!
20 Tampa Bay WR Malcom Kelly Oklahoma Great speed at 4.47 for his size 6'4", 217 lbs.
21 Washington DE Calais Campbell Miami Great pick for a team in need of a pass rush.
22 Dallas (from Browns) S Kenny Phillips Miami Big, fast and can play cornerback too!
23 Pittsburgh OT Chris Williams Vanderbilt This guy is going to be good, REAL GOOD!
24 Tennessee WR James Hardy Indiana Great hands and at 6'6" not many can cover him.
25 Seattle TE Fred Davis USC Big target, combine didn't help.
26 Jacksonville DE Phillip Merling Clemson This guy's been moving up most draft boards. May lose one due to FA.
27 San Diego OLB Dan Connor Penn State Great addition and immediate impact player. Like they need more.
28 Dallas WR Devin Thomas Michigan State Wide Recievers are getting older, a lot older!
29 San Francisco (from Colts) DT Kentwan Balmer North Carolina I don't think as highly of this guy as most but he is a great pick here.
30 Green Bay QB Brian Brohm Louisville Not sure about Rodgers? The Pack isn't either.
31 NY Giants OT Jeff Otah Pittsburgh 6'6", 340 lbs, can open any hole you want.
