THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY OF THE 2008 NFL DRAFT

The Good:

• The Kansas City Chiefs burned down the house when they traded Jared Allen to the Vikings, but they did a great job of starting to build it back up. Glenn Dorsey, Branden Albert and Brandon Flowers should be starting day one. Now they didn't take a QB so they must believe Brady Crolye is the answer.

• The Dolphins got two players that should start their rebuilding process. Jake Long you already know about, but Phillip Merling will be the one you should watch out for.

• USC had about 500 palyers drafted in the first 3 rounds. If I am a high school kid looking for the best college to get me ready for the pros I definitely noticed this.

• Players in the green room. No Brady Quinn/Aaron Rodgers this year (I was a little disappointed to be honest).

• The Miami Hurricanes who have gone 14 straight years with having at least one player drafted in the 1st round (Kenny Phillips 31st to the Giants).

• The NFL Network which clearly outshined ESPN's coverage.

• Offensive Tackles who were at a premium even if they were 2nd and 3rd round grades.

• The Redskins who actually had picks in the 1st and 2nd rounds and on top of that made solid selections.

• Joe Flacco, who should be thanking his P.R. people for getting him enough buzz to be a 1st round pick.

The Bad:

• No Wide Receivers taken in the 1st round (what happened to Devin Thomas going to the Bills at 11?).

• ESPN for their horrible coverage (sans Mel Kiper Jr. and Jaws).

• Keyshawn Johnson for wearing quite possibly the ugliest suit ever. This is the NFL Draft not the 2008 Pimp Convention.

• Chad Henne and Brian Brohm. Henne looked like he was ready to strangle someone and Brohm had that face like if I would have come out last year I would have been a Top 10 pick.

• Girlfriends of players who fell out of the 1st round. You can see flashes of dollar signs in their head.

• Aaron Rodgers realizing that Brohm is coming in to take his job.

• John Beck (see Aaron Rodgers and input Henne name).

• Jerry Jones for picking Felix Jones with Rashard Mendenhall on the board.

• The Ravens for picking Joe Flacco when they already have Joe Flacco on their roster. His name is Kyle "Garbage" Boller.

• The Tennessee Titans for drafting a RB when Vince Young had absolutely no wide receivers to throw to.

• The Carolina Panther for giving up a 1st round 2009 Draft Pick to move up one spot to draft Jeff Otah?

The Ugly:

• The Atlanta Falcons who have set back their franchise by 5 years with the pick of Matt Ryan. I don't care what team, what division, what climate or what conference. If you throw 19 Interceptions in 11 college games, you should not be the 3rd pick in the draft. That is the bottom line.
