My 2008 draft early prediction and ramblings:
1. If Calais Campbell does not declare for the draft, I believe Tyson Jackson DE LSU will be the first player taken in the 2008 draft. If Campbell does declare, he will the first person taken.
I think it would go something like this:
1. Tyson Jackson/Calais Campbell
2. Darren McFadden
3. Brian Brohm
2. I think Brian Brohm is overrated. I think his backup QB (Hunter Cantwell?) is a better QB.
3. Is Marcus Monk WR Arkansas related to Art Monk?
4. Andre Caldwell WR Florida reminds me of every UF WR in the nfl. Forgettable.
5. Steve Slaton RB WVU will have fumbling problems when he get to the NFL.
6. All 3 USC Linebacker will be in next years draft. Out of the 3, I believe Brian Cushing will be the first one selected and will be the 1st LB selected in the draft.
7. Teams will think Glen Dorsey DT LSU has maxed out at 300 lbs and can not be a 3 down DT which will slip him to the early 20's in the first round.
8. If Tommy Blake DE TCU fall to the Rams pick in the 2nd round, then the Rams should pick him up. He will be a stud in the mold of
Leonard Little.
9. Adarius Bowman WR OK State reminds me of the bust selected by the Whiners in the first round a few years back.
10. These are the players I want the Rams to select next year in order of no particular order
1. Tyson Jackson DE LSU
2. Calais Campbell DE U of Miami
3. Brian Cushing LB USC
4. Frank Okam DT Texas
5. Tommy Blake DE TCU
6. Dre Moore DT Maryland
7. DeSean Jackson WR Cal
8. Chris Long DE Virginia
9. Red Bryant DT Texas A&M
10. DeMario Pressley DT NC State
11. Mario Manningham WR Michigan
12. Shawn Crable LB Michigan
13. Bo Ruud LB Nebraska
14. Marcus Monk WR Arkansas
15. Will Arnold G LSU
16. Matt Ryan QB Boston College
This will change as the college season goes on.:r
