Current Pick: Oakland Raiders (4)
Welcome to the Armchair GM Mock Draft. There have been several mocks posted recently, but this one is a bit different because a different user represents each team. We can each do our own drafts, but we don’t know all the teams very well. In this draft, users have signed up to make the picks for a team that they know very well. Hopefully, this will result in a more accurate representation of the draft.
Feel free to comment and criticize the picks in the comments section, just as you might on Saturday when the real draft occurs. But, please, do not edit the page to change a pick, because obviously each pick will affect those that follow.
To the drafters:
1) Please insert your information in the same manner as the previous picks to keep everything neat. Post your pick, the school and a paragraph explaining your reasoning.
2) In order to be sure we finish by Friday, we need to follow this schedule:
- 1-7 Monday
- 8-13 Tuesday
- 14-19 Wednesday
- 20-25 Thursday
- 26-31 Friday
3) If we get ahead of schedule, even better. For example, if you are ready with the eighth pick when the seventh is posted on Monday, go ahead a post it.
4) Please message the next user after your pick is done.
5) Trades are allowed, but both teams involved must approve them. No renegade trades!
The 2008 Armchair GM Mock Draft
1) Miami Dolphins: Jake Long-Michigan
picked by Agent0
First of all sorry on taking so damn long. My school pulled some shizz and I didn't get to a computer and I want to apologize big time for taking so long. Anyways the reason I'm taking J. Long is because the Dolphins need to start building an offense and offensive line is the perfect place to start. With a quality offensive line, John Beck will be able to perform a lot better than last year. Long will have an instant impact on the team
2) St. Louis Rams: Chris Long-Virginia
picked by Bigpeeler
The Rams need Jake Long OT more than they need Chris Long DE, but if the Dolphins do indeed nab Jake, then the Rams will probably go for Chris. There will be offensive line help available in later rounds and grabbing the best pick while you can is only logical. The Rams do indeed need help on their D-Line as they were 21st in the league in sacks last season, and 19th in opponent’s yards per rushing attempt, with 4.14. Yikes. Again, this all depends on what The Fish do. Hopefully, Jake Long falls to St.Louis and they can start planning for their future without Orlando Pace who is battling both the injury bug and Father Time.
3) Atlanta Falcons: Glenn Dorsey-LSU
picked by Sd_superbowl
The Atlanta Falcons have many holes to fill. Matt Ryan is the pick everyone was expecting David Stern to call when the Falcons were on the clock, but the Falcons decided to surprise the fans of A-town. Seeing as Joe Flacco and Brian Brohm both could fall to the second round the Falcons decided to pick Dorsey. A guy that can be a game changer and help lead a defense. He is a dominant force in the trenches and hopes to lead this defense to bigger and better things.
Matt Ryan was to upset too comment on him falling out of the top 3.
4) Oakland Raiders

19) Cincinnati Bengals (From Eagles)
picked by Crackajg Traded by JuTMSY4
The Philadelphia Eagles have traded their first round Pick (19) and Lito Sheppard for Wide Receiver Chad Johnson. The trade was confirmed minutes after the draft started and both teams are happy with future opportunities. Chad Johnson provides Quarterback Donovan McNabb with the versatility and talent at wide receiver that he has not had since the days of Terrell Owens in 2004. With that the Eagles have positioned themselves to rise to the top of the NFC East.
When asked, Sheppard said the trade was amicable and he is excited to join a new team in Cincinnati and become a leader on the defense. Chad Johnson was the most excited exclaiming "That's my teammate, that's my quarterback!" and suggesting that Super Bowl Trophies are on the horizon. When asked what he was looking forward to most, Johnson was quoted as saying: "A chance to play for the best fans in football."
