2008 NFL Draft

In New York the past April was the 2008 NFL draft. It was not a very electrifying event, but it was a very important one because it decides whether your team can win the super bowl or just have another disappointing season. There were many big name player picks in this year’s NFL draft, Like Howie Long kid, Chris Long, or Matt Ryan from Boston College, and the first round pick Jake Long who went to the Miami Dolphins. The big thing that happed at the draft this year was that it is was the fastest NFL draft ever.

The team that did best in the 2008 NFL draft was the Chicago Bears. They did the best because they got guys to fill in vacant positions. Their number one pick was offense tackle, because they had the oldest offensive line. Then the 2 and 3 pick were a wide receiver and a running back, the positions they had trouble with them last season. Then their next 3 picks were all defense players. All 6 of those players could be starters this year, because they should have been first round draft picks but most of them get hurt a lot. In total the Bear ran away with 11 draft picks. That was one of the most this drafts. That is why the Bears did the best.
