1st Round
1. Miami - 1-15 - Matt Ryan - QB - B.C.

The Dolphins have already added many defensive FA in open market. New boss Parcells will focus on offense with their early selections beginning with their future leader and cornerstone performer.

2. St. Louis - 3-13 - Glenn Dorsey - DT - LSU
The Rams will focus on their front four and Dorsey gives them a difference maker with early impact ability.

3. x - Atlanta - 4-12 - Chris Long - DE - Virginia
The Falcons are trying to regroup after a disastrous ’07 season and Chris Long is the safest pick in this draft class and a cornerstone of newly formed team.

4. x - Oakland - 4-12 - * Darren McFadden - RB - Arkansas
Owner Al Davis is always trying to make a splash and McFadden gives him star value.

5. x - Kansas City - 4-12 - Sedrick Ellis - DT - Southern Cal
The Chiefs defensive line has failed miserably in recent years and Ellis could be a difference maker here.

6. NY Jets - 4-12 - * Vernon Gholston - DE/LB - Ohio St
The Jets may look to add a bookend pass rusher for new FA Calvin Pace and Gholston is flying up the charts.
