2008 NFL Draft - Darren McFadden not sexy enough
NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
This draft stinks.
It stinks so much that the NFL has to be bummed.
You see drafts have turned into media events and this one has the makings of low ratings.
Is this draft low on players? No, not really.
Is this draft low on talented skill players? No, there might be as many as 12 running backs taken in the first 3 rounds.
So, swami, just what is it that you do not like?Well, the simple answer is that Miami has the first pick and would love to trade down, but there are no sexy picks that make trading up all that worthwhile.

According to ratings by NFLDraftScout.com, the five top-rated players are Virginia defensive end Chris Long, LSU defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey, Arkansas running back Darren McFadden, Michigan offensive tackle Jake Long and Ohio State defensive end Vernon Gholston.
McFadden
Hey, what about McFadden? He is fast and big! Yeah, but there are so many backs and only McFadden is seen going in the top 10.
Hey, what about a quarterback? There is always a quarterback or two that teams want.
The top-rated quarterback on most charts this year is Boston College’s Matt Ryan, who is ranked seventh overall by NFLDraftScout.com. But as a quarterback-dependant league stares at a draft ripe for trading opportunities into the top five spots, it is entirely possible Ryan’s name could be called earlier than his rating indicates.
So the real intrigue is who will go where, because the teams with the high picks need so much and these players are rated so close together.
NFL Football special comment There may not be a top QB, but there are plenty of talented players that will be excellent building blocks for these teams of the future.
