I'm going to be starting a series breaking down the NFL drafts from 2000 all the way to 2016. In this I'll list all the first round picks and surprise picks from other rounds. I'll also give my thoughts on the best selections. The draft is where NFL franchises are made, especially corner stone players that last 10 years on a given team, let's look back and see how all our teams did!
You can find the other drafts below:
2000 Draft
2001 Draft
2002 Draft
2003 Draft
2004 Draft
2005 Draft
2006 Draft
2007 Draft
🏈Looking Back In History: 2008 NFL Draft🏈
Well the first round was really weak here. I think maybe 3/4 players still play today in Matt Ryan, Jonathan Stewart, DCR and Talib. Well Flacco still plays just not well lolol. I think this will do down as one of the worst first rounds in NFL history, lets see what the rest of the draft brought us....
The 2nd and 3rd rounds were better than the first round combined! With the likes of Brandon Flowers, Jordy Nelson, Matt Forte, DeSean Jackson, Calais Campbell, Ray Rice, Martellus Bennett, Cliff Avril and Jamaal Charles! Seriously that's at least twice as good as the first round! I guess that's why teams end up valuing 2nd round picks so much! I should also add it's interesting as these players are now considered the "Veterans" in the league....Who remembers when they were rookies! Man time flies!!!
The first round was very offensive line heavy.

True probably makes for a boring first round! Some more talent would be awesome as well!

The 2nd and 3rd rounds were stacked tho.
