The 2008 NFL Draft is upon us!
I'll be covering the draft as best as I can today, with maybe minimal coverage tomorrow if I'm up to it.
Keep it locked here for some tidbits and rapid-fire thoughts on the future of the NFL...
UPDATE (3:07PM): As has been announced four days earlier, the Miami Dolphins have now (officially) selected Jake Long, OT from Michigan with the 1st overall pick. Right now, the St. Louis Rams are still on the clock and expected to draft Chris Long, DE from Virginia (and son of Hall-of-Fame Oakland Raiders DE Howie Long).
UPDATE (3:12PM): The St. Louis Rams have announced their pick and selected Chris Long, DE from Virginia with the 2nd overall pick (as expected). The Atlanta Falcons are now on the clock and expected to select Matt Ryan, QB from Boston College.
UPDATE (3:18PM): The Atlanta Falcons select Matt Ryan, QB from Boston College with the 3rd overall pick. The Oakland Raiders are now on the clock. (I still want Joe Flacco in Baltimore!)
UPDATE (3:28PM): The Oakland Raiders select Darren McFadden, RB from Arkansas with the 4th overall pick. The Kansas City Chiefs are now on the clock.
UPDATE (3:35PM): The Kansas City Chiefs select Glenn Dorsey, DT from LSU with the 5th overall pick. The New York Jets are now on the clock.
UPDATE (3:44PM): The New York Jets select Vernon Gholston, DE/LB from Ohio State with the 6th overall pick. The New England Patriots are now on the clock.
UPDATE (3:51PM): The New England Patriots have traded their 7th overall pick to the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are now on the clock.
UPDATE (3:53PM): The New Orleans Saints select Sedrick Ellis, DT from USC with the 7th overall pick. The Baltimore Ravens are now on the clock.

It's also been announced that, as a result of the trade with the Jaguars, the Ravens receive the Jaguars' 1st round pick (26th overall), a whopping TWO 3rd round picks, and a 4th round pick. That raises Baltimore's draft total to potentially 12 picks this year!
