Official 2008 -Rob Reger
Pseudo-Mock Draft

Ladies and gentlemen, before I release my selections I would like to point out a few things. First of all, I want to make it abundantly clear that this is NOT necessarily who I think each team will take ( I call this the Detroit Lions Rule, because it is impossible for me to even fathom some of the retarded things that certain teams do). Second, it is not necessarily my rankings of the players. I took individual team needs into account. The list is quite simply a representation of what I would do if I were making the pick for each team based on who is left, who could be there later, team need, scheme, and potential best player. So, without further ado, here is my 2008 pseudo-mock draft. Enjoy!!!!

A couple of suggestions for trades;
--If I were Tennessee or Washington, I would try to trade my 1st round pick for Chad Johnson.

--If I were Minnesota, I would try to trade my 1st Round pick to Philly for Donovon McNabb. (Childress used to be his OC, remember? And Philly picked a QB last year.)

--If I were Dallas (especially if they get Pacman), I would package my 22 and 28 selections to the Raiders for number 4 and take McFadden.

--I think New England and Atlanta should work out a trade sending the Pats 1st round pick (7th overall) for all three of Atlanta’s 2nd round picks. (It works out on the trade chart). I feel both teams would do it. Atlanta should then take Sedrick Ellis, giving them Ellis and Ryan. New England would be getting depth with 3 second- rounders. Atlanta needs stars, not depth.
