Welcome to Buffalo Rumblings' coverage of the 2008 NFL Draft! Buffalo Rumblings is your one-stop shop for all things Buffalo Bills, and today, we'll honor that billing. This year's draft is an incredibly important one for the playoff-starved Bills, so we'll be watching anxiously and keeping the conversations rolling all day and tomorrow.

The NFL Draft starts at 3:00 PM Eastern, and for all of the draft news pertaining to the Buffalo Bills, you've come to the right place. Enjoy yourselves at Buffalo Rumblings today!
Here's what you can expect to see as far as Bills coverage goes, and also some suggestions if you feel like adding worthwhile content to the blog today:

NFL Network’s Adam Schefter reporting that Chris Long will be a Ram and Matt Ryan will be a Falcon.
by Brian Galliford on Apr 26, 2008 12:38 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
It's on PFT, too
As is a bit about the Ravens taking a QB at #10. I don’t see that happening. Why take him there when they can take McKelvin and then trade with a team like San Diego at the bottom of the first and get the same guy (Henne)?
by Ron From NM on Apr 26, 2008 12:44 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
They’d be crazy to reach for a non-Ryan QB that high… especially when, as you mentioned, there is quality lower in the draft.

McFadden to Raiders...
from Profootballtalk:
RAIDERS TO TAKE MCFADDEN
Posted by Mike Florio on April 26, 2008, 12:45 p.m.
Well, the Chiefs are now on the clock.
Michael Smith of ESPN reports that the Oakland Raiders will select Arkansas running back Darren McFadden with the fourth overall pick in the draft.
The Raiders were able to make their decision because the Fins have signed Jake Long, and it’s being widely reported that the Rams will take Chris Long and the Falcons will select Matt Ryan at No. 2 and No. 3, respectively.
So we’re actually a little bit ahead of where we would have been if the draft had started at noon.
The Chiefs are on the clock.
So Dorsey appearantly falls to at least 5?! Will the Chiefs take him? Will New Orleans trade up for him? Could even the Bills trade up for him?! (nah, would be sweet though)
Gotta say, this 3:00 PM starting time has really backfired on the NFL.
John I.

Yeah… backfire city. There’s absolutely no suspense this year, which will make for a boring hour/hour and a half of viewing… bad move by the NFL.
The Chiefs will take Dorsey, increasing the likelihood that they trade up for an O-Lineman.
by Brian Galliford on Apr 26, 2008 12:59 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Woo Hoo!!!
Let’s hope Albert goes on an epic slide and makes it to #11 so the Chiefs will overpay!
by Ron From NM on Apr 26, 2008 1:04 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
For that to happen, the Jets would have to pass on Gholston OR the Pats would have to trade down. The Pats’ top two is Gholston and Albert.
by Brian Galliford on Apr 26, 2008 1:06 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah
what’s up with that? They have never broken news this early. Something’s fishy here.
by RabidBuffalo on Apr 26, 2008 1:53 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
sooo....
1. Miami – Jake Long
2. StL – Chris Long
3. Atl – Matt Ryan
4. Oak – Darren McFadden
—-
5. KC – Glenn Dorsey
6. NYJ – Vernon Gholston
7. Pats –
8. Blt -
9. Cincy –
10. NO –
11. Buf -
Players still on the board: Albert (OT), Ellis (DT), Rivers (LB), McClevin (CB), Harvey (DE)

An interesting question
How much of this is real and how much is the last gasp smoke screen? Could Atlanta have waited for the Rams to leak that they’re taking Chris Long before leaking that they were taking Ryan in order to entice the Ravens to move up for him? My prediciton is that at least one of the teams that has made their intentions known doesn’t intend to follow through and is hoping to bait someone into trading.
by Ron From NM on Apr 26, 2008 1:21 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
That wouldn’t shock me at all. It seems bizarre that all these picks are “official” now. You may be onto something here…
by Brian Galliford on Apr 26, 2008 1:23 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Got's to
agree. I’ve never seen anything like it. Completely opposite from a few years ago when Minnesota missed their pick and the picks started flying and nobody knew what the hell was going on.

Pundits
My guess is that the pundits will then whine about being hoodwinked and made unwitting pawns in the deception.
by Ron From NM on Apr 26, 2008 1:29 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Ravens
PFT says they’re trying to move to #2 so the Ryan at #3 spooked them into action. You’ve got to wonder if the Falcons planted that ‘leak’...or if it was the Rams. Or maybe Bellicheat just messing with the Ravens…
by Ron From NM on Apr 26, 2008 2:00 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Don’t know, but there had to have been a leak. Either way, I hope a trade goes down – I want all these reports to be wrong so that I can laugh at all these “reporters”.
by Brian Galliford on Apr 26, 2008 2:02 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I just don't
understand why a team would release who they want to take so early. There has to be some subterfuge going on.
ESPN is saying that Baltimore could dangle Terrell Suggs to the Rams to move up and take Matt Ryan. Hmmmm?
by RabidBuffalo on Apr 26, 2008 2:09 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Wow. They must be DESPERATE then. Hard to see that going down, but it’d be an OK deal for the Rams…
by Brian Galliford on Apr 26, 2008 2:12 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
OK????
It would be grand theft! Suggs and the #8 for the #2 pick? That’s a steal worthy of the Brinks robbery crew…
by Ron From NM on Apr 26, 2008 2:14 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Didn’t know the #8 was involved with Suggs… I figured it was Suggs and a 2 or 3. That’d be highway robbery…
by Brian Galliford on Apr 26, 2008 2:19 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Suggs
When I broke down the Ravens game I noticed that Suggs had a really good day against Peters. It wasn’t just all speed either. He bull rushed him all the way back to the QB on a couple of occasions. I don’t know where his contract is (Didn’t he get an extension not long ago?) but the guy is a stud.
by Ron From NM on Apr 26, 2008 2:17 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I believe
they had to franchise him

Looks like the Ravens have shot down St. Louis’ trade demands… too much. So it looks like right now that top 4 stays put…
by Brian Galliford on Apr 26, 2008 2:38 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yep
the Rams wanted Camden Yards, Babe Ruth’s Grave, and Cal Ripken.
Well, just about.
by RabidBuffalo on Apr 26, 2008 2:42 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Don’t blame them. Babe Ruth’s remains are about the only thing I’d consider if I’m passing up on either Long or Dorsey.

No pleasing some people
They could have kept the draft at 15 minutes per pick. Most teams used all of their time when they had 15 so most of them will use all of their time now that they have 10. Relax and expect the Bills to pick in about 90ish minutes.

May not even be that long. We’re bearing down on pick 4 already… unless you’re insinuating a trade down. :)

Definitely a possibility for the Saints. That’d be a great move for them too. If they’re not moving, though, they’ll take him or Gholston. I hope it’s Gholston – I do NOT want him in a Jets uniform.

KC's pick...
1. If you want the Bills to trade down, Dorsey is the pick you want to see here (so KC still needs an OT)
2. If you want McKelvin, a KC trade with NO would be best. That eliminates NO as an options for McKlevin, and the Cheifs don’t need a CB

Chiefs
They did great this weekend if they land Dorsey here. They get the best player in the draft, rip off the Vikings for 3 high picks for a 28 year old DE one strike away from missing a whole season and they’ll probably add a top offensive tackle w/in the next two hours or so…they did well in my book. I wouldn’t make the trade for the extra picks New Orleans is offering.

Gholston
Didn’t the Jets sign Calvin Pace? wouldn’t they both play the same position?

You need two outside linebackers, and they can rotate Bryan Thomas around. Their pass rush would be scary.

Jets
I wonder if the Jets will call the Pats and taunt them for 10 minutes before picking Gholston.
“We’ll give you this year’s first and second rounders.”
“Yeah. We’ll do that. This year’s first and second and next year’s first and second.”
“No, I said this year’s first and second.”
“Right. This year’s first but not second and next year’s first and second.”
“No! This year’s first and second.”
“Oh, okay, I got it now. This year’s first, second and third and next year’s first and second.”
“What?”
Think Monty Python….

If you’re looking for options, this was actually bad. The Bills WILL take McKelvin if he is there. I’m 99% sure of it. (I know, Jordan was 99.9% sure…)

Hope the Saints didn't give up much....
I hate how the Pats always pick up early round draft picks for the next year…. My guess is that the Saints had to give up a 1st from next year to get Ellis. We’ll see later what they actually gave up, I guess…
by Ron From NM on Apr 26, 2008 3:53 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
They only moved up 3 spots, though…
by Brian Galliford on Apr 26, 2008 3:54 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

gave up their second this year

Bellicheat drives a hard bargin. We’ll see in a little while what they got…. Of course if they got the moon it may help the Chiefs be generous if they try to get to #11….

I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that the Bills will take McKelvin if he’s there. I don’t think it’s my favorite choice, but I’ve come to grips with it.
