It's about time to talk about the 2008 NFL Draft

And hopefully, this year's class will be the new icons of football just so they can also cry on their own retirement press conferences.

From April 26-27, the league will draft the best college football players of the nation and give them the baptism of fire, so to speak, in the coming 2008-09 NFL football season.

Who are the best players to get in the 2008 NFL Draft? Let's start with the obvious one. There is no doubt that Chris Long will be the first pick this year. Chris Long, bragging an outstanding college football career, would be like a long lost family member for Bill Parcells in case the Miami Dolphins do get him as the overall No.1 draft pick.

Let's hope this guy will be a perfect fit for the Miami Dolphins defense and maybe, those guys from Florida would start winning games for a change.

Next we have Vernon Gholston, who has a work ethic that is out of this world. This dude has unbelievable strength, specially when you see him benchpress 225 pounds with 37 reps and do broad jumps of 35.5 inches.

You wouldn't believe it until you see it.

He is more machine than man. This dude, if picked by the second worst team in the NFL last season, that being the St. Louis Rams, will definitely help the team's quite miserable pass rush.

Jake Long at third to the Atlanta Falcons wouldn't be a surprise. Although Falcon fans are worried of seeing their team draft another failure like Robert Gallery on draft day, their team needs all the help they can get at the position.

The sleeper of this year's draft could very well be running back Darren McFadden. The Oakland Raiders just signed running back Justin Fargas, yes, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Raiders STILL get this guy to add to their already packed HB slot.

Raiders owner Al Davis loves to draft speed and the flashiest player available and Darren McFadden fits both categories.

If Jake Long gets drafted early, then the Kansas City Chiefs just might have to settle with Sedrick Ellis. In Ellis, the Chiefs are getting a juggernaut of a player, a powerhouse who throws defensive linemen like paper.

Who will win Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa, Florida? Sportsbetting.com has the very VERY early odds on that one people.

New York Giants 12-1

New England Patriots 5-2

Dallas Cowboys 7-1

Indianapolis Colts 8-1
