The draft is all of 10 days past, and already it seems hopelessly dated to declare Oakland's Darren McFadden the chic pick to be the NFL's impact rookie in 2008. And not just because he's a running back. Maybe more importantly, he's a running back who entered the draft after his junior season.

Sports Guy evaluates 2008 NFL Draft
2008-05-02 18:35:18

Last year, I evaluated who I thought had the best and worst drafts and I am going to do it again. In that year, I said Cleveland had the best draft. Although they didn't make the playoffs, they did finish the season 10-6; a major improvement. I also stated that Miami had the worst draft - no explanation needed.
