Thread: Numbers crunch: 2008 NFL Draft

No two NFL drafts are alike, but when looking at the number of players drafted at each position, the results can be similar. So what are the hot rounds for a wide receiver or an offensive tackle? We look at what the numbers say from last year’s draft.

Good stuff.
Now we can all agree the Vikings should take a WR.

i agree we should take a WR too.. but all the mocks i'm seeing lately have Nicks going before we even pick.. that would suck!!!

maybe they are looking at Loadholt... and iglasies.. i don't think he's very good.. but he will prob be ther in the second round unfortunately for us...

Pretty good article explaining the way teams think about their approach to drafting players, and how the talent level at any position could affect the draft.

Damn, nice catch, I wasn't even thinking about him.
Value, on most boards is in the late 3rd early 4th.

This one (its free) has him in the 5th.
