2008 Draft Results

The CFL conducted the '08 Draft a few weeks ago and with the number one overall selection, Snoopy drafted arguably one of the most prolific wide receivers in the CFL over the years, Sanchy. It was no surprise Armando quickly selected Zok with his second overall pick, a capable quarterback and receiver, though some have questioned his abilities after a knee injury which resulted in a considerable decline in his production the last several seasons.

But the most stunning selection definitely had to be when Nemo selected Roque Favre with the 3rd overall pick. Though he helped deliver the Eagles their first Championship and quarterbacked the team with the most wins of any throughout the past two seasons, no one ever fathomed he would be taken so high and so early, but clearly Nemo thought otherwise. And with the final selection in the first round Eman took former Bears Captain Chaky and said he would fulfill his destiny and take Chaks to the Superbowl.

When it was all said and done, the Saints finished with one of the most impressive rosters, at least on paper, but many question how their play will translate onto the field.

Another team that finished with an impressive roster was the Raiders, but despite all their offensive firepower, many believe their biggest weakness could the be an absence of a reliable quarterback.

Likewise, the Eagles have been the center of ridicule as they came away without any definite quarterback and stated they would attempt to develop a quarterback in their fifth round pick Juan or try to have a quarterback by committee.

Nobody was overly impressed or unimpressed by the Titans roster, so perhaps the Titans may posses the most balanced roster. The season will get underway sometime in August with the Titans opening up against the Eagles, and the Raiders taking on the Saints that same weekend. Pre-season will begin in a little over a month (with probably only one pre-season game), so by then hopefully everyone will have a little better idea of how their team functions and stacks up against the others.
