Who was the number 1 pick in the 2008 NFL draft?
The Miami Dolphins picked Jake Long, an OT out of the University of Michigan with the first pick in the 2008 NFL Draft.
Here is a quick bio from draft day from ESPN.com:
Jake Long's not the best overall player on the board, but the Dolphins needed a left tackle. Some people say he's a better fit on the right side, but we disagree. He's fundamentally sound enough in pass protection to be a capable blind-side protector from Day 1, and while he's certainly not as athletic as Joe Thomas -- Cleveland's first-round pick a year ago -- Long is a better run blocker than Thomas was coming out of college. Long can play a similar role to the one Jumbo Elliot played with Bill Parcells with the Giants in the 1980s.
