The 2008 NFL draft was the 73rd annual meeting of National Football League (NFL) franchises to select newly eligible American football players. The draft took place at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, New York, on April 26 and April 27, 2008. [1] [2] For the 29th consecutive year, ESPN televised the draft; the NFL Network also broadcast the event, its third year doing so. Of the 252 selections, [3] 220 were regular selections in rounds one through seven, and 32 were compensatory selections, [4] distributed among rounds three through seven. [5] As of the end of the 2018 season, 27 players have been selected to the Pro Bowl.

Contents

For the first time since the common draft began, no wide receiver was selected in the first round. For the first time ever, the first two picks had the same last name (Jake and Chris Long; they were unrelated). Also, a then-record 34 trades were made during the draft itself. [6] The number of trades was later broken in 2017.

As of 2024, there are only 4 remaining active players in the NFL from the 2008 draft class: Duane Brown, Calais Campbell, Joe Flacco, and Josh Johnson, although Johnson was absent from 2014 to 2017, from 2019 to 2020, and again in 2023.

Changes for 2008

The schedule for the draft was changed: day one began at 3:00 PM.EDT (1900 UTC), instead of noon, and consisted of just two rounds. Day two began with round three at 10:00 AM EDT (1400 UTC), instead of 11:00 AM. Moreover, the time limits for day one selections were reduced, from 15 minutes to ten for first-round picks and from ten minutes to seven in the second. The limit remained five minutes for all picks in rounds three through seven. [7]

The draft also marked the official debut of a new NFL shield logo, replacing the old shield logo which had been used since 1970, featuring eight white stars to represent each of the league's eight divisions, and a football rotated to the same angle as the one on the top of the Vince Lombardi Trophy given to the Super Bowl champion. [8]
