The 2008 NFL Draft took place at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on April 26 and April 27, 2008. 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, 220 were regular selections in rounds one through seven, and 32 were compensatory selections, distributed among rounds three through seven.

For the first time since the common draft began, no wide receiver was selected in the first round. Also, a record 34 trades were made during the draft itself.

2008 NFL Draft Video

This is my tribute video to Percy Harvin. It contains highlights of the 2008-09 BCS National Championship run of the Florida Gators; Harvin was instrumental in the team's success. For the past 3 years, he's been one of the most electrifying players in College Football. I know he's going to make some NFL Team very happy when they draft him.
