It's draft time, and after the Cheifs selected Chris Long, the Rams are on the clock with the 2nd overall pick. Roger Goodell is at the podium with the Rams' selection:
Roger Goodell: "The Rams have announced that they have traded the 2nd overall pick to the BUCCANEERS!"
Chris Berman: "The Bucs have traded WR Ike Hilliard, LOLB Ryan Nece, and the 20th overall pick in the draft. This is a really good trade for who many believe they will select in Darren McFadden."
Roger Goodell: " The Buccaneers have selected: DARREN MCFADDEN, RUNNING BACK OUT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS."
Mel Kiper JR.: "Arguably the most talented player in the draft, McFadden brings a big-play threat to Tampa. He will offer a compliment to Kirk Plum's new West Coast offense. In three years at Arkansas, he carried 785 times for 4,590 yards and 41 touchdowns. He has exceptional acceleration and upper body strength."
The Bucs have traded for the 27th overall pick, they will be giving the Seahawks SS Jermaine Phillips, 52nd overall pick, and a 2009 6th round pick. And with that 27th overall pick, the Bucs select
DT TREVOR LAWS FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME.
Mel Kiper: " This is an athletic big-man that can go head to head with any offensive lineman in the NFL. He is very agile, and a defensive play maker. Heck, against BC, he had 11 tackles himself. I think this will be a great pick to complement Gaines Adams and Mario Williams."
