2008 NFL Draft
Round 2 - the round of the WR's
#33 StL- Don Avery, U of Houston
#34 Was- Devin Thomas, Michigan St
#36 GB- Jordy Nelson, Kansas St
#41 Buf- James Hardy- Indiana
#42 Den- Eddie Royal, Virginia Tech
#46 Cin- Jerome Simpson, Coastal Carolina
#49 Phi- DeSean Jackson, California
#51 Was- Malcolm Kelly, Oklahoma
#53 Pit- Limas Sweed, Texas
(#55- Ray Rice, #56- Brian Brohm)
#58 TB- Dexter Jackson, Appalachian State
#205 Ind- Pierre Garcon, Mt Union
#217 GB- Brett Swain, San Diego St
#224 Buf- Stevie Johnson, Kentucky
Now, there are many ways to look at this!
#1- There have been many moments when Packer fans have seen DeSean Jackson rip it up and say "why didn't we take him?".... but look, if we did, then DJack wouldn't have beaten the Giants for us with that last-second punt return at the end of the year, which we needed to get into the playoffs.
And Jordy was gigantic for us in the Super Bowl. We needed him.
Plus look at all those other 2nd rounders.... so many busts.
A very interesting draft for WRs for sure. No WR went in the 1st round of that draft, and the Rams chose Don Avery as the 1st WR. He looked promising, but injuries stopped him early.
