2008 NFL Draft Recap – Philadelphia Eagles take Desean Jackson

What a weekend it was for the draft! Actually, not really. With the exception of Desean Jackson's mini-slide (fall to the 2nd round), most of the Cal players were taken about where most draft scouts expected them to. By the time the draft was over, 6 Cal players were taken, and I expect a few more to sign in free agency over the course of the next few weeks or months (Robert Jordan, Andrew Larson etc). The Cal players drafted were: Desean Jackson, Craig Stevens, Thomas DeCoud, Lavelle Hawkins, Mike Gibson, and Justin Forsett. I'll be providing my thoughts on each of the selections, but thought I'd get the biggest one out of the way.
