Who was the number 1 pick in the 2008 NFL draft?

Answer 1

The Miami Dolphins picked Jake Long, an OT out of the University of Michigan with the first pick in the 2008 NFL Draft.

Here is a quick bio from draft day from ESPN.com:

Jake Long's not the best overall player on the board, but the Dolphins needed a left tackle. Some people say he's a better fit on the right side, but we disagree. He's fundamentally sound enough in pass protection to be a capable blind-side protector from Day 1, and while he's certainly not as athletic as Joe Thomas -- Cleveland's first-round pick a year ago -- Long is a better run blocker than Thomas was coming out of college. Long can play a similar role to the one Jumbo Elliot played with Bill Parcells with the Giants in the 1980s.
