Washington" align="right">Round two of the 2008 CFL draft is underway, and it started out with two running backs selected at 2.1 and 2.3. First, the New York Knights selected RB [bbd28e8c]Bill Reyes[/bbd28e8c] from Idaho State and two picks later the Boise Stampede selected RB [bbd28e8c]C.J. Washington[/bbd28e8c] out of Alabama.

To recap the first round, Tampa Bay was the only team with three selections and their picks were:

Three quarterbacks were selected, with Titone at #1, Shannon at #21, and at #31 the New Orleans Raging Horde picked [bbd28e8c]Aaron Henke[/bbd28e8c] from Notre Dame.

The most shocking pick of the first round was made by the Santa Cruz Privateers, when they picked kicker [bbd28e8c]William Lyon[/bbd28e8c] at 27th overall.

Ok Boys and Girls, can we say "rebuilding mode"?

Really dont know why everyone says "shocker" by taking a kicker at the 27 spot, highest rated player on the board and a position that can win or lose games. Besides the fact that these drafts seem to be weak every year after the top ten. Just dont get it.

i'd give the honor of most shocking pick to Fargo at #4.

Agreed.

Why is mine the most shocking? I guess we will all see after training camp!
