NFL Draft countdown: Where will Jenkins go?
The NFL Draft is now less than an hour away, and I for one am very excited about the league shortening the time between picks from 15 minutes to 10 -- a nice streamlining by Roger Goodell that should leave less down time. The first round has been a six-hour snorefest in recent years, and this should get it pleasantly under four hours.

I'll be curious to see if George Selvie's name comes up as a potential name for 2009 when Mel Kiper offers his first look at next year's top draft prospects.
