In 24 Hours The 2008 SuperDraft will be over...

That's right folks, the event I've been waiting 364 days for is just about here, and before you know it, will be gone. It kicks off at 2 pm est tomorrow, 1/18/08 and will wrap up by 5:30 pm est.

Tomorrow we'll have a live blog post updated with each pick and my thoughts. I'll also try to get some comments out of my fellow FCTP contributors. So check back early and often.

Over the weekend I'll digest the picks to see who made out like a bandit and who struggled. I can tell you now, if Chivas USA doesn't trade up or make something happen, they're going to struggle having only one pick at the start of the fourth and final round. Houston is also on their back heel with two total picks, the first being right before Chivas USA's.

Kansas City made a big move to relieve salary cap space and move into the #1 spot after the trade with San Jose. However, there are already rumors that KC will make a trade to the highest bidder. Interesting.

Draft day typically does involve some moves. Last year we saw Colorado trade for Greg Vanney before they moved him mid-season. Interestingly, Dallas used the pick received in this move to draft Andrew Daniels, who didn't play for the Hoops in 2007. However, Dallas could have picked Dane Richards or Ty Harden or Adam Cristman or...you get my point. Ives says he is going to play that game for an upcoming post, that should be fun.

So get ready folks. Get plenty of sleep tonight. Be ready to sit in front of the TV, the computer or at the actual draft if you made the trip. This one should be exciting!
