The New York Giants wrapped up the first round of the 2008 NFL Draft by selecting Miami safety Kenny Phillips.

The first round featured a total of 8 trades, including the Packers trade with the New York Jets.

Miami started the 2nd round by selecting Clemson DE Phillip Merling.

The 2nd round is now moving 7 minutes in between picks.  The new speed up rules in the first round worked.  The first round was wrapped up in roughly 3 1/2 hours.  Last year under the old format, the first round was over six hours.
