The 2008CFL Draft took place on Wednesday, April 30, 2008, live at 12:00 PM ET on TSN.ca.[1][2] A total of 48 players were chosen from among 752 eligible players from Canadian Universities across the country, as well as Canadian players playing in the NCAA.[3] Of the 48 draft selections, 33 players were drafted from Canadian Interuniversity Sport institutions.[4]
Montreal forfeited their first round selection after a CFL investigation found that they had exceeded the league salary cap by $108,285 (the minimum for a forfeiture is $100,000). That draft pick (originally the fourth overall) reverted to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at the end of the first round as they were first in the order of waiver priority after finishing last in the 2007 standings.[8]
