    The guy will be a stud for the next 12 years and go to Canton. Rams will take Dorsey IMO

    Some have expressed that opinion. However, Miami's opinion is the only one that counts. They specifically stated they drafted him to play LT at the presser.

    he's not the single most athletic OT ever, but while his stock wanted to drop for a few weeks because people kept publishing that thought, he's able to play LT at a very high level. He'll obviously be good there.

    I guess they're not that much in the market for OL early on either from here on. They do have Carey, and they signed Justin Smiley.

    If he can play LT at a probowl level for several years then they definitely made the right choice.

    Agreed, that is why no one wanted to trade up with the Dolphins. A top ten draft pick is about like signing an elite free agent only one who has never played in the NFL.

    Yeah, Long will play LT, and I imagine be damn good at it. Dudes a beast.

    As for Anderson with the Falcons, no way Id get rid of Abraham, because Anderson stunk it up last year, and so far, has bust written on him. Because of that, it might make sense getting Long.

    does this keep Miami from using the full 15 minutes?
