Hey, gang.  I'd like to get some opinions on this as well as poll votes.  What do you think of the Dolphins #1 overall selection of Michigan OT Jake Long? 

5's for all respectful posts.

Charlie, defense wins championships!  They should draft defense.  But hey, a stud offensive linemen to protect your QB's blindside isn't a bad move either.  Have a great day pimp.

I think that they picked the wrong Long.  Mark my words, Chris Long will end up being "The Stud" of this draft.

Offensive line is the anchor to the whole offense, all due respect to QBs. Without an anchor on that line, nothing else can go forward. If you have a stud running back making cuts 4 yards deep, he is going to average 2 yds a carry. If you have a stud QB making throws at 1.5 seconds instead of 3-5 seconds, you are going to have bad incompletion ratio and bad TD/Interception ratio. Getting a stud O-lineman early in the Tunas tenure was the smartest move they could make. getting him signed 3 days before the draft is just shear genius, and I am not a Bill Parcells fan. The Miami Dolphins could have taken a QB that would have not developed. They could have taken Chris Long and the defense would have improved, but they also would not have been able to score points again this year and this atleast Jake Long gives them a chance at improving on offense. Best move I have seen in a long time.

Excellent Choice.  He'll be Stud in this league for years.  Clearly the Dolphins need to be in re-building mode.  Re-building starts up front.  You need OL and DL and build your talent around that.  Ryan is a risky pick @ #1.  He has David Carr written all over him.  Chris Long and Dorsey would have also been good choices, but there is no way you can go wrong with the best Tackle in the draft.

He will be the cornerstone of a successful return to NFL prominence.

I like the move. When you are rebuilding like the Dolphins are, you need to start with a guy who will protect your QB for years to come, and Long can be that guy.

That offense was horrible even with Chambers and Ronnie Brown. Best way to fix an ailing Offense is to fix the o-line, Parcels loves big strong lineman and this is a perfect fit.  You protect your quarterback you have success its as simple as that.  The Adition of Justin Smiley and the signing of Jake Long is fantastic, I can also see them suprising poeple and picking someone like Sam Baker from USC in the second to help solidify yet another o-line position.  Perhaps a trade of Jason Taylor for a pick would help them on the defensive side as well.  Great Pick! To me Jake Long has been the best player in this draft anyhow.

It wasn't flashy, but as a Fin fan, it's what we needed.
