Oops: Dolphins now talking defense with 1st pick in draft
Published 4/22/2008 by Steven Wine, AP Sports Writer at Boston.com -- Football news

Jake Long is a phenomenal fit for the bruising offense preferred by Tony Sparano and Bill Parcells. Long will fit in as the left tackle in this offense, or should at least be penciled in there for the time being. Getting Long in camp early is very important, as this is a new regime and a new offense for the entire team.
