So Miami is begining contract talks with Jake Long. I'm sure we can expect them to enter into talks with Chris Long as well as Matt Ryan and Vernon Gholston. I really thought the Dolphins would go with Chris Long but as it stands right now Jake Long seems to be the front runner. If I had to give odds as to who the Dolhpins will select it'd look like this: Jake Long 2/1 Chris Long 4/1 Vernon ...

I suppose you could make the argument that St. Louis doesn't have much depth behind Steven Jackson , but there's absolutely no depth in front of him. Rams quarterbacks and the 48 sacks they suffered in 2008 can attest to as much. Which is why the Marc Bulger thinks Jake Long would make sense as the team's No. 2 pick. And ...
