Jake Long is without a doubt the best offensive linemen in this year's NFL draft, and depending on how the cards fall could well end up being this year's Number 1 pick. ... [link]

Talking Jake Long
Published 4/17/2008 by Matty I <info@thephinsider.com> at The Phinsider: Front Page Posts
I've done this for some of the other potential #1 picks (Chris Long, Vernon Gholston, and Matt Ryan), so considering that the Dolphins are exclusively negotiating with Jake Long's agent right now, it's a good time to take a look at Jake.  There's a lot of info here so it's relatively longer than most posts.  And you will have to make the jump and click "Read More" to see the entire post. ...

Dolphins Sign Jake Long, Michigan Grad is No.1 Pick in NFL Draft
Published 4/23/2008 by Maize n Brew Dave at Maize n Brew: Front Page Posts
Looks like the Dolphins took my advice. The Number 1 Pick in Saturday's draft is now guaranteed to be Michigan's former left tackle, Jake Long. Long and his agent reached a deal on Monday night/Tuesday afternoon worth $57.75 million over five years, with $30 million guaranteed. What it means is next time you see Jake at Scorekeepers, make sure he's buying. Long becomes Michigan's first Number 1 draft pick since Da' Bears took Tom Harmon first overall in 1941. Apparently Dolphin's GM Bill Parcels has something of a soft spot for Michigan linemen. The Free ...

Some more insightful quotes from AJ Smith's recent press conference: On the draft; At this time we have four selections in the draft and we anticipate one compensatory pick from the league maybe mid-March. It’s a little light this year because of the moves we made last year. That could change, however, with some wheeling and dealing on draft day or before. We won’t know that until we move ...

Our running backs preview actually started on Wednesday with a l ove letter to Darre n McFadden . After all, he's the best back in this draft, by far. Yet this is definitely a deep running back class in 2008 and there could be several guys who end up being solid players in the NFL. There are even a couple of guys that would be elite backs in any other year, but get dwarfed by McFadden this ...

For one, South Florida cornerback Mike Jenkins fell out of the top-10 despite a pretty decent combine. But he did not fall too far, as you can see after the jump. [ Picks 1 - 10 ] 11.

If you haven't already guessed, I love the NFL draft, it is by far the single most entertaining day of professional sports that doesn't include an actual contest. While the NBA draft does showcase how abnormally tall men fit into obnoxiously ugly suits (see Joakim Noah in 2007) and provides my friends and I with several hours of drunk banter, the NFL draft is still the most intriguing.

There has been a major shake-up in the top 10. With the NFL Scouting Combine mostly in the books, some things have changed in our early first-round NFL mock draft. For one, LSU’s Glenn Dorsey has fallen behind Southern California’s Sedrick Ellis. Until Dorsey can prove the injuries are not a concern, his stock will continue to slip.
