Jake Long's dad spent 30 years working for General Motors, but the first thing Jake is going to buy with his new contract is a Ford truck. That's cold. With $30 million in the bank, he should at least buy a GMC and let it sit in the driveway. Just to appease the old man.

Asides Eddie Griffin’s Final Two-Round Mock Draft USC's Sedrick Ellis The draft is less than 24 hours away, so I’m cranking out my final two-round mock draft. Jake Long is cemented as the #1 pick, but past that, there’s bound to be some craziness on Saturday and Sunday. 1. MIA: Jake Long, OT, Michigan This one’s a done deal - the Dolphins signed Long this week, and he’ll be the first guy up on Saturday. Offensive line was Miami’s biggest need, and they filled it well. 2. STL: Chris Long, DE, Virginia The Rams supposedly want Glenn Dorsey, but Long is a much better option.

Top NFL Draft Offensive Tackles: Jake Long Goes to Miami at No. 1

coryh64 posted 4/25/2008 from mvn.com
