Dolphins take the ‘Long’ way home

 Miami Dolphins
Choosing an offensive lineman as a top 10 pick in the NFL draft is hardly an exact science. While the Miami Dolphins probably would send their sympathies to other teams that had linemen that were more bust than boom, they won't be apologizing for the success of Jake Long, their favorite mauler from Michigan University.

Adam are you saying that taking Jake Long was a tough call that deserves props or a no brainer that does not?

The draft is a gamble and you never know how a player will turn out in the NFL. When you look at the potential that Steve Emtman had only to have injuries kill his career or the total bust of College superstar Andre Ware who totally stunk as an NFL QB. The line I was quoted once by a coach from the Cleveland Browns was 'HOPE"....We hope he gets it, We hope he stays healthy, We hope it doesn't go to his head, We hope he stays out of trouble, We hope he plays well. So, to have Jake Long start as strong as he has is a true blessing and we HOPE this is just a glimpse of a great future hall of famer.

I think the choice of Jake Long was a great one that deserves credit. There are very few no brainers in the NFL Draft and there were plenty of people who said to choose Chris Long over Jake Long. At the moment it seems that the Dolphins chose the right player, no discredit to Chris Long.
