Nope Jake Long was the wrong pick.
He was still better to this point than Tunsil can dream to be
I disagree, Long was the right pick.
You take the best football player available when you don't believe in the QB (Melty Ice), I also think the Giants were correct in taking Saquon last year over Scam Darnold or anyone else at that spot, time will tell.
4 pro bowls in his first 4 years for Long, including a first and second team all pro. Injuries are obviously hard to predict, and had Long stayed healthy I absolutely believe he would have had a better career than Melty Ice so he was the right pick at the time of the selection.
People also forget how bad our oline was before Long was selected, no chance we make the playoffs in 08 with Ryan (sadly one of my finest memories as a Dolfan) and I would have lmao at watching this fan base push Melty out of town simply because he had no offensive line or quality coaching (and he's not a special talent imo).
Take the BPA, build the team up, and grab your potential franchise QB when the opportunity presents itself like we wisely did with Rosen.
Matt Ryan has actually had a better career than I expected because he didn't seem too special at B.C, but I looked and read about Long and projected Jonathan Ogden type potential.
Amazingly Long was even playing up to that potential for the first 4 years before the injuries started, I would take a Jonathan Ogden over a Matt Ryan even though Ryan turned out better than I thought every day of the week.
