You know we are getting Jake Long That is a rediculous need that the dolphins have. If we don't get him then Vernon Gholston is the Best player available that we need he's a much better pass and bull rusher that Long, and he's younger, and he's more explosive, and he jumps higher, and higher and he much faster, and he's gave Jake Long problems compared to Chris long giving Jake long a good night of exercise and pancakes.
C'mon People It's Either Jake Long Or Vernon Gholston

B.Albert is so far and away the best Guard out there that it's a no brainer that we'll take him first overall. We need a guard, he's a guard = match made in heaven... love is in the air.....

People the Dolphins have scheduled or had private workouts/interviews with 3 players:
Chris Long
Jake Long
Matt Ryan
One of these three will be the pick, it will not be Ghoulston, Dorsey or any one else unless they quickly schedule a private workout! And don't say they are trying to mislead. Because with the number 1 pick the other misleading you do is to try to get someone to trade up with you.
Chris Long
Jake Long

I still think the Matt Ryan workout and supposedly high interest is a smoke screen. I really have no clue, lol but I would guess Miami is having Workouts with Chris and Jake because those are the two guys they really want and they are having a workout with Matt Ryan because they want to make other teams really believe they want him forcing a trade to someone like Atlanta who covets Ryan. Personally if Atlanta really wanted Ryan I'd almost give them the pick for free lol, no but seriously I would throw the draft value chart out the window and take like a 2nd rounder maybe even just a 3rd to move down two spots and still get one of the players I really wanted in Chris or Jake Long. Sporano's comments about Beck being part of the nucleus of this team just doesn't make me think that Matt Ryan is an option, but then again..... if they are trying to generate trade hype for Ryan that comment doesn't make any sense either, lol.

We've already had a workout with Gholston, :rolleyes2: so yes, he is still in the mix. It will be Either Chris Long or Gholston, forget the rest.

it is between the Longs and Matt Ryan i hope it is Chris Long though
Gholston can go suck an egg..
Miami would never pick him #1 overall. You don't pick a player at #1 who's only based on potential. And a player who has only played 25 college games no less.
Not to mention the deficiencies in his game. His hips stink, He has bad change of direction- probably accounting for him only having a measly 37 tackles all last season (even though he wasn't even double teamed!!).

They also met with Dorsey.

Yet he tied with Long for Sacks...and played against far better teams than Long.
Yes he tied him without being double teamed like Long was for most of the year... And Long did EVERYTHING else better than him to boot.

Hell, Gholston got 4 of his sacks in one game last year vs Wisconsin.. Against a guy who was a backup for a guy injured.
LOL.. Take a look at Ohio State's schedule last season. It sucked.

Aside from Duke, I'd put all those teams ahead of Youngstown St, Minnesota, Akron, Northwestern,Washington, Kent State, etc (half the teams Ohio State played).
The Big 10 sucks.. Eric Kumerow had more sacks than Gholston did when Kumerow was at Ohio State. hehe.. But really, the Big 10 nowadays is really overrated.
