I would give Jake an A++++ as well.
Here is my question to you guys, especially the older Dolfans.
How does this guy compare to Richmond Webb at the same point of his career?

Has to be an A+

A+ and the foundation of the rebuilding process.

A+ he is the most important player on the team. Look at Qbs that do not have a LT they do not last long in the leauge. David Carr for example had talent and all the skills until he got to the texans and got sacked every 2 seconds. Long will make Henne look better then what would of been if we drafted Ryan who would of protected him Carey?

Still Perfect.. and You're Not.
Considering he has been a slam dunk pick at #1 and has made the Pro-Bowl in both of his two years in the league I'd say you couldn't give him anything but an A or greater. He came and filled a major need at Left Tackle and has been among the league's best. I love the pick considering Glenn Dorsey and Chris Long have been bust thus far. Sure Matt Ryan look good his rookie year but I still think Big Jake was the best pick we have made since Marino

Richmond was a pass blocker and a great one, but was not versatile. Webb couldn't run block worth a crap. Jake can do both, although I will say Richmond was a better pass blocker. Webb had to contend with Bruce Smith twice a year and always did a great job keeping Dan alive even when everyone in the stands knew we were going to pass the ball at least 30 times a game.
Jake is a better all around player than Richmond was but Richmond was better at pass blocking and since that is all we did back then Richmond was a better fit for that team and Jake is a better fit for this one. IMO

Solid A.
I can't see him NOT making the probowl for a very long time.

Alooooooot more Jamarcus Russell's in draft history then there are Peyton Manning's.
Jake Long is a A+. He's everything you want in the first overall pick, an absolute cornerstone player and (pre-Marshall trade) the face of the franchise. If he stays healthy(no problem so far) and keeps up his production, he will be in the Hall of Fame after he retires.
Peter King made a offhand comment when talking about offense tackles in MMQB:
I don't think Matt is another J.Russell.
He sure isnt another Peyton Manning.
Neither is Jake! I think Ryan is closer!

Jake Long gets an S for me. That's one better than A+. The only time he didn't play so well was against the opener in Atlanta where Abraham killed him.
When we went for all those years without a stud LT, it was just the foam on top of the diarrhea soup we had at QB. Having a mediocre QB with a lack of protection is just a recipe for disaster.
I'm so glad they drafted Jake Long.
