For those that aren't aware, you might want to pay close attention to what ESPN Hashmarks Blog Matt Mosely says. Aside from the fact that he's a very good reporte with lots of leads and sources, Matt Mosely worked as a beat reporter for the Cowboys during th Parcells/Ireland/Sporano era, and he's got a pretty good relationship with Ireland and Sparano. He's wrote some very good columns about Sparano and Ireland when they came to the Dolphins. He and Ireland are alums of Baylor University, and they've even gone to watch Baylor Football games together.
Here's what he wrote in his first mock draft. It's nothing earth shattering, just considering it coming from a good source..

With the first pick in the NFL draft, the Miami Dolphins select Chris Long, defensive end from Virginia. The Dolphins are doing their due diligence on Matt Ryan, but they believe that Long is much more of a sure thing. Expect for something to "leak" about the Dolphins love for Darren McFadden any day now. They'd still love to trade out of this pick.
2. Rams-Jake Long, OT, Michigan, I know for a fact that the Rams are in love with Ohio State DE/LB Vernon Gholston, but not enough to take him here. Former offensive line coach Tony Sparano might make a strong push for selecting the Michigan Long, and it wouldn't be a bad choice. I just think GM Jeff Ireland and his mentor Bill Parcells think too highly of C. Long to pass on him.
