Here is an excerpt:

1. Miami Dolphins -- Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College
Record: 1-15 | Needs: OL, DT, LB, CB, QB
Previous mock selection: Same
The odds are good that Miami will be stuck with this pick. After all, no pick in the top seven has been dealt since the 2004 draft. This pick should come down to three players: Ryan, OT Jake Long and DE Chris Long. By no means am I convinced that Ryan is the pick. In fact, if the Dolphins do not sign a tackle in free agency, then Jake Long becomes the logical choice. However, until there's word from Dolphins camp that John Beck is the quarterback of the future, Ryan makes the most sense. Ryan has all the physical tools of a franchise quarterback and -- more importantly -- he possesses rare intangibles.

I am not enough of a college fan to know how good this kid is, I just hate to burn another high pick on a qb. Of course if he is great it is always good to have a top drawer qb.
 
I think the fact that we havent signed a T is an indicator on what we MIGHT do..although I will agree you could likely get decent prospect at #32.
 
McFadden to the Jets and Gholston to the Pats is kind of scary...
 
Jake Long would be the best pick. Chris Long is great, but we have guys who can play DE right now on both sides of our 3-4.....we need to start looking at our o-line. Smiley was a nice pickup, but Jake Long would fix a big need that we have had for years.
 
Jake Long is going #1. We need to solidify our left side of the OL. After we draft Long, you look at our OL of Long-XXX-Satele-Smiley-Carey, our RBs will be tearing it up. That is one good looking OL.

We will draft a QB in the later rounds. No way Parcells goes with Ryan #1, no way.
 
I am not convinced that Long will solidify our offensive line. He is no Joe Thomas or D'Brickashaw Ferguson.

that's funny last year if long would have came out he would have been rated higher than Joe Thomas. Joe thomas last year was rated lower than long and sam baker. I think thomas is reaaly good but i think long can be just as good. if we pick him, hopefully Gholston doesnt go to the jets of pats cuz he dominated long in the ohio st michigan game. lol
 
And no one thinks Jake Long could look back at what he did wrong against Gholston, get some proper coaching with TWO OL coaches (Maser and Sparano), and possibly learn from his mistake and not get beat next time?
 
How do you know Jake Long would have been higher rated than Joe Thomas? Because the media told you?

Actually that depends on who you ask Mel Kiper was asked to grade those 3 in order and he said Thomas first with Long right behind him then Ferguson..

I think I actually agree with him.
 
I don't. Ferguson has out of this world body control, arm length, feet, and athletic ability.

I would actually rate them Ferguson, Thomas, Long. Ferguson and Thomas are close. Long would be a ways behind the other two.

You would rate D. Ferguson ahead of Joe Thomas???


Ferguson struggled in his second season while Thomas made the pro bowl as a rookie... So I guess we'll just say that's a very unique opinion.:)
