NFL Network's Adam Schefter and NBC's Peter King say they're "hearing" the Dolphins are interested in Virginia DE Chris Long.

The Patriots are also intrigued with Long, who played in a 3-4 under Parcells disciple Al Groh. Long's dimensions (6'4/278) aren't ideal for an NFL 3-4 end, so he's likely being looked at as an OLB/DE hybrid. His play is so relentless that it's hard to imagine Long having trouble in any scheme.

Considering what a poker player Parcells is, we're likely to "hear" a load of stuff about everybody BP "likes" but then he'll surprise us all on draft day.
 
Draft Day is going to be quite exciting to say the least.

Who knows what card Parcells will have up his sleeve.

totally, and i cannot wait to see what actually goes down for Miami... i am pumped, but it too far away.
 
I always thought Chris long is a tad better as a 4/3 DE.... something like an Aron Kampman from GB.

I can also see him as an OLB in a 3/4 ... I saw him play some downs in college as an OLB.

Either way I honestly think he is the best choice for #1
 
Every coach and GM plays mind games and says they 'really like' a lot of prospects. It doesn't mean diddly squat.

Just think of all the good press we will get now from Fox T.V. and even ESPN since Howie works at FOX and his buddies at ESPN. Finally!! =)
 
So far Chris Long and Matt Ryan have been in the rumor mill. I think Jake Long and Dorsey are next to be "heard"that we're interested in them. After that maybe Gholston and Clady

Yup. Before its over they'll have floated it out there that we are interested in just about everyone. Won't mean much though.

We're doing a good job of obfuscation so far. No one really knows which way we are going. The combine might clarify a few things though.

Yup that and free agency signing period
 
Chris Long's another one i'd love to see us get...the video footage i saw of him showed me a non-stop motor in games and him constantly going after the ball regardless of who had it. he also had 14 sacks this past season,which,if i remember right,was more than 10 college teams had as a total.
 
Chris Long is the best player available IMO. He's been my #1 pick from the start.

He'd look great in a Fins uniform. :D
 
And Parcells wouldn't put out alittle smoke now and then to make the top 5 players all look like possible selections...keep them guessing...is the right way to go.
