Also check out Dave Hyde's column on the trifecta's approach to rebuilding this team (CLICK HERE). They are clearly starting at the base, which is special teams and depth, and building through the draft. Things change daily, but right now if I'm putting money on who will be pick No. 1 I'm going 1. Jake Long, 2. Vernon Gholston, and 3. Chris Long based on what we're hearing.
If the Dolphins address the holes on offensive line within the next month I think Long moves down the list. I just don't see them taking a gamble that someone they like and want will be available with the first pick in the second round, so Jake Long is the safety net.

I get the feeling that if they are supposedly hearing who we'll be taking number one overall, then they should definitely be hearing whether or not "the Dolphins address the holes on offensive line within the next month."

That is like saying, "well if we cut all of our quarterbacks and don't pick any back up, it's most likely going to be Matt Ryan."

If they know so much about the very secretive number one, then I don't understand how "well, I think this might happen, soooo" can change anything. If they know something, they know sometime...if they're guessing, they're just guessing. I'm thinking it might be the latter.

Who knows though....I'm still hoping for Chris Long though. But, J Long and Gholston are the other two I'd be happy with.

He states that this is what he's hearing today...things change. If the Dolphins don't address the O-line before the draft...then it appears J. Long will be the pick.

Jake Long, Chris Long, McFadden, Dorsey, Gholston,Matt Ryan and Ellis
in that order. Gholston may break into the top 5 but not the top 3.

All I'm saying is that we have known for weeks and weeks that we don't have many Offensive Linemen...what changed in the past couple days? He could have said this 3 weeks ago, and it would be no different than today.

We aren't going to find an All-Pro LT or RT in free agency in the upcoming weeks, so to me, it all depends on whether or not the FO feels that there are valuable tackles available with our next picks or not. Whether we go after 50 linemen or 3, this is what will determine whether or not we take J. Long, I think.

And, I really don't think anyone knows anything. We've heard "credible" people from every station and newspaper saying they know it's Ryan, Kiper says he's heard Chris Long, people on here say they've heard Gholston, some say Jake Long, other insiders say they haven't heard Jake long mentioned once, some say we'll offer Ryan and the Longs all contracts and whoever jumps first is the pick, Mort says we like Beck while others say we need Ryan, some even still think Dorsey. The point being that i don't think they'd give Omar Kelly special information that noone else has.

He also says that all these new signings point to us decreasing Ginn's use as a return man....when everyone else sees it as them hoping to get players who can block so Ginn can show off his talents. Who knows...
 
Does Omar know what? From what I hear, Omar knows diddley.

Are you kidding me? He doesn't have his own sources? That's funny....

If that is the case, do VIPers think J. Long will be the No. 1 pick? I still think it is going to be C. Long.
 
Well, if we consider that our Dline may be set for running a 3-4, with say Holliday, Ferguson, Starks and Wright as our starters, the question would then be:

Do we go with Lb's, the Olineman or the Secondary or Qb?

There are many "good" Db's this draft,but no Deon Sanders types, Qb looks thin, so it boils down to LB or OLine...

Pete what about some scouts that say J Long is too slow of foot to be a left tackle??? We need a LEFT tackle...No doubt the Tuna loves lineman and defense...I still think it will be C. Long.
