Here are some videos of the 4 guys i think the choice has been narrowed down to. I will try to say something positive about each one and would like to hear what you take from these.

C Long- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECm26pV-OQQ
This was seriously impressive it is him doing his combine drills and some game footage. He is energetic and has great footwork and serious focus. And the game footage is the biggest key he was one the line in a 3 point stance and at OLB standing up. I would love him on my team and would love to continue with the youth movement on D. Def the best football player in the draft and fits our system

Vernon Gholston- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YE2y_ypR9wQ
This guy is a freak and has huge upside. This guy has a motor as well less polished that C long but still a tremendous athlete. All the video shows is him on the line in a 3 point stance im not sure how effective he is standing up. But he is great at the point of attack and just seems to have a killer instinct Long is the better football player but Gholston is the better Athlete could be fun to watch these two guys face off in game against each other

J Long- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5oYwvzzKVA
Now this is a short video of only one game but he is going up against Derrick Harvey who is one of the better ends in the college ranks. He is a great run blocker quick to the second level and stays with his block and could anchor a line for 12 years which helps any team. I think this is a deep O-line year and since he projects more as a RT in the NFL I dont see him as #1

Mat Ryan :shakeno: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri1Kl-5YZgY
This is his video from the comeback at Va Tech this is the best video i can find i dont want to draft him but i do see good things. Good feel for the field can move around an create time and is willing to take a hit. He projects as a good QB but he isnt the cant miss QB that you want if you draft that position at #1.

Seeing this even though i am a big fan of Gholston i think Chris Long is the best and most valued player out of these four. He just has everything we need and though will need a lot of money isnt wrapped up in himself and will be in camp day one and leaves us space to trade JT though i think to learn from him would be beneficial. As i said he is the best FOOTBALL PLAYER and with pads on i can tell you QB's and RB will not like to look on the other side and see a combo of Long/Taylor/ Porter/ Moses that equals a LONG DAY (pun intended)
 
yeah me too i see both as very very good players in the NFL. Both are gifted both seem to have a nose for the ball and a high octane motor. But i would take either there really isnt a downside to either and that makes me believe that one of those tow are the choice.
 
Well LT is a bit of a stretch to put that title on him is alot of pressure there will be only ONE LT I dont call Tomlinson LT because he is not. But i agree that he is that type of a dominating game changing player. Like i said it is like picking between two big a** diamonds you cant go wrong.
 
Long is a STUD. very polished very solid doesn't make many mistakes if any at all and is always perfecting his craft i like guys who are that hungry and that willing to improve themselves. I really dont think it is that bad to have the number one with impact players sitting atop are there any mega ultra star who knows how many awesome college player who were picked early didnt pan out i think there are three players longs and gholston who will be all pro kinda guys. If we can trade down i might want to go for it only if i can get C Long or Gholston though.
 
with that being said....who do we pick out of the two in your opinion? and why

Chris Long. I live in ohio and have seen every ohio state game and gholston is a beast but tends to run himself out of the play sometimes. Chris long has a nack to get to teh ball carrier like zach Thomas does. Chris long is a slight better prospect and more worthy of the #1 pick and has a little less of a risk factor to him. both are going to be beasts in the nfl whether they play LB or DE
 
Why do you have Matt Ryan videos where the Glenn Dorsey videos should be?
 
We will not take Glenn Dorsey he is a UT in a 4-3 and an injury risk yes he is good and the best player on the best team. but i dont think he will translate to a 3-4 as a NT or a DE but our D-line is loaded with Roth, Ferguson, Starks, Holliday, Wright, and Solai BP likes HUGE D-linemen he doesn't fit that i knwo he is bigger than Gholston and Long but they can be a hybrid player
 
Very close between Long and Gholston but i would say Long is a better football player overall.
