The only reason Virginia junior Chris Long doesn't have much of a chance to win the Heisman Trophy this season is that he plays defense exclusively. He's that good.

 Here is the Top Ten. The Rest of it can be found HERE
Round One
#1 Dolphins - Chris Long, DE, Virginia
Long becomes the anchor end for the Tuna's new 3-4 defense. Although many may argue that Dorsey was the more worthy 1.01 choice, Dorsey would not make a good 3-4 NT. Thus the choice is [...]

"Is there any doubt now that Chris Long is the No. 1 overall selection? Long had an outstanding Combine, even though he was frustrated with some of his stellar numbers because he knew he could do better. Long is a perfect fit for Miami's dreadful defense, and seems like a Bill Parcells guy. There are rumors that the Dolphins could go quarterback here, but all of those seem to stem...

The Chiefs have suffered a major injury as first-round pick Glenn Dorsey sprained his knee during practice on Saturday in River Falls. "It's probably going to be week-to-week," coach Herm Edwards said. "I don't think it's real serious. It's sprained." Dorsey will have an MRI to determine how bad the sprain is. He limped off the field and...
What's up, Yardbarkers?
Just wanted to check in with the Yard on the night before the Draft. It's been a big week out here in the Big Apple, not just for me but also for Glenn Dorsey, Matt Ryan, Vernon Gholston, Chris Long and of course #1 pick Jake Long (congratulations, man). I've been loving New York and the whole Draft experience. I came out a couple days before...

Raider X has reappeared to give his take on the upcoming draft. He looks at what the Raider Nation wants. Do we want the home run hitter in Darren McFadden, or do we want to shore up the defense by adding a defensive lineman like Chris Long or Vernon Gholston? Or do we want to go for an offensive lineman to protect JaMarcus Russell? Which way will the Oakland Raiders go?

Team

A Long will be picked at number one this year, this week I say Jake. This pick will make John Beck a better QB instantly, now if they just had 6 more 1st round picks.
2. St. Louis Rams - Chris Long DE, Virginia
With Long and ...

Derrick Harvey is a stellar defensive end who is vying with Calais Campbell to be the 2nd DE drafted after Virginia's Chris Long.It's a relatively tough hit for the Gators, who will miss Harvey's talent on the defensive line. Against Michigan, he...

To date only three of the 12 draft choices for the Chiefs have signed on the dotted line. For once Carl Peterson should have lost the battle of the contract negotiation. To win the war of having everybody in camp on time. I would understand if we had a lot of bloated contracts and were trying to stay under the cap. But the Chiefs are well under the cap. Projected some where around...
