Many throughout the season projected LSU DT Glenn Dorsey as the #1 overall pick in April's NFL Draft. Then that man was USC DT Sedrick Ellis, who proved to be unstoppable in the Senior Bowl. Now the guy at the top of many mock drafts is Virginia DE Chris Long, son of Howie and purveyor of QB nightmares.
"Long can play in any scheme. He has more experience in the 3-4 than [Dorsey and Ellis] and seems like the type of player Bill Parcells would love to have on his squad. Dorsey and Ellis might be more talented, but I don't think you spend a No. 1 overall pick on a guy you're not sure can play in your system."

What do you guys think about the draft??? I have seen a lot of drafts having Glenn Dorsey as the number 1 pick. I would not mind that at all, and I am also hoping The 49ers do very poor the rest of the season so they can get the number 2 pick and picking up Darren McFadden. That would be awesome, and there would be a pats jersey on me every sunday next year.

1st Round
1. Miami Dolphins - DT Glenn Dorsey, LSU
The Dolphins need more than just a DT, but they can only pick one player here. Dorsey is their man. He could fill a void at DT for the next 8-10 years. This would be the choice for the Dolphins unless they decide to move back and acquire...

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.

What's up, Yardbarkers?

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...

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?

UF's best defensive player entered the draft as today. 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...
