And The Dolphins Select....

Jake Long, Univeristy of Michigan. According to numerous reports, the former All-American offensive lineman has entered into negotiations with the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins have also expressed interest in the other Long, Chris Long of Virginia, and Glenn Dorsey of LSU as possible number one selections.

The Miami Dolphins finished last season with a record of 1 and 15. They didn't win their first game until week 15 when they knocked off the Baltimore Ravens. It also didn't help them when Ronnie Brown, their star running back, went down with a season ending injury.

While at Michigan, the 6-7, 313 pound senior dominated opposing defensive lineman. Jake Long is able to play both tackle positions, has excellent technique, and is great in the pass and run. The one drawback Long has is that he has trouble with speed rushers. That can be corrected however when he gets to the next level.
