NFLUMD: #1 Miami Dolphins

Yes, I shortened the name, not quite as good as OGSNFLUFFL, but it'll do.

So up first we have the Dolphins who need a lot of help. From the Team Needs page we were told the Phins need:
1. OL - tackle or guard
2. DT
3. CB
4. LB
5. TE
6. Safety
7. WR
8. QB

To be honest, I'm a bit surprised that QB is so low, but I guess Parcells would want a QB more than the fans who would like to see John Beck a little bit more.

Now on to the voting:
Jake Long, Michigan - OT - Huge guy, should be a cornerstone for an offense.
Chris Long, Virginia - DE - Would be a great fit for Parcells in the 3-4. Practically unstoppable last year, high motor, good kid. Of course, you know football is in the family with Howie.
Matt Ryan, Boston College - QB - Todd McShay thinks he's a franchise QB, I don't. I think he'll be good, better than Alex Smith as a #1 pick, but won't be oustanding.
Glenn Dorsey, LSU - DT - Unstoppable, even when he was playing on one knee. Great guy off the field. Injury concerns have caused him to drop, of course that could be a smokescreen.

I think Vernon Gholston would be a better fit than Chris Long.With that being said I think the Dolphins should choose Glenn Dorsey.While Matt Ryan sounds nice he is just as unproven as Beck.Apocalypse30

I understand what your saying he is better fit for the Jets system but generally speaking Gholston fits a 3-4 defense,while Long seems more of a 4-3 defense DE.

Chris Long

i was gona say trade but it aint an option

either Long or Dorsey would do best. Matt Ryan is good, but QB isnt one of their immediate concerns.

Chris Long. Their d-line isn't getting any younger.CommanderShiro

Considering that the only real old guys on the Line are Ferguson JT and Holiday, its not an old unit at all.

Anyway I believe Chris Long would be the pick, we do need a stud DE.

I'm crossing Ryan off the list because I think they should give Beck a chance.

Either Long or Dorsey, I don't think they could make the wrong pick with any of those 3. I'll say take Jake Long, because you need people around your best player, Ronnie Brown, and protection for that young QB, Beck.

Glen Dorsey would also be a horrible in 3-4, Long at least has a chance to do something productive....Dorsey would be a non factor imo.Espurs117

He would help tremendously in run stopping he would clog up the middle and force teams to the outside which you wouldn't want to do against a 3-4 defense.The only other guy on the poll that would help would be Jake Long.

My pick is Chris Long as well.

*Puts on a Roger Goodell voice*

And with the #1 pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins select Chris Long.

Well I'll look at the people who are a fan of that team, if there aren't any, Espurs and I will choose.
