Does this make Dorsey to St. Louis a lock as well?

1. J. Long
2. Dorsey
3. Gholston
4. McFadden
5. C. Long

According to Fox Sports.com Jake Long's deal is five years (sixth year is voidable) for $57M with $30M guaranteed.

The Rams can go with Chris Long, Glenn Dorsey or Vernon Gholston.

There have been rumors though that the Saints want to trade up to #2 and select Dorsey.

Smart move by the Dolphins, and great contract for Jake Long. 30 million in guaruanteed money!!!!! That is crazy. Next is the Rams, whatever they end up doing is gonna turn the top 5 very interesting, so curious as to what their gonna do.

Is there such thing as a bargain bin #1?

Can't go wrong with this move. Billy did the right thing here, but I wonder what he truly thinks about Matt Ryan, because maybe he just didn't care for the guy.

Nice move by the Dolphin's front office.

this is a weak move by the dolphins. ive seen this guy up close and personal. and we ran circles around this guy in the rosebowl. freakishly slow. i think he'll be a bust. they shouldve went with strength up the middle of the defensive line, instead of the offensive line.

Good pick, I think you build from the trenches up. I would of been fine with Dorsey, C. Long, or to a lessor extent Gholston. But this is good, its hard to find an elite LT, hell its hard to find a good/great LT. If you have the oppertunity to take one you do it. Especially with a guy like Long. He is an instant leader on the team, one of the hardest positions in football to fill, I have no problem with that pick.
