    Woo! Im glad its a done deal. No more arguing and bickering back and forth!! No more stressing out about who were going to pick!! I'm happy with the pick, but as i've said all along Id be happy with either Long. Im happy with Jake because he's going to help our line bigtime, which will help our passing game, and definately help our running game.

    Welcome to the Dolphins Jake!!!

    and thanks for making an ohio state fans praise and be proud of a Michigan player!!!!

    Bring on round 2!!

    Not going to spoil youre joy with my doubts. C'mon Jake, prove me wrong and be one heck of a left tackle for us. Jeez, this must the first time I genuinely wish I'm mistaken.

    What we should really be celebrating is that we never need to hear "Matty Ice Should Be Our Pick".

    Im thinking the biggest reason we took Jake is because he's a safe choice, and and incredibly talented Tackle... but also because the few flaws that he has... Sparano... an offensive line guru will get to work with him and correct those issues and make Jake even more dominant on our line. that alone, is great news.

    Wow, the phins getting it done. Well done parcells, ireland and crew. No holdouts for us.
    Finally maybe a line that can block. maybe now our QB's won't be on their backs or running for their lives.

    i got back from work about an hour ago it is awesome being my own boss, i had to do an estimate on a job

    sorry your stuck at work but dont worry this stuff will be replayed all night

    but the whole oline is young

    LT jake long rookie
    LG ?
    C samson satele 2nd year
    RG justin smiley 5th year
    RT vernon carey 5th year

    left guard is a question but this oline can be dominant for a long long time imagine ronnie and ricky running behind this line

    I'm hoping Mormino takes that LG spot, but we still need another tackle for a backup who can, at the least, play RT, and has the ability to move inside...Greco sounds about right.

    I'm okay with this pick. Obviously, it's going to be hard to watch Chris Long absolutely destroy his opponents and wonder what could have been, but at the same time seeing Jake provide protection for Beck and open holes for Ronnie will be a wonderful sight. :wink2:

    I had this kid after Glenn Dorsey and then Chris Long...and I still LOVE the pick. I bet Ronnie freakin Brown is doing one legged backflips right now....Heck, I bet Ricky is lighting one up as we speak....

    Yeah I was a Matt Ryan guy, and still think he will be a great NFL QB for another team, but this was a great pick. I'm certainly not upset by it. Jake Long instantly makes every player on our offense better.

    He can also makes our defensive better if he helps in shortening the game by his run-blocking.

    Hopefully, we get or have a good LG, we'll be able to run on both sides of the line...seems to me, we were more left-handed and some middle last year...too predictable.

    And compare last years lineup (Where Ronnie was on a seriously nice pace) to this years.

    On the right side anyways we will have Smiley and either Long or V-Carey depending on what transpires in training camp...and Sam will be a year bigger and smarter...

    Absolutely. Having Jake Long means more first downs, which hopefully means more points and less 3 and outs. All this will be a tremendous help on our defense.

    :pity:

    Not a fan of this move at all, but I'll support him.

    What about Long and Carey on the left side protecting Beck's butt? I'm sure we can find another player in the draft to handle the RT spot, although I think defense needs to be an even bigger priority now.
