    9. The Dolphins cut a deal with the wrong Long.

    With Jason Taylor wanting out of Miami, taking Virginia defensive end and son of a Hall of Famer Chris Long should've been an easy decision for Bill Parcells. I'd rather give a pass-rusher $30 million in guarantees than an offensive tackle who might be too stiff to play on the left side.

    Everyone keeps calling Michigan tackle Jake Long the next Joe Thomas. I'm unsure of the comparison. Thomas is a sleek athlete, a bigger Lomas Brown. Long is a big, bruising mauler. Maybe he's cut from the same cloth as Willie Roaf, who dominated the left side with a right-tackle approach.

    If Jake Long ends up being a Pro Bowl right tackle, then Parcells made a mistake.
