    Shawn Murphy was watching other Dolphins offensive linemen go through footwork drills and couldn't help but admire how smooth Jake Long moved in comparison to everyone else participating in this weekend's rookie minicamp.

    "He has great body control," Murphy said of Long, who was drafted No. 1 overall last weekend. "He's tough and he's strong, and he's got arms that are about 10 feet long.

    "He looks like a power forward out there."

    While Long's lean 6-foot-7, 315-pound frame could make him effective on a basketball court, the Dolphins need their new left tackle to be dominant on the football field. The former Michigan standout is projected to be an immediate starter, and he's already the NFL's highest paid offensive lineman months before he plays an NFL snap.

    I like shawn murphy, he's tough and very smart, he also has athletic ability, he's raw to the position but one day will be an excellent guard.
