As there continues to be speculation and innuendo in league circles that defensive end/linebacker Vernon Gholston might slip out of the top five, an experienced media insider tells us that, in his view, the talk is wishful thinking from the teams that would love to see Gholston slide.
Apparently, however, there’s a growing chance that Gholston won’t slide past No. 1. If Michigan tackle Jake Long doesn’t agree to terms to be the No. 1 overall pick, Gholston could be the guy. Per the source, Fins V.P. of football operations Parcells is always looking for the next Lawrence Taylor, which Golston could turn out to be.
The rumors of a slide also, in our view, could be propagated by the Dolphins, who might be hoping to squeeze Gholston into taking the low-ball offer at No. 1 that quarterback Brady Quinn surely wishes in hindsight that he’d accepted in Oakland.

I think Gholston could thrive as a Rush Lineback but I think he could make a better 3-4 End.Kanye West likes this. -

Actually I like Jake Long than any other pick right now. Yeah we can plug in any round 2 tackle at RT but we can also get a true OLB in round 2.

Gholston is full of more juice than a South Beach sports bar.

Beating y'all silly this season and next. That's a slight.

I love Dan Connor. It's crazy that he could slip out of the first round, but such seems to be the case with a lot of pure talent. I'd love to have him in Miami but I think he'll go before our 2nd pick.Phinperor likes this. -

Like I said in another thread, if we were able to land both Jake Long and Dan Connor I would be a happy man. However, I'd be even more pumped if we were able to get Chris Long and a top OT.Click to expand...
Wasn't meant to be a slight on OSU, darling.

USC beat OHio St??? Kidding right? Who's your QB? Who is your RB? You know what I would be shocked if USC scores more than 10 on Ohio St. I expect Beanie to run wild on the Trojans. -

Chris Long is a DE, you wonder why Miami isn't in talks with Chris Long? Because they probably didn't like how he is at OLB.Click to expand...Phinperor likes this.
