The makeover of the Miami Dolphins continued on Saturday with the addition of three new players who will look to make an immediate impact. When you have a new owner with ties to the University of Michigan how do you please such owner? You draft two players from the University of Michigan in the first two rounds. All kidding aside though, in hindsight, Jake Long was an obvious selection with the #1 overall pick. Dorsey didn’t fit our defensive system, Chris Long is undersized and too risky to take #1 overall, there was no need for McFadden, and so at the end of the day selecting Jake Long makes perfect sense. I mean how can you not love a guy who only gave up 1 sack and committed 1 penalty his entire senior season? And he was playing against top tier competition in the Big 10 week in and week out. The question of course is whether or not he has the foot speed to play left tackle at the next level. One thing going for him is his reach and long wing-span. That will help with his slower foot-work. And let’s be honest, worst comes to worst and if Jake can’t cut it at left tackle, then we just drafted a perennial pro bowler as a right tackle. Which wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world if you ask me. Jake Long is a safe pick and anytime you can sign the #1 overall pick at a 15% discount over last years #1 overall pick, then you not only get a great player but get such player at a bargain.
