All Right Jake!

ESPN just had a mock draft update:



1. Miami Dolphins -- Jake Long, OT, Michigan

Record: 1-15 | Needs: CB, OT, WR, QB, G
Previous mock selection: Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College
While I have DE Chris Long graded slightly higher, Jake Long makes the most sense here. I'm still a firm believer that Jake Long will be an upper-echelon starting left tackle in the NFL. With the addition of G Justin Smiley and current Miami OT Vernon Carey back at his natural position on the right side, the Dolphins would finally solidify their offensive line and give QB John Beck and RB Ronnie Brown far greater chances for success.
