Long, Long Day At The Top?
The Dolphins flirtations with Michigan tackle Jake Long over the past few weeks have been well-publicized but this morning, with six days to go before the draft, a league source is indicating that a contract agreement is nearly in place.
Word that Miami initiated talks with Long's agent, Tom Condon, surfaced almost two weeks ago. Condon actually was in South Florida to meet with Dolphins officials. Miami's also made overtures toward Vernon Gholston but little other progress has been mentioned.
Meanwhile, with Jake Long off the board, the St. Louis Rams are a lock to go with defense at No. 2 and, according to the same league source, the camp of Virginia defensive end Chris Long is very confident that's where he'll be headed.

Drilling deeply into the mantle layer of America's Passion, NBCSports.com's Tom Curran offers up quick hits and insights on all things NFL.
THIS IS GREAT!!!! HOPEFULLY HE WILL SIGN WITH THE DOLPHINS!!!!
I would be happy with the selection of Jake Long or Chris Long, or even Mr. Dorsey from LSU. I just hope the Dolphins don't waste the #1 pick on a quarterback this year because of 2 reasons: John Beck has tremendous potential to develop into the franchise qback and 2. The qback selection this year ain't that hot imho. Go Dolphins!
Jake Long is the right choice. It would not matter who played QB for the Dolphins. Tom Brady would be average behind the Dolphins offensive line. Jake Long is a step in the right direction. Protect your QB and give him sone targets to throw to, and good things will happen. Hopefully, that will be addressed in this draft. Also, lets hope the defense gets younger.
Curran, please be quiet...
I realize you are paid to insight rhetoric and you are also entitled to your opinion, but Parcell's is a football icon who has proven time and time again that BILL KNOWS FOOTBALL!!! Your opinion of his choice is irrelevant.
Whats the deal having the republican political assassin Oberman as a talking head on your pre game stuff. Trying to sway everyone
to be democrats if they want to watch pro football?
