The only way it this is going to happen is teams move their own players around and get the other need. Miami- C. Long/ Matt Ryan--- Long might be Parcells' guy because how the kid is and the Al Groh ties in Virginia. Matt Ryan is the other pick due to the Franchise needing to start over and why not have the highly touted QB as the Franchise. St. Louis- Long/Long/McFadden-- Scott Linehan is an offensive minded coach, so i imagine that he may go with J. Long or even McFadden due to the fact that if Steven Jackson gets hurt again, he has a backup ready to go. He can also have a great split backfield with those two. Or if Miami takes Ryan, C. Long will be the pick because Leonard Little is 33. Atlanta- Ryan/Ellis/Dorsey- If Miami goes QB, defense is probably their next option, BPA. The two DTs would be a welcome addition to the front 4 of their line. This team is in shambles. Oakland- McFadden/Long/Long/Ellis-- Oakland is kind of sitting pretty at #4 with alot of situations that fall to them, and every one seems to be a winner for them. The RB gives them the push they need to compliment Russell. Either Long solidifies their respective side of the line. Ellis may replace Warren Sapp at this point, being an athletic DT who's quick off the ball and tenacious at the Point of Attack Kansas City- What KC does really won't affect us because their needs differ from the rest of us, Clady, Long, Otah- all O-Lineman due to the losses they suffered last year. Otah may pull a Levi Brown this year. New York Jets - Gholston-- His pro day is insane, name the last player to record 22.5 sacks in their college career and the jump a 42" vertical, and run under a 4.6 40 at 6'3", 260? Put me at DE, (I'm 6'3", 185) and i guarantee you he's still get 9 sacks coming off the edge behind me. He's a player that needs to be game planned for in the mold of Ware and Merriman... and in a 3-4, you need that guy.
as much as i love gholston, and how well he would fit in our scheme, we're gonna end up with a great player no matter what. and that's because of our moves in FA that allow us to be more versatile in the draft.
That, and if we don't take Gholston, he'll go to the Ravens and become another Ray Lewis. I like Otah, but, not that high.
I saw Mayock do it in his latest draft, so i figured what the hell maybe he knows something we don't... but Clady or Long are waaayyy ahead of him.
