    Offensive Tackle Jake Long signed for the Miami Dolphins today in a deal reportedly worth $57m over five years including $30m in guaranteed money. So effectively the NFL Draft has started and the Rams are on the clock for the next four days.

    As called on March 9 in other thread:D Delighted I got that one right. In fairness he was always the logical pick. I just hope he works out, I love his mean streak.

    $57 mil for an O-fensive Tackle .

    That should page huge dividends for them.

    It may do if he develops into a pro bowl quality player at Left Tackle, but its very expensive if he ends up playing Right Tackle.

    I hope so, but I think the Rams and Falcons are both looking for DL, so its take two from Long, Dorsey and Goulston, assuming as you say that neither the Rams or Falcons trade down.

    In a pre-draft trade the Chiefs have traded DE Jared Allen to the Vikings for the Vikings first round picks and both of their third round picks. That means the Chiefs have two picks in the first round, one pick in the second round and three picks in the third round !!!

    Chiefs will be worried about needing a DE, and they have picks to spare, think they would swap up to get their first choice of DE? The Rams don't seem too bothered if they get Long, Dorsey or Gholston and they probably wouldn't mind slipping down a few places and waiting to see who's left and thus a little cheaper.

    Gholston should be there for the chiefs to take.

    That's not a bad thing if your QB is left handed lol
