Even if Jake Long only ends up being a league average LT (which I would see as the worst possible scenario), it's hard to say that Parcells' approach isn't more intelligent than San Francisco's "uh...we've got to grab-the-best-quarterback-available!!!!" approach of 2005.

This is a good pick simply because he's not overvaluing the first overall selection trying to pick the most hyped player, he's just picking the player that makes the Miami Dolphins the best team in the long term.

Again, that's why teams like the Raiders and Lions fail, while the Dolphins will be competent 2-3 years down the road.
