This is a good thing for the Redskins too because it means the Vikings won't be looking for a DE at #17, if that pick goes to the Chiefs now, and that means one less suitor for Derrick Harvey, who I would love to pick if he fell to the Redskins at #21.
On the other side of the fence though, this could mean that the Chiefs take Matt Ryan at #5 and try to get a defensive end to replace Allen at #17, meaning they could be in the running to take Derrick Harvey at #17 too.

I really hope they go for Long at #5, especially since that would increase the chances of them taking a QB at 17. Or they could take a falling OT and then trade back up into the 1st to get a QB, though I would prefer the former, as the Chiefs grabbing a QB would create a scarcity mind set among QB needy teams like the Ravens and the Bears.
Of course the Ravens might be gun shy after their last trade up to take a QB backfired with Kyle Boller and the Bears don't trade up.
Now that I think about hopefully the Chiefs grab an OT at 17 and then trade back into the 1st. Personally I'm relying on the other teams being scared that the Dolphins might take the QB prospect of their choice, plus Parcells likes to trade down, not up.
Oh yeah, it's looking more and more like the Falcons will take Ryan with Dorsey currently being projected to end up in St. Louis.
Also interesting side note: Long might not go to the Raiders at 4 because apparently his father Howie has a strained relationship with owner Al Davis and on top of that Davis loves the measureables that a guy like Gholston brings to the table.
