Malcom Kelly ran the 40 in 4.75 and 4.68, maybe we could steal him in the second if his draft stock drops.

"The Dolphins have formally begun contract negotiations with agent Tom Condon about the prospect of selecting former Michigan offensive tackle Jake Long as the first overall selection in this year's draft." I thought that the Dolphins would go for Chris Long, and go defensive, but guess they want to build a better o-line.

They'll probably negotiate with C. Long as well and maybe Gholston and ultimately figure out the best deal for them. Jake Long is definitely a strong possibility but I wouldn't write his name in ink yet

Apparently Ryan is one of the guys that they're going to pass on negotiating with. Wonder how that'll effect the draft but right now the Packers looking at Brian Brohm makes them our best friend. Bret Farve on the other hand, talking about coming back if Rogers goes down becomes public enemy #1, not to mention annoying.

They have according to this link, started with Gholston, and Jake Long, "Official contract negotiations with Michigan offensive tackle Jake Long, and Ohio State defensive end Vernon Gholston were started this week."
