In less than two weeks, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will step to the podium and say, "With the first pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins select ..." The big question is what the next few words will be. Michigan's ogre Jake Long seems to be the favorite if you spend anytime listening to sports talk radio, reading mock drafts or looking at the Miami Herald or the Sun-Sentinel. There are talks that Miami will make Virginia's Chris Long or former Buckeye Vernon Gholston a hybrid linebacker in their 3-4 alignment. Still some suggest that LSU's Glenn Dorsey is the most dominant defensive player available and that the Dolphins may still be interested in going that direction. In my opinion, the Dolphins have the biggest need on the O-Line. Bill Parcells believes in building teams from the inside out and in running the football. That said, adding a 6'7 320-pound man-beast would be helpful. Long isn't tremendously quick at this point, but his agility will improve, especially under Tony Sparano who receives high praise for his previous gig as a O-Line guru in Big D. What would you do if you were running the Dolphins war room?

I say take the man beast!
I think Miami needs just about all of them. Is there any way we can trade for like 15 1st round picks?
Well Keith, maybe if we offer someone Dan Marino, Larry Csonka, Jason Taylor, Mark Clayton and Mark Duper, we can get that deal done!
