Four years ago, the Dolphins opted for a left tackle over a franchise quarterback, taking Jake Long instead of Matt Ryan with the first pick in the draft. With the Dolphins using a first-round pick in 2012 on the player they hope will become the team’s next franchise quarterback, the Dolphins also may have acquired their next cornerstone left tackle.

Mike Berardino of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel believes that the arrival of Jonathan Martin via round two could eventually mean the end of the line for Long.

Martin played sparingly at right tackle during his college career, and if the Dolphins decide to move on from Long, Martin could take over on the left side.

As Berardino explains it, with the Dolphins admittedly transforming their approach, Long may not fit in the new-look offense. “We’re not going to be as much a power scheme as we’ve been in the past,” G.M. Jeff Ireland said when discussing the decision to take Martin. “So his athletic ability and . . . quickness and ability to play in space transfers to this scheme probably a lot better than any other scheme.”

Long is due to receive a base salary $11.2 million in 2012. Long recently proclaimed that he’s the healthiest he has been in a long time.

I turned on to watch the draft, but what I get now is analysis of every east coast team drafts.

So excited.

Thanks. As I said at the time of the pick:

I don't really understand that pick unless they move him to OG. He's not RT.

So this at least rationalizes the selection.

I could see the Vikings or Cowboys taking Iloka.

This essentially says that they don't believe that Jake Long has the athletic abaility to be an outstanding pass blocker in a more pass oriented offense.

Imagine that.

*sound of AustinChief weeping*

[chop]

Lilja recently stated that Cassel is a good QB and that the Chiefs needed to get better players around him. Maybe he speaks for more people in the organization and that is why the Chiefs are drafting the way they are. Unfortunately for him, he is one of the guys getting replaced.

I could be wrong, but isn't that exactly what we read around here before he was drafted?

That is exactly what I, and many others, said, yes.
