Exclamation Chris Long is the best player in this draft.. HANDS DOWN!
Seriously!

I have watched so much film of this guy.. and he just doesn't stop!

He would BOOST our defense instantly.

I dont think there is a chance we will get to draft him... but I wish we could.

I can say the same about you know who! But i think he would probably be the best D player in the draft who would help us the most!

If he is the best player in the draft, why would he be there at 4th overall?

I disagree with him being the best player in the draft. You could make a case for him but imo Dorsey and Ellis are better defensive players than him. Plus "you know who" as well(take a guess who that is lol)

Chris Long is a very good DE prospect but I don't see him as a elite level one. Just a very good one. Mario Williams, Julius Peppers are elite prospect guys imo. I think he will be a very good player for many years but not as good as some people expect.

Why does everyone keep saying we are picking 4th? We are flipping a coin with Atlanta tomorrow for the #3 pick.

I believe he is an elite DE and I also doubt we will have our shot at him. The kid is a stud, and just because he won't be just a pass rushing sack machine doesn't change that. His ability to rush the passer AND stop the run, both in a dominant fashion, ensures he is among the best of this years draft. He may not be glamorous, but he will be a very productive and effective DE for many years IMO.

Oh, And as of this week, I still think I'd rather have him in round 1 and DT Pat Simms in round 2. That would be an instant upgrade on the line (Hopefully Kelly signs back up for UT/DE) and there's always the OT, WR, and RB in later rounds and free agency.

If we pick 3rd we have a shot at him. Very slim one at that though...


Dorsey, Ellis, or Long I would not be upset with any of them. Both will bring some energy to this D.
