Re: Chat Transcript with NFL Draft Countdown's Scott Wright!

I got the impression it was more Jake Long and Manningham with Gholston runner-up...
Quote:
[Scott Wright] Jake Long was the only other guy who was close and he was VERY close. I still wouldn't totally rule out him getting it... The only thing holding me back is the left tackle issue. To me McFadden is #1, Jake is #2 and then there's a big drop-off.
Scott seems to be very high on Jake Long.

Other nuggets I picked up on:

Quote:
Glenn Dorsey is very good but I don't think he is "rare". He isn't all that big, he isn't all that fast, etc. He's a terrific all-around DT who can penetrate and play the run but is he a star? I don't think so.
Quote:
No, but then again I didn't envision the Brady Quinn slide either. Darren McFadden, Matt Ryan or Chris Long will be the last guy in the green room this year and based on my new mock that comes out tomorrow Matt Ryan will be waiting the longest.
(Italics added for emphasis)


The only thing I would add to Scott's info is that he said Chris Long didn't play in the 4-3 in college, but he did during his breakout senior year. That said, it was great to have him on the site and to get his insight on the draft.
