[general counsel]

What in the world makes anyone think that chris long is going to want any more or any less money than any other pick who is selected at #2. With all due respect, there is simply no factual basis for that comment.

Dorsey is a high character guy. If the front office believes that he is the better player, i think we should take him. If the front office believes that they are about the same, i am fine with taking the greater position of need. We are hardly one guy away from winning it all.

If the front office believes that dorsey is not 100% healthy or is at greater risk for future injury, then i think we should pass and avoid the risk.

Everyone should remember that we are talking about chris long, not howie long. The bloodline is great, but it doesnt always translate that way. See both pete rose jr and edsel ford.

Please dont get me wrong, i am a huge chris long fan and i think he would be a fantastic ram. Whichever of the two guys we take i am going to be fine with. I dont know enough about either the medical situation or the relative merits of the skill sets to make a determination as to who is the better guy and i dont want to get overwhelmed with "need" since we NEED a lot of things, but the thing we NEED most of all, if we want any shot at all of having a decent year, is GOOD HEALTH.

I dont care if we draft deacon jones, we arent going to win squat if we have the same kind of injuries that we had last year. I think we have to make the pick that is in the best interests of the team over the long haul and that means the best player on either the offensive or defensive line.

ramming speed to all
