That's what I think as well - Bernie got fooled into thinking Dorsey was going to be the pick. He reported they were going to take Dorsey, they pick Long, and now he feels like he's a fool. So he has to make some stupid mocking remarks on Chris Long.
I would like to repeat it once again: Chris Long is a great athlete. We didn't pick him because of his father, we didn't pick him because he's a nice guy, we didn't pick him only because of his motor and leadership skills. Bottomline is, he's a great athlete and that's a big part of why we picked him. All those other things, the intangibles, they're plusses of course, but make no mistake we didn't just spend the 2# overall pick on a nice guy with a motor who's low on talent.
