PFT: Fins reportedly negotiating with Jake Long

I say they'll still take Chris Long.

Other than Al Groh, Bill Parcells' best friend in the college coaching ranks is probably Lloyd Carr.

The Dolphins biggest need is on the O-Line, unless you really think that Jason Taylor is walking away.

Tony Sparano is a former O-Line coach, who will likely want to strengthen that unit.

It would make a lot of sense for Jake Long to be the pick. I've said Chris Long for a long time, but I could see why the Dolphins might pass. For that matter, passing on Chris Long probably makes the rest of the draft a little easier to forecast as well.

In addition to Jake Long, they are also negotiating with Gholston:

Gholston, I've heard, has been likened to a prospective Demarcus Ware if he shifts to linebacker. If Parcells has that perception of him, too, I would expect him to be Miami's pick.
