Jake Long

The draft is Saturday folks, and the suspense over the number one pick is gone. 

Michigan tackle Jake Long has signed a multiyear contract with the Miami Dolphins, who plan to select him with the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft on Saturday.

The Dolphins were interested in trading the top pick, but couldn’t find any takers.  So,  they decided to sign Long and avoid a holdout. Last year’s top pick, JaMarcus Russell, missed all of training camp before signing a $61 million contract with the Oakland Raiders. [source: sportingnews]

Was this a good choice for the Dolphins?  Will Jake Long have any game off the field?
