best player available.. RIEN LONG!

[Tatonka]

so what if it is crowded.. take the guy.. he was a projected 1st rounder! his stats were dominant...

[ArcticWildMan]

Nope. TD seems intent on drafting for potential this day. That excludes Long.

[HenryRules]

Not by everyone ... SI had him as a late secound rounder.

[Bert102176]

how about Chris Simms

[Tatonka]

long has tons of potential!

[Billsouth]

we do not need anymore D lineman. since last years draft we have added:

denney; bannon; edwards; mckenzie; marcus; sam adams; kelsay; irons


plus we have williams and schoebel

[HenryRules]

I still say take Simms if he's there in the 4th ... i don't like him enough as a first-day pick (admittedly, our 3rd is almost a 4th right now anyway).

[ArcticWildMan]

I'm being facitious, Tatonka. This entire draft strategy has me scratching my head.

if TD wanted DE he would have picked Kenny Peterson who is way better then Long.

I was listening to nfl.com's broadcast, and Gil Brandt said that at Rien Long's workout, not one defensive line coach went to see him. He's overhyped by the draft sites...late third is probably his value. Great stats and size, but terrible form and slow.

Long is a DT not a DE Demon

Still, if TD wanted DT he would have selected Kenny Peterson, who is Much better then long. He plays both DE and DT. But i like the pick we made anyways : )
