Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that there’s a growing buzz that Virginia defensive end Chris Long, son of Hall of Famer Howie Long, will be the first overall pick in the draft.

The widespread thinking is that the Miami Dolphins will ultimately will regard Chris Long as entailing the least risk in return for a contract that will carry roughly $35 million in guaranteed money.

Of course, Long’s prospects could change if the Dolphins obtain an acceptable trade offer for the top pick.

Other names that have been pegged as the potential top pick include Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan, LSU defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey, and Arkansas running back Darren McFadden.
