All he has to do is order his agent to accept the proposal on the table. Playing for a proven winner, in Miami, could make up for a lot of lost clams.

They don't have time to get a deal done with Gholston or anyone else except Long. So a smokescreen does not seem very likely to me. But what do I know?

I wouldn't be surprised to see him trade down to get more picks, address more needs, and probably lower his entry-level cap hit. Nobody knows what Parcells will do.

When you're accused of not playing hard on every play, that is not a good thing. Has anybody ever said that about Chris Long? I’m not sure Gholston is worthy of the top overall pick.

I mean, if I'm only talking to one guy I'm probably going to whisper to others that it's a reuse so that the guy I want doesn't drain my bank account.

It's much less risky to have a deal worked out ahead of time. And the Miami Dolphins do have a need for a cornerstone offensive lineman. It seems that the most likely pick is in fact Long. Then again, the next Howie Long or Lawrence Taylor wouldn't hurt either. (Chris Long, Vernon Gholston -- the guy who got the sack against Jake Long haha.) Yeah, I can that, here come Anthony Munoz, Howie Long, and Lawrence Taylor! Not. Is that kind of “smokescreen” worth it with the first overall pick?

Jeff Ireland and Tony Sparno don't believe in taking an offensive linesman that high. Look at the Cowboys' draft history. Even Parcells is shopping for his coach's grocery. IT IS A SMOKESCREEN!!!
