NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has taken the podium. He's wearing an understated dark suit, and he's touting the "new, streamlined" formatting of the draft. With the first pick, the Dolphins select Jake Long.
Long is the only player in New York wearing a light suit. He's gone with a light tan one. His shoulders are enormous. I'd guess he wears a 54 long. Just talked to someone in the Dolphins' draft room who said the club is doing everything it can to get back into the first round.
I'm still a little surprised that they got Cowboys linebacker Akin Ayodele and tight end Anthony Fasano for a fourth-rounder. That's two starters Bill Parcells and Tony Sparano know really well.
It certainly doesn't say much about Bill's drafting skills that he's landing one of his former second-round picks and a starting linebacker for a fourth-round pick. But hey, it's a good trade for the Dolphins. Kudos to GM Jeff Ireland, who will be on our 103.3 ESPN radio show Monday.
