With a regular season record of 1-15 the fish need every able bodied player they can find. The Fins tried to trade the number one pick away and get more players but there weren’t any takers. The value of a number one pick is becoming economically questionable. Too often the number one pick is a big, expensive, ugly, bust. Better players are often found in the later rounds. General managers have gotten wise to this and try to pick wisely and cautiously.
Don’t get me started on the inequity of the draft and the ridiculous amounts of money being thrown at unproven young talent. Fuggetaboutit.
But at least we don’t have numero uno drama to endure. Thank you football gods for small favors.
Bill Parcells is making his mark as the new head honcho, VP of Football Operations, in Florida.
By all accounts, Jake Long is his type of player and the type of guy he wants to build his team around.
Strong and mean on the field, but a good character kid off the field.
Although the drama may be missing, Jake Long is still planning to fly to New York on Wednesday and attend the draft.
As the NFL Turns will now focus on the number two pick.
The St. Louis Rams are on the clock.
