	I love it that the Dolphins are in our division, especially when it comes to the annual draft. They make more bonehead decisions than just about any franchise out there. Choosing an OL with the #1 pick and paying him #1 money?? I LOVE IT! GO Bills!

	Championship offenses are built around good offensive lines, and Long looks like he's gonna be a stud anchor at LT. They can worry about filling the holes they have at the skill positions later.

	And just who would you have picked ass clown?? Championships are won in the trenches. Skill positions are a dime a dozen. Tom Brady is getting ready to find that out. Put Brady behind that Bills O-line and see how well he does??? On his back all day.

	uh, bonehead? As a Browns fan, I can assure you that offenses are built around offensive lines. While the pick may not be "sexy", it's the correct call, and I would have suspected nothing less from the Tuna. I guarantee he's more productive, lasts longer, and whines less, than last years No. 1..............

	Slap Johnson, Funny! I could not of said it better! The trenches is where you win pull out your wins to get you to the Championship game. If you look at what the Jets did two years ago with there draft. They went after there O-line players and started to head to playoffs and right for the Super Bowl. If you look at them right now they are not that far from getting back to the playoffs. No Matter what the first pick in the draft is overpaid. It should not be over $20 mill. and $20 mill. ger-money. for five years. That's $40 mill. for five years. and more then we will ever see.

	wesuppers - may i ask what effin planet you live on? the Bills arent going in the right direction? what are you smoking cause i want some of that? the bills are past the rebuilding stage, jauron did a great job, and they are headed for the playoffs this year. they got away with one having a pretty easy schedule, but they will be at least 10-6, possibly 11-5. and i will tell you that one of those wins will come against new england. i guarantee the playoffs for the bills this year, as long as injuries dont hurt us like they did last year, which is pretty much impossible.

	How can you compare this pick to previous ones the Dolphins made when there is a new regime in place this year? It is not the "Dolphins" making another bad pick; it is Bill Parcells rebuilding a franchise. Criticize him if you want, but he has a pretty good track record.

	Buff, The guy's a stud. I think he gave up 1sack in his career and was called for two penalties in four years. He'll make your quarterback look smarter (Henne) and running back faster (Hart). Ask Minnesota what obtaining a top tier lineman can do for your offense. Good luck
