My early predictions for the top 5 picks of the upcoming NFL Draft:
1. Miami Dolphins: Chris Long, DE, Virginia
Bill Parcells will go defense, defense and defense, and Long has the pedigree (son of Howie) that the Big Tuna loves.
2. St. Louis Rams: Jake Long, OT, Michigan
Long will either replace or complement All-Pro Orlando Pace.
3. Atlanta Falcons: Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College
The post-Mike Vick era will start with another QB with a four-letter first name and last name.
4. Oakland Raiders: Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas
The highest possible spot where McFadden, the best player on board, will go.
5. Kansas City Chiefs: Glenn Dorsey, DT, Louisiana State
Will take either Jake Long if the Rams take Dorsey instead, in a heartbeat.
In other news, Warren Sapp has announced his retirement. ("I'm done," says the QBKilla). Although he has revealed his intention to retire before the season, his timing couldn't be much better. It coincides with the retirement of his long-time adversary and buddy Brett Favre. Well, who can forget the number of friendly showdowns between the two, when Sapp was with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers which butt heads with the Green Bay Packers twice a year?
Hm, I've got a hunch that New York Giants' Michael Strahan, another veteran and Favre-buddy, will decided to call it a day soon, especially after finally winning his first Superbowl on his 15th season.
