With Bill Parcells running the Dolphins and the Dolphins owning the first pick in the 2008 NFL draft, we're going to hear a lot of speculation about which of the top prospects most fits the mold of a Parcells-type player.

A lot can change between now and the draft on April 26, but right now, I think the player who looks the most like the kind of guy Parcells would want to build his team around is Virginia defensive end Chris Long.

The most obvious connection is that Long's coach at Virginia is Al Groh, who was an assistant to Parcells with the Giants, Patriots and Jets. Parcells will spend a lot of time talking to Groh about Long, and all indications are that Groh will give a glowing recommendation.

I could see this pick. #1 overall might be a little high for Long, though.

Hmm... also makes me wonder about the possibility of Al Groh coaching the Dolphins in 2008.

I'm to go out on a limp and say the Tuna trades the pick to the Jets who will likely have the 3rd pick. The Jets will take McFadden the Dolphins Chris Long or Glenn Dorsey.

I think they take Dorsey...I think its harder to find another Dorsey then another Long.
