Got this idea from another board.

We'll go pick by pick of the first round of the NFL draft, getting a board consensus and we'll see how it stacks up against the actual NFL Draft. The discussion will last every few days.

No wishy-washy bullshit, either. Make a definitive pick.

Pick 1 - The Miami Dolphins select...

My vote is for Jake Long, OT out of Michigan. In my opinion, this draft class doesn't have a sure-fire, can't miss #1 pick. Because that is the case, I feel (a) no team will want to trade with the Fins for the pick, and (b) they will take the "safest" player available. Jake Long will do a few things for the Dolphins, most notably make their best player, Ronnie Brown, better.

I'm not sold on Ryan or Chris Long, and I think Dorsey's injury costs him a few spots.

What say you?
