Several reports are out now saying that Parcells and the Dolphins have been in contact with Michigan offensive tackle Jake Long, and may have even begun contract negotiations.
Now clearly, a 1-15 team will have lots of needs, but I think that the offensive line may be area #1 that needs to be improved. Without a decent O-line, you can't get an offense moving. Assuming Ronnie Brown comes back from his knee surgery, and the 'fins 2 top picks last year don't crap out, man-beast Jake Long would give the big uglies up front some much needed size and strength. The 6'7" 313 lb Wolverine could give 2nd year QB John Beck a few more than the estimated 2.1 seconds he had last year to get rid of the ball.

I should note that I've been advocating Jake Long since we started this blog. I'm a big believer in the value of O-Line, and so is Parcells.
Of course, this could all just be a smokescreen.
