How Jake Long to the Dolphins impacts the Ravens

If you're a Matt Ryan fan, smile and be happy that Jake Long is off the board. That increases the likelihood that DT Glenn Dorsey will be available at #3 for the Atlanta Falcons, which in turn increases the likelihood that Matt Ryan will not be headed to the Dirty Dirty. The Kansas City Chiefs (#5) also may want a QB, but the situation is less dire than it is in Atlanta.

If you're not a Matt Ryan fan, prepare to get used to him. It's looking increasingly likely that he may slip to Baltimore at #8. Another option would be the Chicago Bears trading up from #14 to select Ryan as the eventual successor to Rex Grossman and Kyle "Neck Beard" Orton.

In other news, Ozzie Newsome's mock draft is already 0-1.

2007 NFL Draft: Kansas City Chiefs (1.23)

LSU WR Dwayne Boye is a great selection for the Chiefs, who have a track record for opening up the passing game and being successful. Of course they'll need to find a successor to QB Trent Green, but for what it's worth, Boye is a great receiver.

Even though he might not be the fastest receiver on the block, speed is the most overrated attribute of NFL wide receivers. It's more important to run good routes, be courageous in the middle of the field and have good hand-eye coordination, all of which Boye can put down on his resume. USC WR Dwayne Jarrett might eventually be the better receiver, but either way it's a nice selection. Nice work, Kansas City.
