#1

Predicting the 2008 NFL Draft just became a little easier. Miami signed UM tackle Jake Long to a contract likely worth nearly $60 million today. To my knowledge, this is the earliest a #1 overall pick has signed. It's refreshing to see someone just make a deal and get it done with. I suspect the fact the he was an offensive lineman made it a little easier, since they don't usually get the egos that, say, a WR gets.
