atlfalcon2184 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 norwood32 (12/7/2007)Long or Brohm. I would be happy with any of them. If we could get both we just pulled a Cleveland and i like it!Long is not near as good as Joe Thomas. There is a good possibility he won't even play LT in the NFL. I don't know how far Brohm will fall either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ol'_dirty2 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I say go with Dorsey, but I sure would love to have DMC.
