Somewhat admire the guy for his conviction to what he believes. Now the big question, is what he believes valid. You can never play the game, we could have gotten him in the next round, we will never know. Its easy for me to imagine Long being available in the 3rd round, however. I am shocked a player with only 4 starts in college, could ever be a first round draft pick.
Else wise, I think there would have been an offer that he couldn't refuse and he would have traded back.
