Here's what you need to know about this year's No. 1 pick:
Four year starter.
Two penalties. Two sacks. One of them came against Vernon Gholston -- likely a Top 5 pick.
That's not one season. That's four seasons.
I've been saying he's as every bit of good as Joe Thomas, Cleveland's No. 3 pick last year and Pro Bowl tackle form Wisconsin.
Now we move on to the Rams, who I think will start a run on defensive linemen.
How would I rank these defensive linemen? Well, there are two ways I want to rank.
First, best in college:
Glenn Dorsey
Chris Long
Sedrick Ellis
Vernon Gholston
Derrick Harvey
Now, most attractive draft picks:
Vernon Gholston
Chris Long
Derrick Harvey
Glenn Dorsey
Sedrick Ellis
Will they be drafted in that second order? Unless the Rams draft Dorsey (which they won't based on need), the Falcons will.
So in what order will they be picked?
Gholston
Dorsey
Long
Harvey
Ellis
All likely before Pick No. 12 rolls around.
