I doubt he'll be the starter in year 1. Emery said he can come in and contribute right away. I don't see any way for an OL to contribute right away if he isn't on the OL. And he was drafted in the first round, so he better freaking start somewhere. Maybe Emery & crew know what they're doing, I don't know. I still think it's a terrible value pick, and it sure looks to me like they got desperate when the run on OL took place earlier in the round. It would seem that way but I don't think that's the case just based on Emery's comments. He had this guy targeted from the start. Which makes Emery all the more stupid Sleeping on this pick, we gotta see how Long develops. It's not wise to just draft on athletic ability. Especially on players that are reported to have character concerns. Self entitled spoiled rich kid was out there on him
