I was kind of hoping that he'd fall from a network perspective. NFL Hall of Famer Howie Long from FOX NFL Sunday was getting a lot of screen time on rival networks as the countdown for the Rams' pick came down. Hey, it's always good to see a friendly face.

Chris Long becomes an instant player at defensive end for the Rams alongside Adam Carriker, the behemoth from Nebraska who now owns the middle of the defensive line. Long is a high-intensity player who has a knack for getting into the backfield. Don't let the surname make you skeptical. This kid can play.

For what it's worth, Long is the fifth son of a Hall of Famer to hear his name called on draft day.

There's no drama at No. 3 - Matt Ryan is the pick for Atlanta
