Chris Long's new four-year extension with the St. Louis Rams puts him in strong company among top NFL draft choices from the 2008 class.

Long joins New England's Jerod Mayo as players among the top 10 choices to re-sign with their drafting teams. That group was pretty strong overall, as the chart indicates. A few more players, notably Jake Long and Matt Ryan, figure to cash in at some point in the not-too-distant future.

That the Rams and Patriots moved quickly to get deals done reflects well on Long and Mayo. They're young, rising players to build around.

Yep, me too, same thing. I think more people liked Dorsey over Gholston, but we picked the right guy, clearly.

I agree, we did pick the right guy. But, I don't think Dorsey has been given a fair shot in KC. He's a 4-3 DT, not a 3-4 DE. I think if he was on a team that played a 4-3, he would play better...kind of like Adam Carriker.
