Just my 2 cents.

If you are just looking for the athlete, to have an advantage over a DB, I'll take Long as an UDFA. He has experience catching the ball and if we are just looking for a project, why "waste" a draft pick on that? There are plenty of projects to be found after the draft. This team could draft a starter in the 4th round and it's 5th round picks could get significant playing time as a rotational player on the DLine or a player who could challenge Diles at WLB.
This team has enough holes that it doesn't have the luxury of drafting projects. We should be seeking solid contributors with every pick.
