I'm curious...what constitutes a "2nd overall type of guy?"
Chris Long, as much as I know...
Never takes plays off.
Produces sacks for the stat monkeys.
One of the highest amount of QB pressures/hurries in the NFL.
Rarely misses games.
Provides a veteran presence, leader, etc.
And like you said, good run defender, and makes that RT sore after games.
Seems to me he's a complete player and an important part of this team.
I think it's high time we stop putting labels next players regarding draft positions, salaries, and whatnot that has no effect of on-field performance. It's up to the player himself to produce.
For me, Top 5 guys go to TD makers. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade him for any other LE in football. The dude is a beast. I think people get to caught up in stats. But with that said, if I was a GM and im picking 2, Our problems are probably deeper than a DE. I would be going with a skill position.
