The shortened NFL draft immediately went long Saturday when Miami officially selected Michigan tackle Jake Long to start the proceedings.
Long signed a five-year contract with the Dolphins this week worth $57.75 million, $30 million of it guaranteed.
After commissioner Roger Goodell announced Long's name at Radio City Music Hall, the St. Louis Rams went on the clock.
The NFL cut the first round from 15 minutes per pick to 10, and the Dolphins used only a few seconds to hand in their card.
