We all will just have to trust Parcells, although I don't see how an offensive tackle is going to help the Dolphins make the playoffs.
Having a quality running back, receivers, and quarterback AT THE SAME TIME would be a first.

You rebuild a team inside out. A good O-line makes an average QB better and it allows your RB a chance to get into the secondary. D-Lines negate offensive talent. I don’t care how good the skill positions are.

There's a reason left tackle is the second-highest paid position in football. He's the most important player on the offense after the quarterback, and, unlike running backs and receivers, the combination of abilities required to make a great one is very rare.
If Jake Long's the real deal, which he seems to be, then this is probably the best pick they could have made. The Dolphins absolutely have to rebuild their offensive line if they're going to do anything in the next few seasons.
