I thought it was 6th. Eh, close enough either way.
But as we've often noted around here, one of Dorsey's greatest strengths has been his ability to build young, effective,
cheap depth. And yeah, he's found a couple of young foundational players in Kelce and probably Peters. But DJ and Hali are in dire need of replacement and Berry's probably not staying. Poe may not be worth what he's going to ask for as well. And while nobody will care for this opinion at all, Houston's best days are behind him, IMO. Lower body injuries add up and age gets to everyone.
We're not at critical mass by any means and one homerun draft could fix everything, but this stings a bit and regardless of how you want to spin it, this isn't an endorsement of Dorsey, it's an indictment.
Whatever led to this, it can't happen again. You can't have a pick in the top 75 that is so goddamn bad, either due to talent or attitude, that you can't even be bothered to red shirt him for a year with all the other 'who gives a shit' guys that don't dress out every week.
The fact that none of us have been able to come up with a single example of this in the last 10+ years speaks volumes. This just doesn't happen - it
can't happen.
