But Dorsey's physical flaws are forgiveable? I wouldn't want to take a guy at #5 who has had leg problems in the past. By you're logic anyway, that is what I should think isn't it?

But I'll be happy with anyone we do or do not take, any scenario, except for Matt Ryan. I think there is talent to be had at QB in later rounds. If we were going to draft one, I personally like Flacco, not b/c of what I've read on him, but b/c of what I saw when I watched him play.

The way I see it, if the defense improves, not only will it be less stress on the offense, but more opportunities for them as well. I can see our O-line being better next year if only by subtraction. Probably not, but I like the possibility of these young guys coming in. I do think McIntosh would be a much better RT, I know he may have been fighting that injury all year, but he did allow something like 7 sacks, and left something to be desired in the run game. Which is kind of our offensive bread and butter right now.
