2 of them are guaranteed to walk. And really there is no excuse for that.
I know people dont care about Dorsey, but lets be honest. There is nothing behind Dorsey thats of any talent. And do you really want Dorsey to walk and opening the chance that Pioli might draft his REPLACEMENT IN THE FIRST ROUND OF THE DRAFT. Because this place will explode if we take another d-lineman in the first round. And that very well be the case.
But yea. Bowe, Albert, Dorsey > Baldwin, Stephenson, whoever the **** would play for Dorsey lets just say Poe.
There is a gigantic backwards step and talent drop off of "Pioli's picks (guys)" as replacements to Herms.
It's an awful theory to consider. And Pioli has done a terrible job at it in four years

A lot of good points ...
For my part, it isn't that I don't care about Dorsey, it's that I think he's being asked to do something incompatible with his natural ability and instincts. Even so, you're right about the dropoff behind him.
But, when you step back and examine this overall situation ... and not just focus on the individual players ... it begins to look something like this; players don't want to be here.
Gonzo didn't want to be here. Carr didn't want to be here. Bowe doesn't want to be here. DJ almost quit the game a couple years back. On and on ...
That, my friend, is serious. Players aren't all the dumb jocks people might make them out to be. They understand the playbook of life as well as anyone their age. And they must realize that this organization is broken. Have any of these guys experienced the kind of extreme paranoia and secrecy surrounding this team? Or, have they ever been exposed to this degree of utter dysfunction? I doubt it.
When you have a team that is the home of last resort for NFL players, you have no reason to be optimistic about anything.
