Should the Chiefs have drafted Sedrick Ellis over Dorsey?
Just comparing the stats......seems as though Ellis has been more a force so far than Dorsey.....thoughts?

Herm and Carl could not have seen the team jamming a square peg into a round hole by converting to the 3-4 a year after drafting Dorsey. It was absolutely the right pick at the time. Matt Ryan was gone already. Dorsey was near the top of everybody's draft boards. It was absolutely the right call.

It would have been a better pick had we been in a 3-4, because people believe that Ellis can man the 0 technique in a 3-4.
That said, Dorsey was clearly a superior prospect to Ellis coming out, and you can't blame Carl, Herm, and Kuharich on Pioli's insistence that we marginalize the only talented player in our front 7 to chase a trend that is ill-suited to his talents.

It just wouldn't be Chiefs Planet without shit like this. At least we got Tyson Jackson to bolster the D-Line. Who will be the first to say Dorsey for Stafford and three firsts because Detroit wants him in this thread?

This does raise an interesting point about the draft.
If you draft the obvious selection at a certain slot and he busts, it's hard to blame the GM for making that pick because he was the consensus selection at that spot. That is the way the draft falls at times. However, when you reach to take someone, or you pass a superior prospect up and they bust, it's far worse. If Oher busts for the Ravens (obviously not happening) it's not nearly as bad as if Pettigrew does for the Lions. That's one of the things that made the Jackson pick so bad. It's not that he hasn't lived up to his draft position, as Dorsey really hasn't either yet, it's that he is looking like both a reach and a bust.

No.
Anyone that says yes is a ****ing revisionist history one who sucks the penis and deserves to have their balls pulled through their asshole. Dorsey was THE OBVIOUS PICK. DJ was THE OBVIOUS PICK. Berry was THE OBVIOUS PICK. I know it's fun to play what if and be arm-chair GM's; but this isn't the case to dispute. |
