Chiefs Lions "might make a place" for Dorsey

Phil: I've heard on more than one occasion that the Lions should swing a deal for DT Glenn Dorsey. I haven't heard much from him in Kansas City, what has he done? What could his trade value be and why would the Chiefs trade him since they spent a 2008 1st round pick on him?
Tom Kowalski: Lions defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham was on the Chiefs' staff when Kansas City drafted him and Cunningham really likes the kid. The reason he might be available is because the Chiefs drafted Dorsey as a 4-3 defensive tackle and they've now switched schemes and he's playing a 3-4 end. Neither the Chiefs nor Dorsey is apparently happy with the results and that's why I think the Lions might make a play for him in the off-season. I still think it's a longshot, but it's a shot worth taking.
As for trade value, I'm not sure what he'd cost. I think you might see something a little creative, like swapping of picks in a round or two, as opposed to a straight-up one-for-one deal. We'll see if this heats up as we get closer to the draft.

EDIT: I meant "might make a play" but don't know how to change the subject.

Agreed!

Then we would have to take Carlos Dunlap and man that would piss some people off here. Unless someone expects Alex Mcgee to be something special.

Dunlap would have been great...if we'd stayed in a 43.

Carlos Dunlap isn't even a 5-tech.

no way. That guy's a bigger bust than Dorsey. Had him on my fantasy team riding the bench behind Chambers and Bowe.

Makes sense to me.
If we were going to do it.

I say Keep him. I think he can be a player were he's at.
Draft picks are risky. Dorsey is going to shine soon. I like he, and TJ where they are.

A "swapping of picks in a round"?

The Lions draft 2nd and we draft 5th. No amount of "swapping picks in a round" is going to be enough.

What about swapping our 2nd round pick from Atlanta for Detroits 2nd?
