I take Dorsey in a heartbeat. Miami would be foolish not to take him #1.

If the Dolphins showed anything in last year's draft, it is that you can't predict what those crazy bastards will do.

You draft the best player available in this situation. If you don't want to do that, trade down for multiple picks, and draft the position that you want later in the first round. This draft is deep in offensive lineman, and Long is not a Joe Thomas can't miss prospect. Despite what some might say, he IS best suited for RT in the NFL. If you want to spend a top five pick on a RT, solely to draft a position of need, then I think that you would be foolish. Luckily for the Chiefs, drafting in the top five would put you in a great position to snag an elite prospect. Carl Peterson needs to take advantage of this draft to add some great players who can be cornerstones of the franchise for ten plus years. I think that means that you draft BPA, if its Long, so be it. But if Long and Dorsey are both on the board, then the question on who you should draft is a no brainer IMO.
Edit: Just saw that the Chiefs were drafting 8th. Wow, I didn't realize that you were drafting that low............

If he is the best player available, then I would agree with you. However, if both Dorsey and Long are on the board, I think that it would be foolish to pass on Dorsey just because previous defensive tackles turned out to be busts. I don't know about the Chiefs drafts the last few years, but how have they done drafting offensive lineman?

Our O line sucks so bad, I'd say take Long.
That being said, it's all a crap shoot. Sims was a first rounder and Jared Allen a fourth. Who knows how they will turn out. |

This poll should not have a trade down option, as you'd be a fucking moron to trade down with Glen Dorsey on the board.
Say the Chiefs pick 3rd. Just to move down to 10, which is where Jake Long really has the most *value* at because of his draft grade, you should ask for a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round pick. If you would pass all of that up to stay at 3 and draft Long, you should stab yourself in the eye socket with an icicle.

The guy is the best DT prospect in nearly a decade. He's *that* good.

gale sayers had injury issues. do you pass on him in the 1965 draft? I realize both of the above players are running backs. however, point stands. do you take the potential franchise player, or 'solid' player? super bowls are won on the backs of franchise players, not solid players. we've had 'solid' players for the last 18 years. true impact players are rare, and dorsey is one. |
