I realized the extreme need for a WR. I'll counter that while Bowe has been outstanding, having that much of an upgrade at the T position would probably have improved the performance of the entire offense. I suppose I'd select Dorsey, but they'd better have a damn good option with either a FA or 2nd round OT. |

Dorsey is probably the best talent in this draft. He is a game-changing menace. You can go out and sign a Flozell Adams to play LT and move McIntosh to RT. You can't find a Glen Dorsey in FA. And the people that are saying that because we drafted Ryan Sims, we can't take a chance on a DT, stop watching football please.

My feeling is this, this team is bad and this is more than a 1 year thing....
In this scenario...you take Dorsey, then you get a OT in the 2nd...a guard somewhere in the mid rounds...then come back with your elite LT next year. |

it's the short term vs the long term we got the player with the biggest upside in Bowe, and what looks like a true #1 WR, and now we can look for a LT...I just think we need to do this consistently...then in 2-3 years we'll loaded...I don't want to draft an inferior player just to win an extra game next year....

Wow. I love the judgement of Jake Long.. I have watched every game he played for U-M and he IS an elite player. He has given up ONE sack this year.
I hope enough Pro GM's are as dumb as you guys... maybe he will fall to us. We will probably need a top 3 pick to get him. |

Jake Long doesn't have the feet to deal with speed rushers.....that's his knock. He's a big monster run blocker though....this is why people are saying he projects out as a RT....his strengths are what you look for in RT's....

I don't get the knock on Long... how do you know what he "can't" handle??? Gholston is 1st/2nd round talent and he only got past Long ONCE. |

Well I think it's funny that you think Jake Long is a top 3 pick.....but hey to each their own right.
I do like how you leave out the fact that Michigan runs the ball 50 times a game...so his sack totals aren't that relevant to me. And that the Big 10 wasn't all that good this year...and I don't see any elite DE's.. Long has issues with speed rushers he has slow feet, he's a excellent run blocker...which makes him look outstanding at Michigan. I wouldn't be surprised to see him have a career just like Jeff Backus. |

Like I said, I think he's a good prospect, just not an elite prospect. I think there are several guys that should go before him in the draft.

isn't that what everyone has been saying? do you spend a top 5 pick on a guy who is perceived to be a better RT? it is simple really, if the Chiefs think Long is an elite LT then they would draft him, if they don't they would draft Dorsey/Ellis...all hypothetical of course...

Fixing the OL is more important, but I suppose if Dorsey's on the board, you have to take him.
I'm guessing this won't be something Carl will have to deal with anyway. |

Vernon Gholston will go in the 1st or VERY early 2nd round... not a bad player to hold to ONE sack. Also, Michigan attempted 384 passes this year. That's 32 attempts a game. That is the same as Oregon, and only 3 behind USC. Did you watch a SINGLE game of his or are you basing this on what you have read? Dorsey is good but so is Long and Long is a safer pick given Dorsey's nagging injuries and attitude. |

Will you change your tune if Long doesn't give up a sack versus Derrick Harvey in the Capital One Bowl?
