Was Dorsey part of the decision to draft Randall Cobb? Cobb is almost the exact same size as Brandin Cooks.

I would think he was part of the decision, but I dont know how much of a final say he had. On his wiki page, Dorsey is credited with drafting Greg Jennings who is also 5'11''. Guess we will have to see how it plays out and what Dorsey seems to consider "tall." |

Jenkins was trading 1 bust for another. Face saving move for both franchises.
CFL guy was cheap (likely replacement for McCluster) Avery was the need for speed after 2012 wrs were exposed for being slow. Chiefs didnt break the bank for him. We will have to wait and see if Dorsey's Wr philosophy is the same as his CB philosophy. |

The trade was trading speed for size. The Chiefs didn't need to save face because Dorsey and Reid didn't draft Baldwin. He just didn't fit, so they got what they could for him.

I'm not even sure if they thought he didnt "fit."
It might have been that they didnt think he was a good enough football player, and that thought process seems to be validated based on how little he produced in SF. |

BTW, planetdoc, I appreciate what you are saying here but I have serious doubts that Dorsey is just going to draft someone he likes with no input from Reid and what would fit in Reid's system. The Eagles were drafting guys like Maclin and Jackson and GB has a guy like Cobb who would fit into that system. If they go WR, I think it will be someone along those lines and not some tall possession WR.

Oh, I agree with you. Whenever they talk they say they have a shared philosophy. I think we can both agree what that philosophy is in regards to cornerbacks. I suspect that philosophy is the same for WR, but not sure.

It's more of a size to speed ratio....not just tall guys who are fast.

There is an NFL Insider article (dont have access) talking about a size/speed formula. Someone else created a Height Adjusted Speed Score (HASS), but I havent seen the formula. This is the most detailed study I have found looking analyzing 816 wide receivers. in that study, the author used an Explosive Power ratio Quote:
Nice to look at, but dont think its all that accurate. |
