It's ridiculous for you to say Pioli drafted well and then turn around and say it's time to fire Dorsey because of his drafts. Pioli's picks have been in the league long enough to prove that the majority of them are steaming piles of donkey shit. Dorsey's picks haven't completed 2 seasons yet. Here are Dorsey's picks so far.
2013
Fisher--Starting at LT and he has struggled. He played better than I expected on Sunday.
Kelce--Looks to have the potential to be a good starting TE.
Knile Davis--showed in limited time last season that he is adequate when called upon.
Nico--bad pick. He has zero instincts for the game.
Commings--can't stay healthy. Bad pick.
Eric Kush--future starter on the OL. Has looked good in limited action.
Braden Wilson--bad pick.
Catapano--Lot of excitement over this player, but he hasn't shown anything yet. Jury is out.
2014
Dee Ford--Lightning fast first step. Eventual successor to Hali.
Phillip Gaines--Looked lost in the preseason, but has press cover skills.
D'Anthony Thomas--Great return man with better skills than McCluster.
Aaron Murray--At one time was touted as a first round pick. Had good and bad moments in preseason.
Zach Fulton--Starter at guard and looks outmatched.
Laurent Duvernay-Tardiff--Complete project.
3 players from his first draft are playing significant minutes with 2 more that look like they could be regular contributors in the future. That kind of draft isn't exceptional, but it is pretty standard for the majority of GMs. Definitely not worthy of a "fire his ass" thread during his second season.
