That's why I like Vernon Butler and WJIII so much. They are ready now and have very few cons.
I'm not a big fan of Vonn Bell, and I think he's a 2nd rd talent. I could see him being taken as a "dark horse" but I agree he has some holes in his game. Same as Artie Burns. He's got good characteristics, but he's weak as hell (7 bench reps) and he's hot and cold. But Dorsey could take him bc he fits the measurables matrix.
Dorsey dominated the draft last year bc he took players with few cons from their play on the field, their measurables and attitude. He didn't draft that way before and look at the difference?
I want to draft a Marcus Peters/Mitch Morse this season, not an Eric Fisher or Dee Ford development prospect.

Lol the comparison I made with Dee Ford ends there. It doesn't mean Alexander can't contribute right way. I don't see how you can say he isn't more polished than those two. He's a better cover corner than both those guys right now.
Dorsey didn't change his philosophy. He took the BPA and it just so happened to be two guys that could contribute right away. I don't think Dorsey is going to pass a guy up because he isn't 100% ready day 1. He's not short sighted.
Not every draft pick can come in and contribute right away. Sometimes you have to take the guy that might take a little time because he's simply the better option.
As for Dee Ford, I think he's right where Dorsey expected him to be going into year 3, just like Fisher.
