I think ILB is the one position Dorsey will need to spend $$ on. It's easily his worst position and he's missed on a lot of guys there in the draft.

If he's slowing down, he's a smarter, slower version of Mauga.
So he may not be a better version, he'd just be a different, similarly effective version. And remember, Mauga was fine as the Ted but he kinda sucked at the Mike when DJ was lost for the year the last time.
There's not a lot of leeway here when it comes to his baseline athleticism. If it falls as far as most older players do when they suffer an achilles, he's going to struggle to maintain any real effectiveness in a significant role.
I hate it, but you're better off being realistic about someone's prognosis than just whistling past the graveyard.
