Moving down is the much, much smarter play in that situation. We needed both quantity and quality from this draft. That's part of the reason I believe we'd have done that.

And it's not really a matter of Dorsey and Allen (let's say they take Dorsey, as you believe and I do not...) versus Dorsey and Albert, anyway. It's Dorsey and Allen versus Dorsey and Albert and Charles and Morgan. Or if they sacrifice their 2nd, 3rd and some other group of picks to move up for a tackle, let's say it's Allen, Dorsey and, from Houston at 26, Duane Brown from VPI. Instead of Dorsey, Albert, Flowers, Charles, Cottam and Morgan.

I'll take what we got. The Allen trade got us this draft, whether it got us Glenn Dorsey or not (which I believe it did).

And I would trade Allen straight up for Dorsey 7 days a week a twice on Sunday. Even though he hasn't played a down in the NFL. Elite defensive tackles are rare. Pass rushing defensive ends are not.
I would take Dorsey as well, any day of the week, but in my mind, I believe they would have either taken Dorsey, which would have given us a terrifying D-line, or they would have accepted NOs offer, and we would be looking at Ellis, Allen, and I believe another second, and another first, and maybe a second in 2009(I can't remember) in next years draft. Or we would have used the picks we got from NO to trade up, and we'd be looking at Allen, Ellis, and Albert. OR we use the picks we would have gotten, and next year went after Oher with the picks we aquired. Don't get me wrong, I like what transpired. I just don't think we would have passed on Dorsey.
I'm happy with what we got, I just don't think we can ask whether we would rather have Dorsey, or Allen, because I believe we would have them both.
