If you go back to the year 2000 and look at the draft classes of DT's picked in the top 10 then Dorsey is underperforming. I'll leave Okoye out since everyone is saying you need 3 years. The guys that come in strong appear to have the ability to keep it up with the exception of Warren who is merely average. The guys who started off slow pretty much busted.
Robertson (Jets 4th) - 34 tackles and 1.5 sacks. Current status - slumming with Denver.
Sullivan (Saints 6th) - 26 tackles and 1 sack. Current Status - out of football.
K. Williams (Vikings 9th) - * 18 tackles, 5 sacks, 1ff, 1 INT. - Status - Pro Bowl player**
R. Sims (KC) - only started 2 games rookie year. First full year 35 tackles and 3 sacks. Status - rotational DT with the Bucs.
J. Henderson (Jax 9th) - 46 tackles and 6.5 sacks. Status - High quality player.
G. Warren (Browns 3rd) - 48 tackles and 5.0 sacks. Status - starter Raiders.
Corey Simon (Eagles 6th) 38 tackles and 9.5 sacks. Status - After a strong 4 years he ballooned in weight and started holding out. He got fatter, got hurt and is retired (I believe).
* Kevin Williams played 4 games at the end of the year at DT. He started at LDE. The stats posted were his DT stats only (month of December).
