And the other thing is that many question the strength of Dorsey in the legs. He's got tremendous upper-body strength, but the concerns about the health of his knees might have kept him from building the strength in his legs that would really help him gain that leverage.
Nose tackle is not a good use of his strengths. He is a typical 4-3 DT and he should be playing one-gap. At DE, he could actually do okay, as long as his height isn't a big problem. Unfortunately, it keeps him from exploding into the backfield, which is his strength, but hey... that's just a sacrifice we'll have to make.

Last year, I think he did much better than people give him credit for. He will have a full year in the Chiefs weight program and that will help him add a few pounds and strengthen his legs.
His height at NT isn't a problem because it allows him to stay low and maintain leverage.
All in all, I think he will be a fine fit and play NT and End at different times this year. I think the Chiefs will keep him at NT full time if he can add 30 lbs.
If he can get above 325, at 6'1"... he should be fine.
