I guess the question would become whether or not K.C. thought Dorsey could play DE in the 3-4 and move about in "hybrid" formations.

I would think that a D-line with Raji and Dorsey, combined with having Thomas and Vrabel for linebackers, would be a good start for Pioli's first solo season. Combine that with Cassel Throwing to Bowe, Engram and Gonzalez, and Johnson running the ball when he's not abusing women, and K.C. could show some real improvement even if it doesn't translate to wins immediately.

On the other hand, if the Chiefs think Dorsey can hold up at NT, then putting Curry next to Thomas and Vrabel also makes a hell of a lot of sense, as Curry could learn from two of the very best in the game. To me, the K.C. pick really comes down to 2 things:

1.) Do the Chiefs think Cassel is the long term answer?

2.) Do the Chiefs think Dorsey can play NT?

If the answer to question #1 is no, look for them to draft Sanchez and let him sit for a year to learn the game. If the answer is yes, look for them to decide between Curry and Raji based upon question #2.





Of course, since I think I've got a feel for the situation, they'll trade out of the pick or draft a wide receiver.....

Tank has already gone on record as saying Dorsey will be playing the under tackle spot. I think that question has been pretty much answered.
