That's the nature of devaluation in the NFL. If you aren't putting up Jared Allen like numbers, there isn't a team in the league, no matter how desperate they are for a DT (e.g., Detroit), that is going to give the Chiefs a first round draft pick back for Dorsey. I wish it was the case, but because he's playing out of position, he hasn't been able to produce on the field to the level that he is probably capable of. A second and a fourth/fifth is about all you'd be able to get for him at this point I would imagine.

I suppose by your fool-proof evaluation method that Dorsey somehow didn't make any progress either last year, right?

I think he made progress as the season wore on, but it wasn't anything to write home about. I think he does have good value to certain teams, and if you could move up into the #1 spot, pick up Suh (who has everything to be a dominant force at the five tech DE position), trade Dorsey and get those picks back that it took to move up to the one spot, I'd do it. Easily. At that point, you could go with a Cam Thomas or Kade Weston at the NT spot later in the draft as Suh and Jackson as bookend DE's would be a load.
