The hypothetical Jared Allen/rookies poll
Would you rather have
Jared Allen lining up next to Alfonso Boone, Glenn Dorsey and Tamba Hali OR Our current patchwork DL And Branden Albert, Brad Cottam and DaJuan Morgan? I guess I'll only be satisfied with the trade if Albert turns out to be a stud LT and Cottam is the long-term replacement for Gonzalez. Morgan would be gravy. |

If we hadn't traded Allen, Dorsey wouldn't have fallen to #5 and we would have reached on Ryan Clady. That's just how the universe works.

I wonder what we would have done if we hadn't traded Allen though. Having the 17th pick gave us the flexibility to go BPA and take Dorsey. If we didn't make the trade we probably would have traded down and taken Clady. |

I don't think that way for a second.
We might have passed on the sonofabitch though for Clady. ![]()

If we don't trade Allen, and Dorsey falls to 5 (I don't see why he wouldn't have...), I don't think we draft him.
Why do I believe that? Because without that 17th pick, we don't have any possibility at all of getting both Dorsey and Albert, and in that situation, I think they ultimately decide to fill the greater need in Albert. So that extra pick, in my opinion, is what got us Dorsey. And I think this is probably a whole different draft top-to-bottom if it goes that way. There was a weird kind of momentum for us. A synchronicity. Things just fell our way, and it started with Dorsey. They (literally) got every player they wanted yesterday (I don't know how many people caught this, but apparently Herm told Jaworski the 3 guys we wanted just before the draft started, and we got every one of them...), and that just doesn't happen if Jared's on this roster. It can't happen, because we don't have the picks... So, personally, I take the draft. I think Dorsey and Albert (and Flowers) are more important to this team than Allen would have been. |

If Dorsey is who they think he is, we can find some emaciated weakside defensive end to rush the passer and it won't matter if he doesn't have a 70 million dollar contract. The DL will flourish. That's what great DT play does for you.

Jaws will never do it. He's part of the secret Herm Edwards fan club. I'm President. Our motto is "At the end of the day, you play to win the game."

Well, he was here for a cup of coffee and a thorough piss pounding in the late 80's. Plus CP, Herm, and Vermeil all have obvious Philly ties.

He has been since Vermeil. And of course he played with Herm...
