There are a few reasons. For one, you almost never see a trade like that for a top-5 pick, especially a D player, from a year ago.

We don't really know what Dorsey can do. Could be he has the leverage, strength, and quickness to have a special role in a hybrid defense.

I gotta say though, it does make sense. He's much more valuable in the 4-3, and only one year removed from the draft teams would be more likely to judge him by the scouting report they had on him coming out, which keeps his value high despite his down year. Hopefully they realize Herm wasn't using Dorsey to rush like he should've been.

What do you think we could get for him?
