Unfortunately there's virtually no chance of Ellis falling to 10 with Cincinnati at 9. As for Dorsey, it all seems to depend on St. Louis and Atlanta. St. Louis could go with Jake Long if Miami decides to go with Chris Long and Arthur Blank may exert enough influence on Dimitrov to pick Ryan at #3. With Oakland already paying that no name part timer $50 million to play tackle, KC really needing to upgrade the Oline, after #3 there is actually a shot of Dorsey dropping into the second half of the 1st round.

But Ellis will not make it past 9. The Saints would have to jump up to 8 or 7 to get the guy.

Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.

I think whomever NE ends up drafting will be the guy we wanted. Ryan could drop to Baltimore, who would take him in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, that still leaves a couple of teams who just could not pass up Ellis.

I don't think getting Ellis instead of Rivers is worth a second rounder, especially the #40 pick.

Re: Draft experts: Are Dorsey and Ellis peas in a pod?

My friend's brother is a scout for the Jags and I've asked him about alot of the guys that we talk about on this board. In regards to Ellis he told me that he isn't a good athlete and he's slew footed. He had to explain that slew footed means that a players feet point out when they run and that hurts agility.

He thinks Dorsey will be a good pro but not the second coming of Sapp. He said that Dorsey should be a much better pass rusher in the NFL because offenses won't be able to put two or three guys on him every down.
