Re: Saints Trying To Move Up To #2!!!
I'm going to say this & then I'm going to leave it alone....
Dorsey won a national championship, the Outland award, the Nagurski award, the Lombardi award, & the Lott award. To think that he won all these things while being double teamed & hurt most of the season, surely one would have to see his worth. Now...if that's not proof enough that he's the best defensive player in this year's draft, what else do you need. Here's an idea....watch video of him busting through double teams & making plays in the backfield for the last three seasons & make an educated decision. Whether you want to call it "Purple & Gold Glasses Syndrome" or whatever....the simple fact that he was the best defensive player last year has already been decided by the awards he received by the people who evaluate the players in the NCAA. ScottyRo....could your opinion on Dorsey be tainted by the fact that he dominated your home team Hokies this year to the point they hardly saw the LSU side of the field? Adibi hardly made any plays in that game & got abused like a $2 hooker. I'd still be happy picking Adibi in the 2nd or 3rd round, because I still feel he's a good LB. C'mon man....take those Hokie glasses off & see Glen Dorsey for the dominant DT he is. ![]() |

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY OFF. I'm a SAINTS FAN FIRST AND FOREMOST. College football is just the farm league for the league that I love. Some of you obviously don't have the Saints first on your list of favorite teams. Hey, there's nothing wrong with that, but don't try to poke holes in me because of where I live when you are obviously letting your love for LSU affect the way you see things for the Saints. |

I never said he wasn't a good player at LSU.![]()
My glasses are black & gold and I am not going to ignore the risks just because he helped LSU win a championship. |

Not just b/c they are from the SEC (although I will admit that I am bias), but b/c they have excelled in the nation's toughest conference for 3 years in a row. As you stated above...nothing is a sure thing. However, Dorsey is as close to a sure thing in the draft as anything I have seen in the past 10 years. He would be worth the cost, especially when you consider that this is a position of great need for the Saints.

Its also the intangibles that take away much of the bust factor - hard worker, toughness, terrific teammate, smarts, awareness, experience and instincts. Again, its not just the measurables or stats. And I can not stress enough - the thing about Dorsey that makes him so valuable is the ability to make everyone around him better. Think Kevin Williams of Minnesota or Haynesworth in Tennessee. These guys take the players around them and make them better. Dorsey is that type of player.
