or Dorsey a dominate player who will start day one... hmmm decisions, decisions, DORSEY!

Let's try to keep a little perspective. Writing off a second round pick as an automatic "average player or backup" is ridiculous. I could spend the time giving examples of guys who went in the second round who were hall of famers. I could also show a bunch of guys who went in much later rounds and who are best-of-the-best at their position and likely hall-of-famers.

There's certainly some risk in moving up, but I can understand the thinking behind it. There are also some good arguments to stand where we are in the draft. Neither idea is one I would consider foolish, when based upon reasoned points.

This is a week draft class... making picks is a gamble. Now I am ok with staying put and getting Rivers and I don't care who else after that because they aren't a whole lot out there that I like. To much gambling on those picks. I'd give up a 2nd to take my chances with Dorsey. Not only that but take into account that we have some CB's with rings already and the key ingredient we are missning from our CB's getting another ring??? PASS RUSH! Get Dorsey.
