Pats, Giants, Colts, look at their drafts and it's not just R1 picks that made their teams...

And suppose, given his injury history, Dorsey goes down, who do you have to step up or pick up their game from their position?!?

(Added)

And in '03, didn't we move up to get "Can't Miss" Johnathan Sullivan when we could have had Troy Polamalu, Calvin Pace, Dallas Clark, Nnamdi Asomugha with later R1 picks?!?

Again, too many people want to put Dorsey in a Wedding Dress (Rickey Williams Syndrome)

If Dorsey goes down, you have the same DTs from last season. If you wait and draft a DT in the 2nd round and they go down, you have the same DTs from last season. Your point??

And who ever labeled Jonathan Sullivan as a cant miss prospect. Few people even had him ranked in the top 5 DTs coming out that year (Robertson, Jimmy Kennedy, William Joseph, Kevin Williams, Ty Warren)

And what sort of football sense are you using to equate Dorsey to Sullivan?

Dorsey - Strong, powerful, plays with good leverage
Sullivan - Despite his size, plays too high and without proper leverage

Dorsey - Hard worker, extremely active, non stop motor
Sullivan - History of being labeled as lazy and takes plays off

Dorsey - Agile and changes direction quickly
Sullivan - HAHAHAHAHA

Dorsey - Very experienced, 4 years as a regular sub or starter
Sullivan - 1 year wonder
