PlayAction Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 According to JLC, Blache considers getting a three technique DT to be his top priority for the Defense. I don't think there will be any first round talent DTs available when the Skins pick at 21. We can dream about how the Skins would improve if they could get Dorsey.

@DCGoldPants Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 If by chance he fell that far. Don't you think other teams with more to offer would jump on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McD5 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 You would have to pry Dorsey from Parcell's cold, dead hands. Dallas would jump ahead of us the second that they caught wind of us offering to trade our 1st picks for the next 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 If by chance he fell that far. Don't you think other teams with more to offer would jump on that? If he fell beyond three, it would be a seller's market for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas can easily move into the top 8 by trading its 2 first rounders. It can probably be into the top five with an additional pick if it wanted to. I actually think Dallas is going to trade down again for future picks. I don't think that they think they need that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laron Burgundy Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 To give you an idea of how much this trade would cost us look at the chargers-giants trade of 2004. Basically to go up from 4th to 1st the giants had to give up their 1st, 3rd, 5th, and the next year's 1st. We'd have to trade much more than that for this trade. If we traded for the 4th pick overall we'd have to give up our 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and next year's 2nd. That's a hefty price to pay for one player.

Captain James Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Simple answer... HECK YES!!! I'm a huuuuuge LSU fan as well but that's not the only reason I think we should snag him. He's pretty much what our defense needs too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Plastic Skins Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 The problem with trying to get player like Dorsey in our position is that while he may be the best player at a position of need, he's not the type of player you mortgage the house for. If we needed a RB, McFadden might be the type of player you do that for. If WR was a big position of need last year, maybe we make a similar move for Calvin Johnson. But dominant DTs are too often not found at the top of the draft. The amount we would need to give up just wouldn't be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYskins Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I agree. He will go to Miami #1 unless they trade the pick (which is likely). I just dont see us having the goods... Its a dream. Keep our picks and make the best of what we have. Quantity baby!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyvern Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 The OP is a great judge of talent. Dorsey looks like a can't miss prospect and someone who could dramatically change our defensive line for the better. However, the price tag would be too high, in terms of salary and signing bonus as well as what we have to trade to get that high of a first-rounder to get Dorsey. That part would require giving up many future picks and possibly decent low-salaried players. Then when you consider that the 2008 Zornskins win-loss record might slide from what we did in 2007 - giving away that 2009 high first-rounder could wind up being even more expensive. Frankly, I suspect Danny/Vinny/Zorny will commence with their overhaul of the Gibbskins between this year's and next year's draft. If that is the case, they're going to need most of their 2008 and 2009 picks to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Skinhead in Saints Land Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Being from Louisiana, and being a huge LSU fan I would love to have Dorsey. He's a beastmaster, but there is no why we can trade up to get him unless we trade our whole draft and then some. Like some of you said...this year we need quanity.

Smoot Point Really Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Dorsey is great, but Sedrick Ellis is probably just as good... There is a lot of depth along the DL this year. BPA at 21 just may be a DL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadium-Armory Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Don't know the cap/money implications, but all else being equal I'd rather trade up to get Glenn Dorsey, than trade our pick(s) for Chad Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
