The best
draft of the day by far, DT Glenn Dorsey
dropped in their laps at number 5.
Dorsey will be an all-pro for years and
can anchor a defense, he was rated the
best player on any board by far. With a
second No. 1, they moved up two spots
and grabbed OL Branden Albert, who could
be their answer at LT and at the least
will play G at a pro bowl level. Two big
holes filled, though there are still
questions about end, the Chiefs think
tehy can rotate ends and that Hali can
step up to replace Jared Allen. CB
Brandon Flowers might lack raw speed but
plays a physical style and is the
PERFECT cornerback for the cover 2 the
Chiefs play. He was rated as first round
talent. Jamaal Charles was also a nice
value in the third round, really every
player the Chiefs picked for the most
part were all football players who can
contribute even if only on special
teams.

Dorsey will be a serious upgrade to the D-Line and
would help solidify their run defense. Dorsey has
the speed and quickness to pressure and disrupt.
It has been strange with the injury questions, but
they never affected his play.
Notes:
Dorsey was awarded the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, the
Outland Trophy, the Lott Trophy and the Lombardi
Award, becoming the only player to have won all four
awards. Team captain for LSU’s 2007 national
championship team.

An OG with LT
potential, the word out of Kansas City is that he’d
be the pick over Ryan Clady, Jeff Otah, or Chris
Williams. Obviously, the Chiefs worked this
draft to perfection.
