What he prefers are NFL-caliber above-average athletes who Dorsey can then rely on the staff to coach them up. There are exceptions to this (Ramik Wilson, Zach Fulton), but Dorsey likes guys who explode on tape and lets the coaching staff worry about the back end. All three players have things to like, in particular I'm excited to see what Eligwe can do in the wide-open competition for ILB. McQuay will be interesting to take a look at here in a season or two, if he can make the roster.

I think Dorsey is willing to toss a bone or two to Toub every year.
I think Chesson and McQuay are guys he drafted because Toub wanted them. I wouldn't be surprised if Toub really banged on the table for Chesson.
In the 3rd day, I think you can count on one or two of those picks every year being guys that Dorsey has every expectation to contribute immediately on special teams. Perhaps that's just a natural product of a preference for athletes, but I think the preference for athletes late could just as easily be the byproduct of Dorsey looking for STs help in those rounds as well.
