You are only looking at it from one side of the picture though.
Its no coincidence at all that Dorsey and Jackson are having the best seasons of their careers.
And the reason is simple. They were attacking d linemen in College, that were on attack mode every single play, and when they played in Kansas City, they were told to hold their blocks, and stop the run.
That was their job. Its phenomenal, what a difference it makes for players when their coaches put them in a position to succeed.
You have two defensive linemen that in college did nothing but attack, in Tyson, and Poe, and one who knows the role he is placed in. He plays in the Justin Smith elephant end spot. His job much like justins is to free up Hali to have one on one blocking like Justin Smith did for Aldon Smith.
Some times, way to much is placed on the PLAYER, and not paid attention to the situation he is being put into.
Was Tyson Jackson picked too high? Well yeah, if your entire idea for him was to be a run stopper.
That would be like Cleveland selecting Barkevious Mingo this year to be a tight end covering LB.
Its a waste.
