I just don't see this mindset of "Dorsey will keep plugging holes" when Dorsey has yet show he can consistently draft impact players. Plugging the hole left by Kendrick Lewis is not the same task as plugging the hole left by Tamba Hali.

That's not the point.

an entire roster can't be filled with Eric Berry type talents. You can only hope that you can find a top 10 caliber football player at their position for every level of the team.
Dorsey was handed 5 players that were legit top 10 talents at their position: Berry, JC, DJ, Tamba, Houston and Poe (I guess 6 if you count Colquitt but he's a ****ing punter so for sake of the argument he won't be included).

In 3 years, Dorsey has added 5 premium talents that could be argued as top 10 players as of today: Peters, Maclin, Schwartz, Kelce, Morse.

The best you can offer is a premium player at a position surrounded by above average contributors.

Well, 10 players that are legit "top 10" talents at their position are on this team surrounded by a lot of good role players. Yes you can throw out the fact that Tamba and DJ are old, but they don't look like they are off the tracks yet (Tamba has knee issues tho so we'll see).

Other than that, Idk what else you want.
