Kc if you really want Dorsett we need to trade down with Arizona they have 24th pick and need a RB. They have to get ahead of Dallas to do that so they may be willing to trade up. Try to get an extra second or third out of the deal and take Dorsett who will be somewhere between 24-31 picks.
I'm all for it love Phillip. For ILB I may be in the minority I want Perryman he reminds me of Ray Lewis and Jonathan vilma the way he plays. We need that nasty swagger ILB who makes you think twice bout going over the middle. Third round I like tre mcbride or Austin Hill I think Austin is a definite sleeper he is fully recovered from injury. Finally I want David Parry from Stanford somewhere in this draft. The guy has a motor that doesn't stop and versatility can play both DT or DE. He would add great depth and eventually challenge for a starting position. |

Does it concern you that we'll have almost no red zone threats in our offense?

I KIND of like that you're targeting Henderson State's QB as a UDFA, because Henderson State has been the NCAA leader in many offensive categories lately, but it should be pointed out that lots of the throws from that system are about 5 yards (that get taken for extra YPG because they've got packages that are similar to pick plays but utilize much more space). He miiiiiight be worth a developmental flyer in a west coast offense, but I don't see a high ceiling on him at all. If anything you should be looking at the WRs from that team if you want to get an HSU player as a UDFA, especially Darius Davis.

You done jumped the ****in' shark.
Dorsett in the first round? That's ****ing nuts after spending big money on Maclin and an emerging Albert Wilson on the roster (along with DAT). ****ing nuts. ****ing. Nuts. Nuts. Nuts. And that seventh rounder sucks ass. Anthony, McBride and Anderson are solid picks though. However, they do not offset the ****ing insanity that dropped in the first round. Who made that ****ing pick? Henry Cyril Paget from the ****ing grave? |

An outstanding mock.. truly. Only change I would make would be to sub in a CB instead of the DE... or maybe a NT while Amos plays CB at first. Either way... it's real good.

LOL. One says good mock the other says I'm a nut. Love this place.
I'm not sure how else to really defend the pick of Dorsett than what I wrote. Getting open = Touchdowns. Jackson got 9 and 6 TDs playing opposite Maclin. That would be a huge improvement over 0. Antonio Brown has had at least 5 TDs in each of the last 3 seasons. Why does being small mean players will never score? Also, the Chiefs would have Maclin, McBride, and Avant all at 6'0" and I think Rogers has a great chance to make this team at 6'2"... Maclin, Dorsett, McBride, Wilson, and Thomas gives you 5 weapons that can all, literally, take it yard on any play. This team needs weapons that Alex Smith can throw to. He isn't going to throw it into a tight-to-nonexistent window in the red zone very often anyhow so why worry about drafting 6'3" 220 lb guys that can't separate? |

Sac might still call me nuts, but I can just about guarantee that Dorsett is going round 1. I really hope KC is the team that takes him. I think he has the potential to be pretty special. He had a really shitty QB that couldn't read a defense to play with too, so keep that in mind if you evaluate off of stats.
Someone asked me why I like Dorsett so much... this was my reply... Lets start with traits... 1. SPEED For starters, lets just begin with the obvious. Absolutely ridiculous speed. Dorsett has the kind of speed that only a few in the entire NFL possess. The kid runs legitimate times in the 4.2's. That not just fast, that's blurry. This means that if a corner messes up, even for a split second, Dorsett is behind him. He's gone. There is no, "well maybe he'll recover," when it comes to coverage against Dorsett. He toasts DBs. He can eat up a 10 yard cushion and gain 4-5 yards on a deep route in a matter of a couple seconds. He has track speed and he uses it on the field. 2. AGILITY This kid can not only fly, he can cut and turn on a dime. This kid can snap routes off. Corners have to respect him deep, and that allows him to get some cushion more often than not, and with his agility he can break that route so quickly and then accelerate, its mind-blowing. He left Ronald Darby, one of the fastest and most agile CBs in this draft in the dust this season. He can do it to any CB in the NFL too. He's got that kind of quickness. He can turn a defender inside out and back again. 3. ACCELERATION Not only can this kid reach a top speed that is blistering, he gets to that speed very quickly. I talked about his agility, his ability to hunker down and cut his route immediately, but its his accelaration out of that break that makes him incredibly diffiult to cover on slants, digs, and such. He leaves corners behind out of his break. I'm not talking a little bit, I'm talking yards. He can get Alex Smith open, and he can do it immediately. 4. CATCH IN TRAFFIC This kid can catch the football in tough situations. He can take a hit. He can go up and make a play. He doesn't have to do it often, but he's shown that he can. He's aware, and he makes good efforts. 5. AWARENESS Dorsett knows where he is on the sideline. He knows where he is in space. He's made quite a few good catches that show you he can do it. Now, does he need work? Yes. He has good hands, he doesn't have amazing hands. I'm not saying he drops the ball, he just double-catches alot. Devin Smith has the same problem. Breshad Perriman has the same problem. Dorial Green-Beckham has this problem. So does Nelson Agholor, so do many of the receivers coming out of college. It isn't something that I worry about. Hitting the jugs machine will help these guys. He isn't a ball dropper, in fact, he's pretty damn good in that regard. He just needs to get to that top flight level. He needs to work on his routes. He's so fast, he's so quick, he hasn't had to be as crisp as you'd like to see him be. There is no reason that can't be taught in the NFL. He can get better at that. Now what can he do for your team? 1. BIG PLAY ABILITY He's going to be able to get deep and he's going to make teams pay. He can track the ball over his shoulder and make the catch in stride deep down the field. You can't teach this. Devin Smith has it in this draft. Very few players are legitimately good at tracking deep balls, and Dorsett can. 2. SHORT TO LONG This is a guy that is going to take those 5 yard passes and turn them into 20 yard gains or more on a regular basis. He's so fast and agile, he's going to pull away from defenders. He's got that wiggle, he's going to make players look silly in space. Ameer Abdullah has that ability this year too. This is a dynamic missing in KC's offense from a year ago. They didn't have that playmaker that could really score form anywhere on the field outside of Charles. You have to have a receiver that can put you in good situations, and I don't see a player that can flip a field in a heartbeat like Dorsett. 3. DICTATE COVERAGE That's right. People think you can press a guy like Dorsett. No, no you can't. You can't do it often anyhow. He's so quick, defenders aren't going to be able to get their hands on him very well. If they miss that press, and they will, its 6 points period. Defenses aren't going to give Dorsett an opportunity to torch them if they can avoid it. They have to play man no press and live with him getting some underneath, or are at a severe risk of getting burned. If they play off coverage, they are going to get eaten alive with quick underneath routes. Dorsett can dictate coverage to some extent and that is a bonus. What can't he do, or better yet, what does he need to work on? Well, blocking. This kid can't block a guy out of a play. He tries and he's OK. He needs to learn how to position himself better.. If he can just learn to do a bit more than kind of shield guys, he'll be more than good enough. He's not terrible here, he's better than Devin Smith by a mile at blocking. What kind of player do I see Dorsett as? DeSean Jackson. He's just that fast, that quick, that type of playmaker. If you knew you'd get the production out of DeSean Jackson that he's had in this league, would you wait until round 2 to snap him up? Me neither. Some gifs for your entertainment... |

His routes are sloppy, but that can be fixed.
But you can not teach speed, and he gets 20 yards downfield in an eye blink. That's impressive.

Same dude:
And you'll get him much cheaper than a first rounder. Besides, if Goodley didn't start the 2014 with a quad injury, you'd be talking about him versus Dorsett. Goodley's 2013 season was insanity sauce statistically. And Goodley has 30+ lbs. on Dorsett while retaining the speed. |

There is a monumental difference between 4.45 and 4.25 speed and there's similarly a huge difference between a guy that runs a 6.70 3-cone and a 7.20 3-cone. I'm not saying I don't like Goodley, because I think he does some things well. He is just not anywhere near the athlete that Dorsett is, and it isn't even close. To compare them that way is incredibly wrong. Goodley is a far stiffer vertical athlete and there are several other reasons that make Goodley a 7th round rated receiver versus Dorsett being a 1st to very early 2nd rated receiver.

Only speed WR I'd take over him would be Tyler Lockett because I think you can get him in round 2 and he's a better route runner.
