I will take Dorsey as a worse pick than Bosworth.

Here is a quote from Dorsey during the Pre-Draft med checks:

"There are no health concerns to my knowledge. I haven't missed a game at LSU since I've been there. Everybody gets nicked up. That's the way I look at it. I played every game at LSU my whole four years there so I don???t think it???s a problem at all."

Ok, maybe he did play in every game: As an SEC Fan who will watch MS vs MS St over Michigan vs OSU, I can guarantee he spent 2 plays hurt on the sideline the last 2 seasons for every 1 play he was on the field.

Statistically he's not that great, thats even considering that the School keeps defensive stats and hypes players as needed. There are NFL Dt's who average more sacks per game than Dorsey did in college. Dont say he was doubled b/c he wasnt. He was the 4th best Defensive Lineman at LSU last year.

Think about it, The announcers credited Dorsey with the block in the Natl Champ game and it wasnt him. We now know it wasnt but who was given the credit at the time????

Bottom line, ESPN said he was GOD preseason and wouldnt admit they were wrong.

Bosworth for next argument.

All your awards are simply honors of popularity to those who were given popularity by the media, in truth every award is indirectly given by ESPN.

2007 SEC D player of the year - He was the 9th best D player on his own team, Probably around 75th in the SEC

2 time 1st team All American - Popularity contest

2 time all SEC - Popularity Contest

2007 winner of Outland Trophy, Lombardi Award, Lott Trophy and Bronco Nagurski trophy. - Popularity contest, Popularity contest, Popularity contest, and Popularity contest

Its kind of like John Lynch going to the ProBowl ever year when hes the worst Starting FS in the NFL

Something people dont know: Tackle/Sack stats are awarded to LSU players by LSU, same with TN: For example Jonathan Heffney (senior) is listed as TN's 2nd leading tackler last year when in truth (from someone at every home game) he had 0 (yes count them 0) solo tackles in the last 2 seasons.

Dorsey is a big, fat, flabby armed joke. Noone can honestly say the sat and watched an LSU game last year and were impressed (unless your sexually attracted to him and enjoyed the fact that half the game was spent watching him roll around on the turf moaning.

OK, Im not sure why you have to take my logical and factual points out of the equation and turn this into a personal issue regarding myself and my beliefs; however, I refuse to play along.

Thus far I have stated:

Dorsey, even with inflated stats is not that impressive statistically.

Dorsey, even though he played IN every game he only participates in about 33% of the plays

Dorsey, Is fat and has Flabby Arms.

Awards and recognition (as we all know is true) in sports are simply Popularity Contests.

ESPN said he was good, they were wrong but wouldnt admit it and (as we all know is true) sports fans as a majority only know what ESPN tells them. The Chiefs and other early drafters are obligated financially through the collective bargaining agreement to draft the big names the NCAA marketing has created.

Bosworth: Contrary to popular belief he did lead the Seahawks in Tackles and made the All Rookie team in 1987. Point is that Bosworth actually did play. Dorsey will never make it past the first week of Camp. KC is rebuilding team and cant afford to lose the practice time to watch him roll around on the field and moan.
