I dont think Brodie would like that either. Dont like the idea of throwing a 5th rounder with below average footwork into the LT role as a rookie. I dont think Brodie would like that either.

Barry Richardson at left tackle (he is actually a tackle by the way, he is big mean and a good run blocker). Albert at left guard (I know everyone wants to move him to left tackle, but this guy is a beast at gaurd, best run blocker in the draft!). Wade Smith or Rudy Nyswinger at center(not sure, as is still open to competetion). Brian waters at Right gaurd (lets face it, hes getting older and might be on the decline alittle bit. This way albert gets to start right where he left of at college) and finally have Damien MacIntosh at Right tackle. (hes has good skills as a tackle and should be able to slide over with ease). Thats my idea hey all,

Not to mention any post draft cuts by other teams that could be on the horizon.

It was written by B. Gretz, so I don't know how accurate it is. Here is what was said and the link to the article: "The Chiefs phone rang several times with teams trying to move up to the fifth spot. The NFL Network incorrectly reported that New Orleans offered its first and second-round choices this year and a first-round choice next year. Hardly to believe the league’s own network can make a mistake as big as this one. If that offer had been made, the Chiefs would have jumped. Instead, the Saints offered a swap of first round picks (moving down from five to 10) and then a seventh-round choice, the 218th pick of the draft. That hardly tempted the Chiefs and they went ahead and grabbed Dorsey. And without even playing a game, he’s had an impact on the team’s defense. Tamba Hali is going to move from left end to right end, to replace Jared Allen. Alfonso Boone will move outside form tackle to left end. Dorsey moves into the tackle spot with Tank Tyler and Ron Edwards." http://www.kcchiefs.com/news/2008/04/26/now_this_was_big/ xxxlp,

Here's a quote from Herm on him - “The last guy, Michael Merritt, is a guy who played at Central Florida who we brought in here also. He’s a tight end who’s a phenomenal blocker. When you watch this guy block he is unbelievable." Either that or Cottam is Gonzo's eventual replacement and Merritt is Dunn's. Tripp - I'm not sure where it came from, but I thought Richardson was a G too. I swear that's what it said on ESPN when they first got him. On the 3-4: I don't think I like that idea. I've heard that its a HUGE system change. Very hard to convert 4-3 guys to it. For example, DJ is really starting to come into his own. Would you want to screw up all that development by making such a massive change to the scheme? I could be totally wrong on that. Please correct me if so.

As well as a humungous TE to boot. And Tony G can block himself. Right now I'm optimistic, but we have 4 starters on our O-line. We need a center more than anything. Not sure if Niswanger or Smith can handle it, but if they can, then we don't need to pay Olivea alot to be a RT for us. especially when we'd hafta pay D-mac to effectively be a backup.

Boone is a big guy.. He's best suited to be in the middle, along with Dorsey. Tank Tyler might not even have a chance to start, based on last years performances, Turk McBride had a better year than him, and showed up more late in games, as well as late in the season. Turk also is a hybrid DE/DT, so he's the natural first choice to take over a DE position. Ron Edwards is also small, so will likely be targeted there, since he won't be playing much DT now.

Dorsey is supposed to be the second coming of Warren Sapp. Sapps production in his first season was ok for a first year guy. If Dorsey doesn't blow the doors off in his first year, I hope we don't all come down on him because of expectations. 16G 27 tak, 5 PDs, 3 Sck, 1FF. I hope to god he outperforms that, but if not, he could still be what he should be. One thing we should keep in mind.
