Casey Hampton, the “prototype” 3-4 NT, is 6-1, 325. Glenn Dorsey is 6-1, 297. First of all, we IS NOT GOING TO BE TRADED! Give the guy a break and a pro offseason to get himself into NFL D lineman condition. I suppose he could either shed some fat and add a ton of muscle to make him more of a NT, or he could shed some fat and add some muscle to make him a better fit as a 3-4 DE. I’m sure Pioli, Haley, and whoever the hell the DC is are banging their heads against the wall to figure out how this guy fits best. Last year he got mauled lining straight up on the guard. The same would happen this year getting doubled at NT if he stays at his current weight and strength. I’m thinking the hybrid 4-3, 3-4, 46 a la Rex Ryan is the wave of the future, and playmakers like Dorsey can be utilized in a variety of looks without pigeonholing them at a particular position. That makes them hard to scheme against and block. I’m more concerned about what to do with Hali. He’s weak against the run and isn’t fast enough to play LB in the 3-4, so I guess he could be a situational pass rusher. I like McBride more as a 3-4 DE. Coming out, he was more of a DE-DT tweener. He can get to the passer, but I think he has the ability to be a solid DE in the new scheme if he gets into good shape this offseason after his untimely injury last year.

In the spirit of pure conjecture (and because there is nothing else to discuss right now) how do you see the front 3 being put together from a personnel standpoint? Tyler at NT and Hali and Dorsey at DE? McBride? Hey, DL depth is a great thing, would’ve liked to see Olshansky. Just thinking. Anyone…?

happy I think Dorsey is going to be an awesome tackle. I’m just proceeding under the assumption that we are moving to a 3-4…all DE’s and NG’s. Raji would be a better fit if we are truely making the switch.

On that note. I think Tank Tyler might make a great NT. He could bulk up to about 330 easy. His bench was 42 in the draft. For those in the know. What exactly makes a Raji a better shot at NT than a Tank?

I don’t have a probelm trading anyone on our roster, if it makes sense. We need picks, we have done nothing in FA. I am extremely disappointed in this offseason

I hear your scenario and would be all for it except if it were straight up. Am I missing some part of the equation or does that just mean you think Raji would be a better direction than Dorsey?

I doubt anyone would give up a high first round pick, let alone multiple picks, for Dorsey. I think its hard to value him since he was a rookie last year. It wasn’t a great year for him and I don’t think we’ll get what we paid for him (5th overall pick) for his potential alone. He’s gonna have to prove something before he has any value again. Besides, Haley already commented that Dorsey will “fit in somewhere”.

Dr. Paine and Chiefs447, I agree. good comments.

As a rabid chiefs fan, it just did not sit right with me. I have to remember that the Chiefs are not the most respected franchise right now!

Hey, I got a question for you guys.

This has been rolling around in my head and I think I may have an answer.

From what I’ve heard, we are still like 14 million under the CAP MINIMUM after the Cassel/Vrable deal

From what I see, we stopped going after the big boys in the FA and are focusing on million/sub-million a year guys.

Now, this is the question…how do we get over the minimum hump without signing anyone

From what I understand, our picks in the draft aren’t going to do it.

Now here is my wild arse answer………..

We are keeping under the league minimum so that we can absorb the cap hit when we TRADE DORSEY for a high 1st rounder and maybe a 2nd/3rd.

I mean think about it. What if we didn’t sign anyone else. We Traded Dorsey for a high draft pick giving us B.J. Raji and a 2nd/3rd this year or next…or even straight up.

Is this totally insane? I need some feedback from you guys.
