John Huarte who you listed as a Chief 1970-1971 was actually also member of Kaycee’s 1969 World Championship team (John just wasn’t included on the KC active roster, but he was under contract that year, appeared on team picture(s), etc.)

As that stint in roster limbo was to be highlight John’s otherwise pedestrian career, thought said was worth mentioning. Oh…he also got himself a nice big ‘rock’ for one of his fingers.

He is NOT a bust, hes going to be a force with Jackson

I expect great things from Dorsey, last year, he wasnt in shape for it, because of coming from college and having that knee injury, but he was a force in the first quarter and a half. With good conditioning, I think he has a better year, and continues to be a force.

I wouldve been fine had they moved him for a 1/3 on draft day, but Im also fine keeping him, hes a great player, I hope he shows it.

I’d say Atlanta wanted Jerry because he would be cheaper than Dorsey. Also, they would get to keep their 3rd round pick as well. This is assuming the 1st and 3rd rumor held any water. I’m not on the “Dorsey is a bust” band wagon, but I do worry about how well he fits in this new defense, and I think the coaches do too. This rumor didn’t come from nowhere. The same people who reported it also reported the Chiefs would take Jackson the night before the draft and they nailed that one.

Also, to back up what Double A pointed out, Julius Peppers was considered the best defensive player in 2002. He was on the same DL as Sims at North Carolina and people were trying to figure out which one made the other look better. Anyone with sense who watched them play could see it was Peppers elevating Sims and not the other way around, but we all know how great Carl was at drafting DTs…..

Awww…who nose?

For some reason, the Chiefs got hot on Ryan Sims. Vikings were rumored to be interested in Sims at the time, but that was likely just a rumor.

Most everybody had Haynesworth and Henderson rated higher. It was disappointing to see the Chiefs take Sims.

“”Listen, I was the fifth pick and we only one two games, so I guess I’m going to be in the bull’s eye… .”

Oh well. I am sure the illiterate journalists that work for KC’s local rag will never notice.

If we end up going totally 3-4 at some point, I believe Dorsey’s value will fall because he won’t be as productive and other teams will know he’ll be “moved” somehow. This means they’ll sit for a reduced demand from KC knowing this.

I believe Dorsey is a good player & will be a good player in a scheme suited to his strengths…perhaps even a star. I just think the percentages are lower on that happening with KC moving to the 3-4. A top 5 draft pick should be a solid starter, not a role player.

every pundit, scout, and fan said that Ryan sims was the best defensive player in his draft too. Remember, we beat out the Vikings for his services.

As for Dorsey’s ‘shin’ injury that is still lingering from college, it is likely a hairline stress fracture of his right Tibia that was discovered at the combine. If it has been 2yrs and the thing is still causing him trouble, then he might need to go ahead and have microfracture surgery and get it over with.

Comparing Dorsey to Sims doesn’t make much sense. Sims started two games his rookie year and played in six before his dislocated elbow. Dorsey started sixteen. Dorsey has more tackles in one year (46) than Sims had his first two (44).

Even if Dorsey doesn’t start a game this year, he’s less of a bust than Sims.

I’m with the group of people who think it’s ridiculous to call Dorsey a bust after his rookie year.

Somehow, I think this is exactly what happened on draft weekend, but we’ll never know for sure.

What will Haley and Pendergast’s influence change Dorsey from his performance in 2008 when he still has the same Dline coach? Glenn’s best shot at creating impact in the NFL is being a 3 tech DT and now he’s being asked to adapt to hybrid schemes?

I don’t know but have a sinking feeling we’re seeing Ryan Sims, part II.

He’s going to HAVE to. That BS isn’t going to fly with Haley. And maybe that’s exactly what he needs. Actually, I’m hoping that’s the case with many of our young players. The “putting in the work” is the reason that I’m holding out hope that we’ll be much better than last year…with a lot of the same players. But hope is just that…hope. It’s about all you CAN have in May, though.
