Sounds like rumour-mongering to me and an attempt to add colour to the #2 pick by reporting controversy fleshed out by trade machinations.

If we get Dorsey it gives us a great rotation inside and the option of moving Carriker outside on certain downs. Not sure that's best for Carriker and I'm nervous about Dorsey's injury background.

If we get Long it seems to me that we're getting another Grant Wistrom. Great effort, great hustle, a really solid team player but not a guy who is going to post double-digit sack seasons too often.

So either player will give you good value for that pick in my opinion, although there are risks with both. The '...talent evaluator...' referred to as saying the "...building is doomed.." strikes me as journalistic device if for no other reason than I don't see any talent evaluator judting a draft prospect by a who a potential team drafted in the past. To be blunt, the Rams drafting Kennedy, Lewis and Pickett doesn't make Dorsey a bad pick.

I don't see any value in us trading down past #4 or #5 unless we pick up a ridiculous amount of 2nd and 3rd round picks for doing so, so I think the trade stories are a little thin on credibility too.

We need a defensive end.

And we should pick accordingly unless we think we can use the leverage of the #2 pick to squeeze draft choices out of a team who covet McFadden or Ryan.

So for my money its Long or Gholston. Dorsey scares me a little.
