I voted for Chris, but I'd be happy with Dorsey--as long as defensive end was addressed sufficiently either later in the draft or through trade. I wouldn't be as excited about Dorsey, but I could see potential for that situation working out very well.

I think it is largely a positional issue. If you're picking in the top ten and you don't get Chris Long, you've still got a shot at Vernon Gholston, right? Then there are Harvey and Merlin, Campbell, Groves, and Jackson all likely to be gone by the first half of the second round. If you want a pass rushing defensive tackle, you've got Dorsey and Ellis, then maybe Sims in the second or Fluellen in the third. Kind of a steep drop-off.
