Wasn't that the purpose of drafting Carriker? A player who can be a stalwart at UT for the next decade? And Ryan? Or any pick?

What? So you acknowledge that the potential Dorsey does not help as much as selecting a player of equal value in Chris Long, to the point where we would not have success this year? And I'd assume we'd have success in the ensuing years by actually adressing the position wherein we have a significant need?

Or are you suggesting that a player like Long would "make us good" for a year, then fall flat on his face thereafter?
