I'm pretty sure Florio is usually accused of being pro Pats, though he's received accusations on both sides. I think regarding the Pats, he covers them fairly, as almost anything. I'd say Florio might be unfair to, say, PastaBelly, and too good sometimes to people he clearly likes, like people at the booooooooring NFL network that people put on when they want to go to sleep, Peter King, Schefter, etc. And EricTheClown, you know what, you don't even have to put into quotations Best Team In NFL History. Quite simply, the best teams don't always win. There is no doubt in my mind whatsoever that the '07 Pats team was the best team the NFL has ever had, except for maybe my '85 Bears haha. The Giants were barely in the top 5 of '07, but like said in another comment, Kudos to them; they won the Super Bowl, and deserved it. They showed why the D-line is vital. As for Dorsey, I have put him at the top for defenders the whole time, never changing. He should definitely be taken by Miami, unless they want to move down. Of course, who the #1 overall player is and who should be taken first is Daren McFadden. Quite simply, unless you have a stud running back, you should not pass up on a guy like McFadden -- ever.

If KC's pick pans out they'll have a dominant d-line for the first time in a very, very long time. Jake Long goes to St. Louis, Matt Ryan in Atlanta, which leaves KC a choice of Dorsey or Ellis.

He's exactly the kind of tough, hard-nosed anchor at DT that the Falcons have needed for a long, long time. He's also a leader, which certainly can't hurt if Dimitroff and Smith want to keep "changing the culture." If Dorsey’s there at 3, the Falcons will take him.

Decause the Pats got to bully bad teams in their division, they did what all bullies do. fold up when they get punched in the mouth. oh, i think i AM anti- pats I dont know if he is anit-Cheatriots or not. but it is more valid than ever that “the best team in the history of the nfl” lost because another team whipped their ass in the trenches.

Now if KC loses out on Jake Long, they may have Dorsey as a fallback, which would be an awesome option to have.

Word is, Rams see him as a Tommie Harris type who can make an immediate impact - which is important for the current Linehan regime as this is likely his last gasp to hold his job, hence the need for an immediate impact guy, not someone to be developed over time (and also pretty much assures the Rams would not trade out of #2 spot). Rams greatest deficiency last year (other than offensive line decimated by injuries) was inability to pressure the QB. Dorsey, like Tommie Harris, has the ability to get pressure from up the middle, which some in the know will say is more disruptive than an edge rusher as the pressure is coming right in the QB's face. Rams were hoping he was healthy, he appears to be so, therefore I am betting on Dorsey being a Ram come draft day. Solid workout probably means he will be drafted by the Rams in the #2 spot.

Not that I care being a Browns fan, I dislike New England as much as anyone else not in the AFC East, but it seems like any story about Glenn Dorsey or Sedrick Ellis involves a snippet about how teams are looking to beef up their D-Lines after the Giants' line manhandled the Patriots' line in the Super Bowl. I get that making a note about teams wanting to beef up their trenches, but a Patriot shot each time is making me wonder. But don't take this as a complaint, I enjoy hearing about how the Patriots got dominated as much as the next guy. Just an observation. Is Florio anti-Pats?

I think what it really proved is that the slow/hobbled ankles of QBs can make a big impact on how your team react to a strong pass rush. “With the NFL fully cognizant of the value of a strong defensive line, thanks to the Giants manhandling of the Patriots’ blockers in the playoffs”
