Teams draft for needs, but those needs often span 2-3 seasons (the current and the two subsequent). Many collegiate players simply aren't 100% ready for the NFL out of the gate, and I'd consider defensive line, offensive line, and quarterback the three most prominent. So, for Dorsey to consider D-line in 1 with an eye on the future, I definitely understand it.
In fact, I don't mind Butler at 28 and fully expect it. With expiring contracts for D-lineman in each of the next 3 years, its reasonable that Dorsey will find a replacement that can provide depth to the rotation while honing his skills and functional play strength.
If a CB is there with great value at the top of his board Dorsey will take him, but I highly doubt he's going to reach on guys like Artie Burns, who is a borderline 2nd round pick, and such that several people keep linking to the Chiefs as a possible 1st rounder.
