Players drafted in the top 5 are thought to be NFL ready, or more so than those taken later. Getting used to the NFL game should not be an issue after X amount of time. That certainly wouldn't warrant taking an entire season just to get used to the feel of the game, especially out of position. The Niners made the same mistake with Alex Smith - they took a spread option QB number one overall, and tried to make him a drop back passer. With the possible exception of the year he had with Norv Turner, that experiment failed miserably. If you are going to take a QB whose strength is running a spread attack with the top pick, then your offense had best be formatted to run a spread attack. The sae with Dorsey - if you are going to take a quick, powerful gap attacking defensive tackle that high, you'd be best served playing him in that same role in the pros, and let him get used to playing where he excels while getting used to the NFL.

Again, nothing personal on you. I just get annoyed when people start talkin up Dorsey as a bust when he wasn't used correctly.

I never said he was a bust! I agree wholeheartedly with playing to a player's strengths. This is why I couldn't understand why we didn't make any changes with our defensive scheme like we did with our offensive scheme.
