I would have said Page or Pollard ubt obviously the organization doesn't agree. There's also two top 5 picks on that D-line, they better develop if the Chiefs want to have hane anyh hope at all.

I would say Brandon Flowers is the Chiefs best D player you could make a case for Page but Pollard was never even close.

As for Tyson Jackson he has all ready shown signs of being a true beast he had a solid camp and made plays in pre season.

As for Glenn Dorsey not so much I'm not ready to throw in the towel but its not looking good.

Still wondering if anyone can tell me if Merriman can play in a 4-3 scheme as a traditional down lineman, or can he only do it as a pass rusher in a 3-4?
Also you should add Julius Peppers to that list, given that he wants to become a 3-4 lineman. I hope the Titans make a big run at him and convince staying 4-3 is smart.

What happened with Dorsey, is he just fat and lazy?

DT is a very hard position to come in as a rookie and have a impact and on top of that he had nothing around him he was pretty much shut down all year from double teams.

This year I think he has had trouble adjusting to the 3-4 nut I'm still not ready to give up on him and I don't think its a lack of effort just that he doesn't fit the system.

If he shows this season that he can't make the adjustment I could very well see him being trade bait this next off season.

Rams could pick up a legit SLB (if Larry Grant doesn't work out) and have a STUD linebacking core (WLB Will Witherspoon || MLB James Laurinatis || SLB ??? )

3-4 is obviously his ideal position because of his range and run stopping ability, not to mention he is more than decent in coverage, but yes he can and does put his hand on the ground.

I don't think he would ever sign with the Titans though, it was a debatably illegal 'revenge' block that caused him to miss a season, plus there's no media coverage in TN.
