49ers signed Glenn Dorsey | Page 6

Well, I am 49ers fan in kansas city, mo. I know he was being used wrong, but I never saw him look very good. I do hope that it just takes a move back to his more natural position and some good coaching. As long as we got him super cheap then I'm always ok with taking a chance on potential.

Talent wise, the D line just got better and we didn't even draft yet.

Pat and Bow better get used to taking on guards.

pretty sure Dorsey can do whatever Sopoaga can do
and he's a lot younger

LOL. I think they may still draft an NT to develop as a future starter. But Dorsey does have the strength and ability to handle multiple blockers, not all too excited about him but this could be another reclamation project on a budget.

I love the pick. If there's a coaching staff that can get the most out of his talent, it's this one.

I see him as the heir apparent at NT, with the ability to play end if need be.

I think he's already an upgrade over Sopoaga.

Both younger but both sub-300 pound guys. These two, at best, are one-gap NT's. I still expect us to get a more prototypical NT high in the draft and would expect Dorsey to spell Justin in run downs at RDE. Veteran insurance with potential for a decent upside with Tomsula.

In your opinion do you think he's a NT or DE?

Put some more weight on him and start him at NT.

I wonder if he'll be more expensive than Soap

Probably soap usually runs between $5 and $8 dollars. Shhhh listen to the crowd laughing

So are we converting him to NT, or moving Ray Mac back to NT?

Betting on him being the new RJF. Capable of playing back up at all three spots, only this time we actually use our backup to allow guys a breather or two during the game.
