Tremendous Upside: Glenn Dorsey
Over the next few days, were are going to look at the top picks that the Jets could be faced with picking on Saturday. In this edition: DT Glenn Dorsey. This is meant to be just a quick hit, to get you going in the comments.
Name: Glenn Dorsey
Position: 4-3 DT
Metrics: 6-1, 297 lbs
Positives: Strong, highly active player with non-stop motor. Quick burst and ability to to close. Ability to split defenders get into backfield. Strong at Point of Attack and well versed against the run. Long arms and good leverage.
Negatives: Average size and bulk. Has dealt with injuries and durability could be a concern. Not a good fit in a 3-4. Isn’t a standout pass rusher.
How He Fits Jets: Unless the Jets switch to a 4-3 scheme, which they just had a ‘firesale’ to get rid of two players who fit that scheme, only, this move makes no sense.

Scout talk from NFL Draft Countdown:
1. GLENN DORSEY, Louisiana State (6-1½, 297, 5.13, 1) – The most celebrated player at LSU since Billy Cannon, Dorsey won the Nagurski, Lombardi, Outland and Lott awards. “He’s one of those interior linemen that has the ability to make everyone on the defense better because of his energy and ability,” Baalke said. “I think Dorsey has rare explosion, hand use, strength and balance in his lower body. He can be successful however you want to play him.” Started 30 of 51 games, finishing with 13 sacks and 179 tackles. “I think he will be dominant,” Tennessee national scout C.O. Brocato said. “Remember Anthony McFarland? He’s way better. It would be close with Curley Culp. He’s short but he plays with such great leverage and great strength that it doesn’t bother him. Everybody’s talking about his knees and everything. All I know is one thing: The guy can play.” Courageously played with a stress fracture in his tibia in ’06 and a bad knee in ’07. Gruden and others compared him to Warren Sapp. “At times, he’s explosive like that (Sapp), but other times you don’t know he’s on the field,” one scout said. “Injuries. Lack of production. Didn’t even show up in shape for his workout. Shorter guy. Tommie Harris was quicker; this guy is more powerful.” Scored 21 on the Wonderlic.
