Featured First-Round Prospect - Glenn Dorsey, DT LSU

For a guy his size, Glenn Dorsey is extremely explosive, and gets off the line as quickly as any defensive tackle in the country. He's a disruptive force in the middle, who consistently collapses the pocket. He has the speed to shoot the gaps, and the strength to fight through double teams, and would be effective in either a one or two-gap system.

He wasn't blessed with the longest wingspan, and he sometimes has a problem keeping defenders from getting inside on him because of it. He does, however, do a good job of getting off those blocks to make plays in both the run and pass game. He has good lateral mobility and the speed to chase down ballcarriers.

Dorsey is freakishly athletic for a 300-pound man, and should be one of, if not the top selection in the 2008 NFL Draft.
