It was a tough year for Dorsey, but the development of DT takes two to three years. I still like Dorsey and give him time to prove himself.
Other than Monroe or Oher, both look like solid all-around LT, then I guess the Chiefs go Aaron Curry or possibly Rey Maualuga. I like Curry, he has a ton of potential, and I would put him in front of Rey. But I do not know how you feel on those two, but it would probably be that, if they cannot trade down and take one of them (I know that no team would be crazy enough to trade that high).
I think that Orakpo and Michael Johnson have the potential to be great in the NFL, but maybe not worthy of the third spot.
Stafford...I don't know. I'm still on the fence if the Chiefs should take a QB. I like Thigpen, knowing that he may not be the franchise QB, but he can handle the position at least for one season, which I think he deserves.

Stafford doesn't drop to Seattle, and the Lions don't pass on Stafford because Culpeper has a two-year deal. If the Lions pass (for whatever reason) the Rams will scoop him up as Bulger's replacement.
No offense, but your whole top-10 is off.
You have:
1. Detroit: Michael Oher, OT, Ole Miss
2. St. Louis: Andre Smith, OT, Alabama
3. Kansas City: Eugene Monroe, OT, Virginia
4. Seattle: Matt Stafford, QB, Georgia
5. Cleveland: Aaron Curry, OLB, Wake Forest
6. Cincinnati: Jason Smith, OT, Baylor
7. Oakland: Rey Maualuga, ILB, USC
8. Jacksonville: Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech
9. Green Bay: Michael Johnson, DE, Georgia Tech
10. San Francisco: B.J. Rahji, DT, Boston College
It will go:
1. Detroit: Matt Stafford, QB, Georgia
2. St. Louis: Michael Oher, OT, Ole Miss
3. Kansas City: Andre Smith, OT, Alabama
4. Seattle: Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech
5. Cleveland: Malcolm Jenkins, CB, Ohio State
6. Cincinnati: Rey Maualuga, ILB, USC
7. Oakland: Brian Orakpo, DE, Texas
8. Jacksonville: Eugene Monroe, OT, Virginia
9. Green Bay: Aaron Curry, OLB, Wake Forest
10. San Francisco: Michael Johnson, DE, Georgia Tech
Detroit will get its QB of the future. St. Louis and KC will fix their OLs. Seattle will get a badly needed WR and wait until next year to draft a QBOTF. Cleveland badly needs CB and Jenkins is the best on the board (and no way he drops to 23 - GB will pick him if Cleveland doesn't). Cinci will both pick the best defensive player on the board. Oakland will beef up its terrible pass rush. Jacksonville will begin rebuilding its awful OL. Green Bay will get Curry as a gift. And San Fran already whiffed on a DT last year (Balmer) and will instead get a legitimate pass rusher opposite Smith.
You have Mack way too high and Laurinaitis way too low as well. No one's drafting a C in the top-15.
EDIT: And if Bradford comes out, put him in pen for the Jets.

Here is my topic over at Detroit

They concur with me with the LT pick being the number one overall. The beauty of the draft is that no one knows exactly how it will go. It's like March Madness!
The Lions would pick LT first if (1) they were just another bad team; (2) they had anyone to play QB next year; (3) they didn't spend a 1st rounder on LT last year; and (4) they didn't need to signal a change in direction of the franchise.
The Lions are the worst team in history and have no one to start at QB next year worth anything. To keep the fanbase, they are going to pick a QB as the new face of the franchise.
Whether this is right or wrong, it's what they'll do.
