I think the best thing John Dorsey did as GM was discovering Terrance Mitchell. That ability to find guys off the street and have them contribute was a very valuable skill.
I think finding Hill in the 5th round was a steal.
Bringing in Travis Kelce in the 3rd, an All Pro caliber tight end, is super impressive.
Kind of crazy to say this, but Eric Fisher turned out to be a pretty good pick considering the other reasonable options that were there in an absolutely garbage draft.
Drafting Pat Mahomes was a stroke of genius as well.
Dorsey's worst move was definitely drafting the corner in the 3rd round that we cut before the season started. That's virtually unheard of in the NFL, an absolutely bizarre move.
The Dwayne Bowe contract was hilariously terrible, maybe one of the worst contracts in Chiefs history.
Maclin as a cap casualty in his last week may turn out to be the worst move, but he was pretty lousy last year.

He also drafted Chris Jones and got a rookie All-Pro special teamer with that extra pick who also has the potential to develop into a quality starter. Jones will probably get a long term deal before his contract is up anyways.

He was suspended for a year at Notre Dame for academic fraud, then sucked ass in preseason for the Chiefs. Rumors were floated that he was a locker room headache as well.
I doubt that anything further is ever revealed. [Reply]

Holy shit you're ****ing retarded.
It was dumb as hell of trade. You lost an extra control of a year on Chris Jones for doing it. Dumb as fuck you stupid homer. [Reply]

It seems like the local media people know the real story but haven't said anything. I figured eventually it would come out. [Reply]

Dorsey was always more concerned with additional picks rather than first round control.
Time and time again, he locked up guys after their 3rd year in Fisher, Kelce and LDT and it's likely that was his plan with Jones.
It'll be interesting to see if that methodology and philosophy continues with a new GM. [Reply]

You're fucking retarded. Jones is a guy Dorsey would've gotten signed going into year 4 with his trajectory. [Reply]
