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.
Dunta Robinson, Anthony Fasano, Vance Walker, Jeremy Maclin, Joe Mays, Dwayne Bowe, re-signing Jaye Howard only to cut him a year later, trading for and signing Ben Grubbs to a ridiculous contract, the disastrous and unnecessary $4 million dollar Dead Cap Space deal to Hali, only to turn around and sign him to a 3 year, $21 million dollar deal, flubbing the Emmanuel Sanders deal, Paul Fanaika and spending a 3rd on KeiVarie Russell, only to cut him because he sucked ass.

Dwayne Bowe, Missing on a WR in 14', never address the guard position in 14'. Those were the reasons why this team just missed making the playoffs in 14'. [Reply]

What am I forgetting, folks?
You're forgetting the circumstances that led to Bowe's contract. It was a horrible draft for WRs and KC had the #1 pick. It was a perfect storm for Bowe and shit storm for the Chiefs.
Hopkins was drafted at like #27...and KC didnt have a 2nd round pick.
Here is that draft..find which WR KC should have taken with the #1 overall pick?..or in the top of the 3rd.
Alex Smith trade compensation gave up way too much for a player who was going to get cut more than likely
Alex Smith contract extension did the deal way to soon
These two mistakes above made not drafting Derek Carr even worse. [Reply]
Worst is getting shit canned a month before TC. Clark must have massively been just fed the hell up with something Dorsey had done or been doing to fire him on his day off.
How many times has the HC gotten an extension in the same hour the GM got canned. My guess is never before. [Reply]
