I rarely, if ever, celebrate other teams's personnel mishaps. The draft is a crapshoot and 50% of first rounders bust.
That said, after the job that Elway's done since arriving in Denver as GM, he's certainly allowed to have a few mulligans.

It only appears to be a "knee jerk move" outside One Arrowhead Drive. For all we know, they could have been contemplating this move since early August.

Reid didn't exactly sound like they were ready to welcome him back with open arms if he clears waivers but maybe that's part of a ruse.
Regardless, Dorsey has hit on multiple third rounders since he was hired in 2013. Travis Kelce is a Pro Bowler and Top 5 at his position, Knile Davis has added value as a running back and kick returner and it appears that Gaines and Conley will be contributors for years to come.
If Dorsey realized that this 3rd rounder wasn't going to stick, I applaud him for ripping off the bandaid and releasing him immediately.
