But anyway I think King Carl does want to win and does what he thinks is best. He's just a nincompoop when it comes to evaluating talent.

He's a nincompoop because he gives the coaching staff more voice in the early rounds than he does the scouting staff.
The coaching staff listens to biased college coaches, and put entirely too much stock in the workout numbers.
The guys who were hired to evaluate the players in the games that they actually played in aren't given a voice until the later rounds, which is where Carl and the Chiefs have done a consistently good job finding hidden gems.
Carl should just have a profile of the kinds of players the coach wants, and send the scouts out to find the best players that fit that profile.
