Peters’ case was more difficult than most, and not just because teams had more to sift through — a failed drug test, three separate suspensions, a sideline tantrum and finally being kicked off the team. Adding to the complexity was that Peters played for two different coaching staffs.

“I’m pretty good at reading guys,” Dorsey said. “And I didn’t see the maliciousness that I heard about” with Peters. In fact, where others saw danger, Dorsey saw value.

Still, Dorsey wanted everyone in the building to be on board with the pick, so he brought Peters to Kansas City for what was essentially an all-day interview. Dorsey took the lead that day but made sure to put Peters in contact with about a dozen people in the building — coaches and support staff, mostly.

The consensus analysis of Peters was “talented, but ...” Dorsey thought those things were being written and said mostly by people who didn’t know or didn’t understand him.

---
In hindsight, it appears Dorsey was infatuated with his talent and overlooked all of the warning signs.

This isn’t on the Chiefs like some say, it’s on MP22, Dorsey and Ballard

There's only so much investigating that a team can do regarding a player's character.

The signs were there but Dorsey chose to draft him anyway.

And ya know what? He was fine while Dorse was here. Seems to me Clark got his panties in a bunch and drove away a real football guy and player over personality issues with ownership. Shut the **** up and pay the bill Clark. No one cares what you think.

Without looking at that draft, outside of Landon Collins, I’m still fine with the pick. They nailed the on-field evaluation. They missed off-field.

And Ballard was the guy that flew to Oakland and spent time there. He gave the thumbs up.

He spent one day in Oakland. One day.

The way they explained it on 810 was that he was the one that did it though and gave the go ahead. So that’s why I’ve brought him up.
