The Chiefs simply did it correctly and, of course, dropped in the best possible engine to make it go.

I won't even concede "Outside of Mahomes"
The Chiefs moved up from 27, man. So anybody before 27 could've moved up. And the teams after 27 had more than enough draft capital to beat our offer. Some of them even had picks higher in the round.
Literally every single team in the NFL had an equal/better shot at Patrick Mahomes as the Chiefs. And they simply didn't get it done.
I'll never join the "**** Dorsey, I'm glad he's gone" crowd because he's the dude that put that trade with Buffalo together. He's the dude that knew right where he needed to be and made sure he went into that draft with the framework to get there already in place.
He did a spectacular job getting us into that position when nobody else did. And he transformed the franchise. It may have been Veach that sold the rest of the team on getting Mahomes but it was Dorsey that did the spade work to make sure they could have him. That deserves a TON of praise.
