Maybe, but I don't think there's any way the Chiefs can achieve the same perceived success they had this year, year after year. Would people be as thrilled about this draft if it looked like this:

1) Brandon Alberts
2) Brandon Flowers
3) Jamaal Charles
4) Will Franklin
5) Brandon Carr
6) Barry Richardson
7) Brian Johnston

I'd imagine that there would be a lot of people who would consider it a solid (maybe great) draft, but it wouldn't encounter near-universal acclaim like the Chiefs actual draft did. And most of those picks are taken at the top of their respective rounds.

You can't get Dorsey's every year for two pretty obvious reasons: (1) Hopefully the Chiefs won't be drafting in the top 5 every year, and (2) you can't count on the teams ahead of you letting a guy like that slip every year.
