Let's have a conversation about the job John Dorsey has done thus far.
In his first year, he drafted a bunch of guys that got hurt and showed nothing as rookies, but luckily he didn't need them because a bunch of guys stepped up. 3 of those players have been quite good in year 2...so far anyway.
Fisher Davis Kelce All 3 have the ability to be good starters and that's an above average draft class if we are being objective. Commings Kush Johnson Catapano These guys are all wild cards that can really tip the strength of the overall draft class. I think Kush has the ability to be a solid starter, myself. Who knows about Catapano. Giving up so much for Alex Smith, but I'll reserve judgement until I see how he performs this year. If he plays well, I think the compensation was decent and also strengthens the overall draft class. As it sits right now, I have a hard time grading the 2013 draft class lower than a solid B...with a chance to be a B+ or A- as the year goes on and more info is available. Everybody was thrilled with free agency last year, but the contracts given to these guys were just silly. Especially to Colquitt, Daniel and Fasano. Those contracts are gonna prohibit us from locking up Berry or Houston long term. Watch. We all knew KC would need to overpay to bring free agents in to a bad team in an undesirable market...that's what happened. The deal for Devito was ok (can't count the Achilles against the signing) but overall free agency can't get graded higher than a D+\C-. Maybe lower. I don't think it would be fair to judge the 2014 draft class in any way with us only 2 games in, so I won't even touch on it. Moving on to the 2014 free agent class... Letting 3 starting quality offensive linemen walk is a tough pill to swallow...especially when the OL looks (early on at least) to be a real weakness on the team. Simply unacceptable. It sucks that we didn't target guys like TJ Ward or got things finalized with Sanders cause those would have helped us BIG TIME. And for similar money we gave to guys like Daniel and Fasano. Very frustrating. Replacing Tyson Jackson with Walker seems like an upgrade and signing Vickerson was solid as well. No way should they have paid Dexter what he got in Tennessee, so that one worked out as well. Letting Demps and Lewis walk were also solid decisions. I think I'd be hard pressed to grade this free agency period higher than a C- and if it weren't for signing Vickerson, it would be a D...at best. IMO we missed a huge opportunity to upgrade the team here. Hopefully the reasons they have for why they did this are making sure to retain Houston and Berry long termZ if we don't, I want his head on a pike for losing either guy. Discuss |

Can't pay kickers that much. Hopefully the midget kicker gets his shot together.

After Dorsey goes 5-11 this year, the Asst GM down in Atlanta will be like: "Hey I went to the playoffs once in KC too, and I lost that game too, and I won about as many games my first two years too."
And he'd be right. |

I'd rate him a 6 so far.

Of the 3 you name as potential "good starters" there's only one that I think actually has a chance and that's Kelce.
Fisher is... And Davis is a decent backup. He's not shifty. He often gets taken down at the los, but every now and then when he gets a BIG hole he can spring a run for 10+ yards. He's like Jackie Battle, just a change of pace back. |
