Congratz Dorsey, you suck.

The Chiefs likely could have gotten Gaines in Round 4 (as he was rated a Round 5 guy by many) or traded up to get him if necessary... but the better move would have been drafting Kelvin Benjamin or Jordan Matthews instead of waste-of-sperm Dee Ford in round 1.

Bottom line... they had two picks with which they could have addressed the most glaring need on the team, but did not. That's a major failing.

The Gaines pick was a good one.

Where Dorsey struggles is the blue chip stuff. Big free agents, first round picks. He tries too hard to get cute and exploit tendencies. He mentioned drafting Ford because of his explosiveness, drafting Fisher because he believed long arms were the next ground for linemen, and picking up vance walker because he wanted one gappers who can quickly explode into the pocket.

If he treats the blue chips like he does the scrap guys, which is to focus on talent over forcing into scheme, hopefully he sees more success. Because you're right, he missed on some really good receivers to try to exploit a gimmick.
