I'll concede that Dorsey approached the draft a little too 'scout heavy' at times. He got a little too drooly with guys who could turn into stars if 20 different things broke right and maybe looked past some basic immediate team-building considerations. But g'damn did he have an eye for those gems and there's an argument to be made that it made the rest of the quibbles worth it.

I still wouldn't have fired him. He deserved the opportunity to see it through with this team and I see no reason to believe he couldn't have done a great job going forward.
Middlekauf talked about him quite a bit recently on his podcasts. Apparently he had an ego problem and didn't get along with many people in KC.

Seemed pretty grain of salt for me though so who knows.
