You're basically saying "the Patriots found a QB in round 6 so we can too". Or Richard Sherman was a late round pick so who cares if we lose Sean Smith.
All I'm saying is its easy to look at the Seahawks and say "see what works" but it's a hell of a lot harder to execute it. It's not like they knew what Sherman was when they picked him. They got lucky. Hell, it takes a degree of luck to get it right in the first round.
The Chiefs are going to lose some great players to age. They are also likely to lose some great players to salary cap. That is a window of opportunity that is closing.
The idea that it's no big deal because they have a bunch of comp picks is ****ing ridiculous. It will take a level of success at talent evaluation that Dorsey has not proven he has yet and even if he does have it, it will take a **** ton of luck too.
Is the team better with DJ on the field? Berry? Are these guys easily replaced? They won some games with Berry out with cancer... would they have been a better team with a healthy Berry on the field?
The suspension of reality in an effort to not say anything negative has become ridiculous. Do you guys even think about the shit you are typing? You clearly don't read what I'm typing.

The Chiefs went 9-7 without DJ and DeVito. Berry wasn't available for several games in 2014, yet the secondary was one of the best in the NFL.
The main reason they only won 9 games was lack of depth at running back, OL and little to no talent at WR.
And still won 9 games.
You're not thinking about this clearly. Dorsey has stacked the talent on this roster and will continue to do so. He's not a n00b, nor is he a Peter Principled jackass nor has he overstayed his welcome by 11 years.
He's a former NFL player and a scout at heart. He's found starters and contributors in weak drafts, the waiver wire and as undrafted free agents. He drafts guys that fit the systems and have all the tangibles and intangibles that the coaching staff needs. He doesn't just draft a guy because he plays a position (Eric Downing, Ryan Sims, Eddie Freeman, Junior Siavii, etc.).
To say it's "luck" is naive.
