In Dorsing the OL
-
I think in one of the Corbett discussions someone made a comment that Dorsey isn’t so great at drafting/signing OLmen and developing them. I did research, and some interesting findings l found.
Dorsey was KC’s GM from 2013 to 2016. I don’t think many would disagree that he played a significant role in making them what they are today. In that time l counted 6 OLmen he drafted.
2013 Rd 1: Eric Fisher, OT. Had a rough start in his rookie year, but has turned into a building block on the OL for them since then. In 2016 signed an extension and still with the team.
2013 Rd 6: Eric Kush, C. Originally signed as a Center and didn’t get much action with KC and was waived in 2015. Bounced around to a few teams, and eventually landed with us, obviously.
2014 Rd 6: Zach Fulton, G. He won a starting spot in 2016 with them and was later signed by the Texans in 2018 and started for them as well.
2014 Rd 6: Laurent Duverney-Tardiff, OL: A rare Canadian draft pick, took a bit to develop. In 2015 started a game, started 14 in 2016, signed an extension in 2017 and still starting for KC.
2015 Rd 2: Mitch Morse, G: Did ok for the Chiefs from what l read, and then in 2017 signed a nice sized contract with the Bills.
2016 Rd 4: Parker Ehinger, G: Started as a rookie, but seems to have had an injury plagued and/or ineffective career. Has bounced to a couple teams since then, most recently the Cards.
All 6 are still in the league, 5 of them starting.
And KC’s current starting OL consists of Fisher, Duverney-Tardiff, Austin Reiter, Andrew Wylie and Mitchell Schwartz. So basically 2 guys Dorsey drafted, and 1 former Browns players Dorsey signed for KC, and 2 other former Browns players Dorsey cut so that KC could later sign them. I had forgotten Wylie, but he did have a cup of coffee with us. If you add Erving in there as the top T backup, that’s another former Brown Dorsey traded to KC.
So basically, Dorsey has played a ginormous role in building the KC Oline, even after they were no longer paying him to do so.

Interesting that most of the Chiefs OL are former Browns. Reiter, The Schwartz, Erving...and Wylie...who I do not recall being with the Browns. The Browns do not show up on his pfr profile......so apparently he never played a down with us. So, that cup of coffee must have been preseason instant brand.
