That first year produced some mixed results.
The Chiefs have the No. 18 pick in the first round, and they're widely expected to target a wide receiver, offensive lineman or cornerback — three areas of need. But given the number of choices they have this year,Cheap Jerseys Wholesale, Dorsey also has some flexibility to move around for the first time.
The rest of the draft has largely been a bust. Nico Johnson is no longer on the roster, Mike Catapano and Sanders Commings have been held back by injuries and illness, and Braden Wilson didn't make it to training camp before he was cast aside.
Even after trading a fifth-round pick to New Orleans to acquire former Pro Bowl offensive guard Ben Grubbs, the Chiefs have 10 selections in next week's draft. That includes a second-round pick for the first time under Dorsey, and four compensatory picks handed out by the league.
Eric Fisher was the first overall selection, but he's struggled to adjust to life as an NFL left tackle. Tight end Travis Kelce and running back Knile Davis, both chosen in the third round, have turned out to be wise moves — in particular, Kelce has shown flashes of becoming the kind of transcendent talent that the Chiefs once had in Tony Gonzalez.
Dorsey said that's a factor, among many others,Cheap NHL Jerseys, when he sets his draft board, a process that is nearing its conclusion with the first round set to begin Thursday night.
With more than 150 players on their draft board, that's no easy task.
The Chiefs' offensive coaches met Thursday to discuss various prospects, and Dorsey met with coach Andy Reid,Jerseys NFL Wholesale, owner Clark Hunter and team president Mark Donovan on Friday. Defensive coaches will meet soon,China Jerseys, and the special teams folks will give their input on Monday.
Last year's draft also produced some highs and lows.
He has a full complement this year. And then some.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The first few years John Dorsey was in charge of the Kansas City Chiefs, he was hampered by having traded picks away to acquire quarterback Alex Smith.
"I think for the organization, you try to keep all your options open," Dorsey said. "The hard part is when you move up, are you making the right move up? Those are the things you sit and think about on a daily basis."
First-round pick Dee Ford, an outside linebacker, struggled to get on the field with Justin Houston and Tamba Hali in front of him. But cornerback Phillip Gaines,China Jerseys, running back De'Anthony Thomas and offensive guard Zach Fulton, a sixth-round pick,NFL Jerseys China, all played crucial snaps as rookies.
"What you want to do is get as much input as you possibly can with regards to how people see specific players," Dorsey said. "You listen to everything and filter through everything."
"Each position has their different degrees of how fast they can get up to speed," Dorsey said. "The demands of each position vary, and it also comes to the person — what their makeup is, how fast they can grasp the system. I think the hardest thing for young guys when they come from college to the pros is how they grasp the playbook."
Asked to summarize that draft, Dorsey replied: "The one, the two threes, have turned out to be pretty good players. And if I had to do it all over again, this is a quarterback-driven league. You need a quarterback. I have no problem giving up a second-round pick for Alex Smith."
"I don't think it changes your approach in how you go about your business on draft day," Dorsey said Friday. "I think the hard thing and most stressful thing is making sure you have the best player. I think you go about your business the same way as the first year."
In other words, predicting where the Chiefs go in this year's draft is difficult.作者:

By Sharmain GraingerIt wasn’t a premonition at all; in fact it was more a feeling of uneasiness that was gradually evolving into a sensation of total unwellness that overcame Nurse Verley Abrams-Rodrigues, one early Wednesday morning of 2002.She does not remember the precise date but the event that would unfold that day will forever be etched in her memory.Qualified as a Nursing Assistant, Verley was attached to the Kumaka District Hospital in Region One and was certainly not one to absent herself from work. However on the morning in question she was certain that heading to work was not physically possible so she decided to report sick.Nurse Verley Abrams-RodriguesAlthough unable to describe how she felt, she was certain that she had never felt that way before and certainly hasn’t since. The feeling was nothing short of eerie, she confided.But reporting sick that day was not a feasible option as she was required to accompany a gravely ill patient via medivac to the Georgetown Public Hospital.“I decided that day I wouldn’t go to work but one of my colleagues came and told me that it was my turn to do a patient escort and I must do so…I was insisting that I wasn’t feeling well and I couldn’t work,” related Verley during an interview with me.The patient, a young man from Assakata also in Region One, had suffered a bite from a poisonous snake. It would take about three days for him to travel to the Kumaka District Hospital by which time he was bleeding from every orifice in his body.However, perhaps it was her obligation to the nursing profession or the fact that a critically sick patient’s life was hanging in the balance, Verley, though against her physical will, decided to take on the mission.She remembers well boarding a twin-engine plane with the patient, who was strapped to a stretcher, along with two pilots. Before long the plane was airborne and they were en-route to the Ogle Airport. It was a while after take-off that the plane from all indication, started to develop mechanical problems, so much so, that both engines ‘shut-down’.Verley recalled being plunged into a state of shock as she observed the two pilots in what appeared to be a bout of confusion desperately trying to ascertain the problem. In their urgent bit to remedy the problem, the pilots began radioing for assistance but this quest proved to be futile. During this time the plane started a swift descent,MLB Jerseys From China, nose first.“I just remember seeing this plane shooting downwards and I started thinking this was the end for me. I didn’t even have the strength to scream…all I started doing was begging God to spare my life to see my parents and son one more time,Cheap NFL Jerseys,” said Verley who recalled how she was overwhelmed with fear.Confident that she and the others aboard the plane were destined to “crash and burn” Verley recalled how she decided to close her eyes as they swiftly approached rice fields,Cheap NBA Jerseys China, which from all indications appeared to be their last vision of earth.And as quickly as the plane started to descend, it was floating just above the rice fields and was soon ascending to the friendly skies.Realising that the plane had not crashed, Verley slowly opened her eyes and was instantly besieged with a mixture of relief and anxiety as she yearned for the plane to touchdown.They would arrive safely at the Ogle Airport where an ambulance was waiting to rush the patient to the public hospital.A few days after the journey, Verley was able to muster the courage to return to Kumaka and the same day decided to make the few miles journey to Waramuri to see her parents and son who was 10 years old at the time.Her arrival there would see her becoming an emotional wreck as she related what occurred on the plane. And as she shared her experience, an expression of shock formed on her mother’s face, but it was one that, for some reason, suggested that she knew what had occurred. And indeed that was the proclamation of her mother – she knew!There was no way that could have been possible as her mother could not have known that she had travelled to the city; they were not in contact.But according to Verley, her mother began relating how she and her father were in their Nut Farm the same day when the plane, which appeared to be developing mechanical problems, passed. It was almost instantaneous that Verley’s mother got the distinct intuition that, not only was her daughter on the plane, but something troubling was afoot.Without delay,NFL Jerseys Outlet, Verley’s mother shared her concern with her husband,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, but it would take three attempts for her to convince him to heed a request to pray for their daughter’s safe
