Dorsey has been an aces personnel man. He must be truly miserable to work with, however.
His drafts were all money. Literally 100% of the players he drafted in the 1st round were Pro Bowlers, and he drafted 4 HOF players. And it might have been five had Kareem Hunt not been a massive tool.
His drafts were consistently very good to flat-out-great. He couldn't navigate free agency very efficiently, however, and couldn't manage the cap very well.
His job was different from Veach's, however. Dorsey took over a 2-14 team with Alex Smith at QB. He could afford to be patient, keep grinding tape and adding the best players he could find no matter what position they played.
Veach took over at the start of the Mahomes era, and his job has been to keep the team at Super Bowl caliber year in and year out, which sometimes means hyperaggression and narrow free agency targets. He was able to rebuild an entire 3-4 defense into a 4-3 defense in one offseason. He was able to completely rebuild the offensive line in a single offseason. He was able to completely rebuild the secondary in one offseason. He has been able to consistently plug holes at offensive skill positions. He's been able to max out the cap and still keep it healthy year after year.
The Chris Jones contract standoff has honestly been the nadir of his GM career so far, but I've no doubt he'll find a way to spin Jones into multiple draft picks and do something insane like rebuild the DL in a single offseason.
