A lot of the criticism of the Chiefs draft is that they took developmental guys (Mahomes, Kpassagnon) with their high picks, and instead should have taken immediate-impact rookies that would help them get over the 1st/2nd round playoff exit hump and into a Super Bowl. I don't really agree with that, I don't think the Chiefs were a All-Pro defensive player away from a SB. They have a very limited ceiling due to Alex Smith, and unless they somehow put together a 2000 Ravens type D in the offseason, it's not a Super Bowl team at all, it may not even be a playoff team this coming season. So I'm pretty happy with the high-ceiling risks Dorsey took, especially since he is usually is a pretty conservative GM cut from the typical Packers mold. The Mahomes pick is especially interesting because: A) He doesn't fit into Andy Reid's offense at all, at least how its built now for Alex Smith and B) Reid/Dorsey were really excited to get Mahomes, to the point where they had the trade up to #10 planned out with Buffalo a week in advance, and according to Peter King's 49ers war room article, the Chiefs were even ready to trade up to the Jags top 5 pick to get Mahomes. That juxtaposition is exciting.

Alex Smith throws like 4 picks a year and has never sniffed 4k yards, I am 100% okay with more interceptions from future Chiefs QBs

I am not sure how great of a QB developer Reid is, as in, someone who helps a QB get better at individual quarterbacking skills (footwork, ball placement, arm mechanics, etc.), I think what is he better known for is slotting in a variety of flawed QBs into his offense and getting very good results from them.

The best player from my HS ever got a scholarship to be a kicker at UVA but got kicked off the team because he went on a Mormon mission to convert people in Mexico or something
