People like him forget that Dorsey's draft philosophy isn't just "BPA". In Dorsey's own words -- "BPA who is the best fit for the Kansas City Chiefs" -- and I've heard him say that more than once. That means that they will lean a bit towards need.
Notice that Teicher doesn't specify any better players on the board in any round when the Chiefs made their picks.
