I for one think this is a really cool idea!  Especially for _Deinocheirus_.

The tyrannosaurs could follow the diggers around and
scavenge the remains.

A lot of people would give you an argument on that (me included). :-) Look at those jaws, teeth, nasals, shoulders.... Tyrannosaurs were built to handle more than just the table leavings of _Deinocheirus_.
