I think Worthy helps the offense as well as Hollywood which was critical.

But it won't be bombs away.

I see a huge efficiency lift for the intermediate passing game and even the Nagy horizontal shit will work better.

In fantasy dynasty Worthy will now go high but I think that's because most people don't understand what his value and role will be.

The idiots complaining about his size probably don't like Addison either.

It's too bad he was locker room poison. Dude had some serious talent.

Exactly. For everyone saying he needs to bulk up

I'll say. Dude was smoking DBs half his age just a couple-three years ago. As for whether he was a lockerroom problem, I don't know. I did read part of an article once that said he was pretty vocal about calling guys out if he thought they weren't trying hard enough; dude hated losing apparently.

To be honest, I don't hate that mentality in a football player. If MVS/Hardman/Skyy were more like that, maybe they would've run better routes and caught more balls. Who knows?

Kind of moved off this take a little after they signed Brown, but that was just because I wasn't sure they'd add another small WR.

He's just the Chiefiest of picks.

I really don’t understand why the Bills did this.

Did they want out of the first round THAT bad?

Maybe they weren't ready and needed an extra day to prepare.

The Bills ARE in cap hell though

I guess it should have been obvious when Pat started following Worthy, worked out with him in Texas and Worthy publicly said "in an ideal world I definitely would want to go to the chiefs".

I was OK with him a month ago but I just kept dreading that he would be another Hardman so I preferred Mitchell instead.

Veach took Hardman over DK, Moore over Pickens and now Worthy over Mitchell. I pray we don't regret this one too.

Smaller guys like Antonio Brown, Tyreek, Devonta Smith, Tank Dell etc have all done well to great in this league so hopefully Worthy follows suit.

And he redeemed himself with Rice, and now Worthy will be his next good WR pick.

Chiefs drafted a fellow Texas WR for Pat last year and it worked out great...

It's like bringing up the Reagor and Arcega-Whiteside picks after Roseman got Brown and Smith.

If I am not mistaken, Hardman & Skyy Moore did not have any workouts with Mahomes before they were drafted. We have to hope the Worthy & Mahomes workout provided strong enough evidence that Xavier won’t be “lost” on the field like Skyy & Mecole.

If I remember right, Zay Flowers had a strong Mahomes workout before the Draft and Flowers wanted to end up in Kansas City. Baltimore scooped him up before the Chiefs had a chance to get him. I guess Veach wanted to make sure that scenario didn’t play out again.

Veach tried to trade up for Flowers too

Wow! It's like Snoop Minnis but not shitty!

I remember feeling underwhelmed when we took Clyde over Taylor, Swift and Dobbins. And I felt the same way after we took Skyy over Pickens. I feeI a little similar here I can't lie but I'm gonna dig into his tape a little more and I'm definitely hoping that the kid is a baller for us. I think I'm just scarred from the Hardman and Skyy picks tbh.

I love when people say stuff like this as if it has any impact on what will happen this time.

I liked this pick just like the Rice pick so that means it's good!

As a Texas fan who watched all their plays, I think Worthy is the better more dangerous WR over Mitchell, and is the better fit for KC. Obviously Reid and company agree.

That's not a knock on Mitchell, dude is good and Buffalo should take him with first pick of 2nd round, but he's not quite as explosive or shifty as Worthy, and he doesn't bring the kick return juice that Worthy does either. I think Worthy to KC and Mitchell to Buff are the perfect picks and fits for both teams.

Hardman and Skyy didn't have much on tape.


I've watch a bajillion highlights on Worthy and keep finding ones I haven't seen before. Dude put up nutso numbers for being so young and is ten times the route runner of either Hardman or Skyy.


Posting this again for those that didn't see

I want more upside but it is what it is.


Once Kelce is gone and assuming Hollywood leaves too then they will have the cap $$$ to buy a #1 down the road.

the route running this dude can do is going to keep Mahomes and Reid rock hard.

This is stupid. Imagine this on corn dog!

https://youtube.com/shorts/xX7gTDM59...IaIOHXZ8MPJqT6

Brown was traded for and Smith won a heisman trophy and was a top 10 pick. Those are easy decisions to make and not the same thing.

Yeah, I am assuming almost every NFL team had Nabers, Harrison Jr, and Odunze as the top 3 WRs.

It is after that that proves who can scout.

That's not the point. Nobody is going to care about Skyy, Hardman, and Toney after Worthy has a good rookie season, and this dumb narrative will be dead.

Having read through this whole thread I can say this....you seem just utterly clueless. So many bad takes in one thread, impressive.

LMFAO! Called it! Love the pick!

Xavier Worthy on getting to play with Patrick Mahomes:

"Everybody thought the NFL was never gonna let the Chiefs get to me, but I'm here. I'm excited, man, just to be able to play with Pat. Seeing the success Tyreek Hill had in this offense, I feel like it will be amazing."

I was rooting for Taylor and Pickens before those respective drafts. Hence why I was disappointed when we passed them up. This time I was rooting for Mitchell and I am disappointed again but I do think Worthy has a way better chance of proving my disappointment wrong than Clyde and Skyy did. We'll see. I will be rooting for him.

- 26 TD’s in 3 years
- over 1,000 yards last year
- 23 punt returns last year
- played in 39 games in 3 years

He’s been healthy, productive, and is only 20 years old.

Legion of Plume because they're about to go nuclear.

Dude...the guy you keep asking for is already on the roster. His name is Rashee Rice.

The point is about decisions made when a GM has a tough choice to make. Brown and Smith were easy stuff. Yes Rice and Worthy may be able to lesson the blow of previous picks but what if Worthy doesn't hit? It would be a one in four hit rate which is diabolical.

Wow ty for the strong analysis that the draft is a total gamble. Look at this rocket surgeon here.

Seems like this is the guy the Chiefs wanted all along, congrats and I look forward to the old Offense with the new Defense. Just so unfair to the rest of the league. :)

Hahahaha…. Oh lord let it be true.

The guy on the draft said Reid is close with the Texas coach. So he probably gave him info on ad vs worthy

Bills are about to beg the League to ban themselves from ever trading again

The guy on the draft ay?

One of us! One of us! One of us!

I would just let ChatGPT try to translate those "thoughts" in your head next time.


;)


BTW, what I just said about Hollywood and Worthy clearing space for Rice and Kelce was just repeated by Brett Veach.

But that's CRAZY talk ....


;)

seems like he has a solid knack for finding and tracking the ball, which is pretty important

Now I see why people say u suck.

BEST XAVIER ON THE CHIEFS SINCE BABUDAR!!

Xavier Worthy needs a nickname.

I am very happy with this pick. I watched his entire season last year, and he takes some big hits and gets up like it's nothing. I bet he is going to look so strong by the start of the season.

I will say that having both Mitchell and Worthy there at 28, and taking Worthy does bum me out a little, because I think once again Veach is building a team without a number one wide receiver, because I feel like Rice is just a 2 at this point in his career, and more than likely Worthy will only ever be a number 2. He just doesn't have the frame to add enough size, in my opinion.

I would absolutely love to add another receiver in the draft.

Like maybe five teams have a true #1 WR


and none of them won the superbowl in the last two years

I have been watching a lot of old games, and in his first couple of years Hardman was absolutely electric.

The injury that caused him to lose the use of his legs for 10 days has sapped his juice.

Watch older highlights, his acceleration was lightning fast, but he is definitely significantly slower than he was.

Without that 4.2x speed, he isn't really an effective offensive player.

I have to remind myself that Mahomes and Worthy have already worked out together.

I have to believe (I am going to believe it, and no one will change my mind) that Mahomes must have told Veach to get him, because we could have stayed at 32 and probably gotten Adonai Mitchell.

Hardman is one of the few 5 star recruits on the Chiefs, so that makes sense.

Exactly. Rice and Worthy have the potential to be a great young duo. They can both be 1,000 yard guys year in and year out. Who gives a shit about "WR1!!!"

He's got to practice or gets too practice against McDuffie and our elite secondary just to get better against lesser opponents defense. Think about that. He practices against a championship defense and will get better for it. HOFer

If Veach could slide up and grab Kingsley Suamataia, I would be very, very happy.

Or, maybe they feel like Patrick Paul is going to fall to us at the bottom of the second.

At this point, even though Veach is a top GM, one receiver not sucking, is NOT redeeming him for his struggles drafting wide receivers.

Exactly.

:LOL:

And our defense is 10 times better than it was in 2018 :)

Agreed. One guy isn't the difference
. You need a group that's good.

We’re ****ed boys, ChafedTaint isn’t happy!!

NFL GM Says 'F--k Me' as Chiefs Draft Xavier Worthy for Patrick Mahomes After Trade

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/...es-after-trade

Oh man, he’s a hands catcher instead of a body catcher like our last super fast guy…

Your opinion really matters, cuckboy.

That doesn't necessarily always equate to success. Obviously what will be most beneficial is playing w Mahomes and having Reid design plays for him. With his speed he should be fine here and hopefully able to contribute significantly by the end of the season.

Look like the kids who got caught with their hands in the cookie jar! Those smirks say it all. We got exactly who they wanted!!

Sure, but having Mahomes isn't an excuse, or even worse, a reason, to have a bunch of scrubs at WR.

We have Hollywood, RR, and now Worthy. Everyone else is a JAG. Not just JAGs, but bottom barrel JAGs.

Eventually, I will find the podcast clip of Mahomes saying he has always wanted a jump ball receiver, and for me, we need a receiver that can't be taken out of the game easily with physical defensive play.

Sure, Worthy and Hollywood are fast, but let's be real, LJ Snead will maul them at the LOS, and they aren't nearly the receivers that Hill, Chase, Jefferson, etc. are, and Sneed shut them down by being physical.

This is one of the reasons I really want Brenden Rice. He is very big, very physical, and played with Caleb Williams.

Right now, the only player we have that has proven he can match physicality is Travis Kelce. Irv Smith Jr., Blake Bell, and Noah Gray aren't really physical at the point of the catch.

Javon Baker is another guy that's been getting hype

How about WR1MORE?

What a great pick!! I’m impressed with the kid’s quicks, his start/stops, and cuts.
Corn Dog is gonna get an update!

To me, a WR1 shouldn't be taken out of the game, at all.

That's what made Sneed's performances last year against those killers so amazing.

Tyreek Hill is a bowling ball with muscles, and Sneed basically erased him, twice, by playing physical defense. Neither Brown nor Worthy are anywhere close to as strong as Tyreek is.

To me, a WR1 can shrug off that physical play. It's not all about production.

I think Brown, RR, and Worthy is a pretty incredible receiver room, especially after last season. But, Brown and Worthy rely on speed to make plays, and if they can't get off the LOS, speed doesn't matter. Rice isn't necessarily physical, but he can absorb contact while running at least. We don't really know how he responds to physical play yet, because he didn't really face any.

...

PFF can not believe it...
