  1. Damn have a bad feeling we’ll look back on this one and wish we would have taken Mitchell instead

  2. I’m jumping with joy at this pick. Xavier Worthy was my WR4 this draft and is a perfect fit with Andy Reid’s offense with getting YAC and tracking the ball extremely well down the field to take advantage of his speed. He also gets pretty good separation on his routes so he is not just a one trick pony with speed, he is very good in the intermediate areas of the field to get separation then break tackles in the secondary for more yardage.

  3. Texas fan. Worthy is a legit deep threat and all around elite WR. At times he can body catch and have some very bad drops. Until he broke the 40 record I thought he might slide into the 2nd because of it.

    It’s a good pick if they wanted fast WR who is actually good at getting open. A big body like Mitchell seemed like a better fit.

  4. I hate it. Speedsters who jump up draft boards based on their combine 40 time never pan out. Mitchell was right there

  5. I’m not sure why we trade up, I truly feel he was going to be available at 32

  6. As soon as Mahomes tweeted about his 40 time, I knew he was going to be a Chief. Really wish they had taken Mitchell instead.

  7. As a longhorn alum and as such fan, worthy is going to ball out for yall. Some of the “drop” issue were from last season when he played through a broken hand and still had huge moments.

    He also competes above his size, often taking contact instead of going out of bounds. I think you want that less in the NFL, but I think that speaks to his toughness and personality well.

    He is fast obviously but has very good route skills, just as often as he was our down field threat he was our goal line choice by just straight up running a route that juked his man for a goal line touchdown. He will no doubt be a dynamic deep threat that stretches defenses but he will also do work in the intermediate part of the field and off of wr screens.

  8. Leggit or Mitchell would have been my pick for trading up. Worthy would still be there at 32. But Reid likes speed. In Veach we trust. Get ready for the jet sweep 5 times a game.

  9. They traded up because they want HIM and not just any receiver that was left over. Don’t get stuck on the physical measurables, Worthy has been vetted.

  10. I wanted Mitchell. After having a few minutes to think about it. I think Andy Reid will find a way to maximize Worthy’s potential. He’s Andy Reids type. Desean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, Tyreek. Andy likes speed. Mecole’s not on the same level as those guys. But 3/4 aint bad.

  11. Yeeeeeaaahhhhh buddy!!! He was who I had mocked from the start. Finally got a field stretcher in the Reek mold.

  12. When we traded back for Moore I had to convince myself he would be good. I wanted Mitchell but I know Worthy will be good. Especially with Reid and Mahomes.

  13. Veach not fucking around about adding speed the the WR room and I’m here for it. Hollywood, Worthy, LRZ

  14. Everyone who says anything slightly negative about this pick is being downvoted, because people blindly just agree with everything we do and want to believe we just drafted a star. Xavier Worthy may be a good WR, but it is way more likely that a 165 lb WR ends up being a bust. Go ahead a downvote away.

  15. I cannot believe we actually got him. I would’ve thought he would be gone by the 10th or 11th we got so lucky. Glad we traded up with the Bills

  16. Honestly this is the guy I wanted more than anyone else in the draft. Forget the logic- I just wanted to see that high octane speedy chiefs offense again. We’re back! I trust in our team to develop this guy.

  17. Worthy is the definition of boom or bust. I’ll bet on Mahomes and Reid to make the most of his talent.

    Edit: After watching the Texas pro day video, nobody will convince me that Mitchell is the better prospect. (He will be a fine player in his own right.)

  18. I mean Bills trading to the Chiefs worked out for us last time!

    If X. Worthy comes close to his promise, we should always trade up to the Bills.

  19. All you doomer goofballs in here are a bunch of sad sorry sacks of broncos. Armchair GMs are my least favorite footballs fans.

  20. To everyone saying that Worthy would’ve been there at 32, I legitimately don’t think he gets past Baltimore, and definitely not San Francisco. Dallas was always going O-Line, but the Ravens and Niners were clearly in the mix. 

  21. I’ve been a huge Chiefs fan since the mid 60’s and someone needs to call it like it is with some of the Chiefs draft choices in the first round.
    Worthy is an illusion we will regret choosing, just like we did when we chose CEH. Granted, he’s very fast, however very slight in frame and has a history of drops. He’s now playing with the big boys of the NFL. Fans will be screaming about this mistake by seasons end.
    I thought the Chiefs learned their lesson with Hardman & Toney. Apparently not. Our 3 peat is in jeopardy unless we pick up a more reliable WR in the next few rounds. GO CHIEFS!
