The two-time defending champions had a need at receiver. They didn't want to wait for their 32nd pick. By setting up an exchange with Buffalo for choice 28, Kansas City sets its sights on Xavier Worthy, the darling of the last combined.
The Chiefs receive pick 28, but also picks 133 (4th round) and 248 (7th round). The Bills receive picks 32 (1st round), 95 (3rd round) and 221 (7th round).
A new rocket for Patrick Mahomes
Is it Tyreek Hill's blues or just Rashee Rice's legal troubles? The Chiefs therefore opt for a speedster who could very quickly shine thanks to Patrick Mahomes.
The Texas receiver made a splash at the Indianapolis event by breaking the 40-yard dash record. In 2023, Xavier Worthy caught 75 balls for Texas University, with 1,014 yards and 5 touchdowns.
If Rashee Rice continues his career or is only suspended for a few games, Kansas City could field a nice duo of receivers. Rice asserted himself over the weeks until the last title and Worthy will be able to stretch the defenses and open up even more space for him. Also interesting for Travis Kelce who is starting to get older, with 34 years on the clock.
