I always get a kick out of of this coach had never done this that it the other thing with rookies...

Bottom line, if the guy shows he can outproduce the alternatives, and help the team win, he's gonna play. Now that bar might be higher for some coaches than others, but simple reality.

but here's the catch, if Worthy, with that kind of speed , was also the kind of receiver that you simply can't help but play because he's so damned good, than he would been held in the same regard as Nabors, Harrison and Odunze, but he wasn't. Wasn't even in the next tier down until he ran the 40.

Could also be CEH deja vu?

Worthy was not really projected as a top prospect until his 40 time. Look what happened the last time KC took a "surprise" player. i.e. CEH

Saw quite a few that had Worthy as a mid-late 2nd round pick and Mitchell as a late 1st pre-combine/draft, but then they were drafted in the exact opposite way
:shrug:

The big combine 'riser' was Pearsall imo

I think pretty clearly there were 3 1st round WRs and the others all required a team to fall in love.

CEH, Hardman.. they don't seem to learn their lesson about over drafting niche offensive skill sets

I'd say the issue with CEH is that he doesn't have a niche

I can still see KC reaching out for Aiyuk or Deebo this summer.

Aiyuk almost certainly is too rich for their blood.

MVS or Gage maybe. If Treylon Burks fizzles out of Tennessee I'm sure Veach is ready to throw a mid round pick at him.

Johnny Newton have Jones fracture surgery on the other foot now....making me a lot happier with the Titans getting T.Sweat ahead of the run on DTs in the 2nd round now.

Big Jeff and Sweat are gonna be tough for even the best OLs to handle

Wheels up for Worthy then, cause that means the Chiefs are going to try force him into becoming a thing his first 2 seasons
Had my other dynasty draft tonight and Worthy slid to 9. So i stopped his skid.
Hope he isnt KC deja vu.

It'll help Worthy's stock if Rice is suspended.

I can see that. He has gone anywhere from 1.4 to 2.2 in the ones I've done. Is he going to be as good as Rashee Rice was last year or terrible like Skye Moore or Mecole Hardman? As good as Andy Reid is as an offensive mind, he hasn't exactly knocked it out of the park with the skill position guys in the early rounds. His best picks have been later. Kelce was a 3rd rounder, Reek was a 5th rounder, Kareem Hunt was a 3rd rounder and Pacheco was a 7th rounder. Of course he made up for all of that by moving up to take Mahomes in 2017, but he was also the one in the draft room that was absolutely thrilled that they got CEH at 32. I found this tweet from right before the draft. So clearly the NFL front office "experts" have even less than a normal idea of how good 1st round wide receivers will be than any other position.
