Some quick reactions to the Chiefs move and pick:
[h=2]Who was the best pick of the night?[/h]Miller: Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas to the Chiefs at No. 28. What has the Chiefs’ offense been missing since trading away Tyreek Hill? A legit deep threat with high-end speed. Well, they’ll have the fastest player in combine history — Worthy ran a 4.21-second 40-yard dash — running go routes for Patrick Mahomes. Worthy is a speed demon, but he’s also a complete route runner. And he had great production early in his career as a punt returner. He’s not as big or physical at the catch point as Hill — he’s only 165 pounds — but the deep ball is back in Kansas City.
[h=2]What was the best trade up, down or for a player during Round 1?[/h]Yates: The Chiefs trading up to No. 28 from No. 32 for Worthy. My consistent evaluation of Worthy during the pre-draft process was that he would be an ideal fit for a team that won’t press him into No. 1 receiver duties out of the gate. And Kansas City won’t, with Travis Kelce, Rashee Rice and Marquise Brown in town. Worthy adds a dynamic element to a Chiefs team that up until the playoffs really struggled to generate explosive plays. He and Brown inject this roster with world-class speed.

Worthy is not going to be the next Tyreek Hill, but he can fly after the catch and has some route-running ability. Kansas City got Nos. 28, 133 and 248, while Buffalo acquired Nos. 32, 95 and 221.
