Chiefs draft analysis 2024: Pick-by-pick analysis of the Chiefs draft class

Round 1, 28th overall (via BUF): Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas

The Kansas City Chiefs traded up to the 28th overall pick and selected Texas Longhorns wide receiver Xavier Worthy. You’ll remember the name, Worthy wasn’t just one of the fastest players at the NFL Combine 2024, he broke the NFL Combien record with a 4.21 40-yard dash.

Dane Brugler of The Athletic rated Worthy as the 10th-best wide receiver in the NFL Draft, graded as a Day 2 talent likely to go in the back half of the second round. Worthy’s speed, either with the football in his hands or when stretching the field, is like no other. However, he’s only 165 pounds and there is a very short list of wide receivers that thin working at the next level. If any team can make it work, it will be the Chiefs, but Worthy is a big gamble.

Round 2, 63rd overall: Kingsley Suamataia, OT, BYU

The Chiefs traded up again in the 2024 NFL Draft, this time moving up a single spot in the second round. There was a little bit of buzz on Wednesday that Kingsley, Suamataia could be targeted by the Kansas City Chiefs with the 32nd overall pick, now they get him a full round later. He probably shouldn’t be seeing the field early in the 2024 season, but he’s an excellent athlete with plenty of thickness to his frame. With time, he could develop into a very solid starter for Kansas City.
