I like Corley a lot. I heard some teams asked him to try out as a RB during the combine though, your thoughts on him being a better fit here than elsewhere may be accurate. [Reply]

Wondered if he got hurt, or bc he's a tweaner his agent told him not to participate, but he was at the combine just decided not to go... any word on that? [Reply]

Depends on free agency, but right now, what the offense needs is a dependable speedster to take the top off the defense. You have the medium depth targets in Rice and Kelce. You need a guy that can run 'wasp', so to speak. [Reply]
How I look at the draft really depends on free agency.
If we go get Hollywood Brown, who is a 4.27 guy himself, then you have a speedster not too dissimilar to Worthy who can play outside and stretch the defense. With him, I'm not likely to look that hard at moving up or even necessarily getting a WR in 1. I'm probably looking at a slightly bigger slot guy or inside/outside guy.
If we instead go with a guy like Mooney, I see him more in a slot role primarily, more so than the move Z guy. Now I might look for a little more outside firepower a little earlier. That's where I'm looking at a guy like Franklin or Worthy or even moving up for a Thomas, though I think we might be surprised with how early Thomas goes. [Reply]
USC, 5-10, 174 lbs, 4.43. 1k yards and 8 TDS, 90% deep threat rating. 66% contested catch rate, 80.4% man to man separation score. Elite 3.06 yards per route run, 8.6 YAC, only 1 drop last season.
An excellent blocker on the outside, Washington also adds value in the running game. Very good hands, accepts the ball fluidly on most throws and is ready to make a play afterward. Makes catches in traffic, even going up over taller defenders with vertical and toughness.Fluid athlete with explosive burst and speed to stretch the field and breeze past defenders. Has a quick first step and gets to top speed in a hurry. His long arms allow him to play bigger than his size, and he has a frame that can carry a little more weight. A savvy, natural pass-catcher with reliable hands and very good focus. Snatches the ball out of the air and shows the concentration to make acrobatic catches look easy. Although he is more of a possession target than a field stretcher, he fiercely competitive demeanor and run-after-catch ability make him a major threat in the middle of the field.
Outplayed his teammate Rice Jr, but not getting any love? [Reply]

He'll be great for the first play right up until he gets snapped in half. Size concerns aside, he is certainly a better receiver than Rice. [Reply]

I figure he's a poor man's option if we want to avoid spending our premium pick on a guy like Worthy. [Reply]

I mentioned him elsewhere and I'd like him R5 ish. To be honest though I've been banging the drum pretty hard for us double dipping at WR...I'm not so sure now. Depends what we get in FA. I love the idea of loading up in the draft with cheap talent when it's there, but man we've got some holes to fill elsewhere and down the line. [Reply]
����������������: #Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes reached out to Texas WR Xavier Worthy via text message after he broke the 40 yard dash record at the combine, Worthy told @TheTylerDragon
Worthy also said that in a perfect world, he would get drafted to the Chiefs.
I have a request: does anyone have access to pffs analytics on the Texas receivers? I am curious about depth of target and success rates for first downs at various depths for Worthy and Mitchell. I kinda think they used Worthy how we use Rice the vast majority of the time, which is to say swings and screens to get the ball to him quickly, where Mitchell made his success through route craft down field. I am looking for some data to test that theory. [Reply]

I watched the every snap breakdown that was posted here. No, that's not accurate. Also not accurate: Both Texas QB's. [Reply]
