- Early career production - Dynamic threat downfield & after the catch - Elite speed & start-stop ability - Fluid mover w/ good route running chops - Ball tracking is A+
Not entirely sure why the vibe isn't higher when talking about him in the WR class. pic.twitter.com/dv3JjdyZgh
I'll write something fresh about Worthy tomorrow morning now that he's a Chief to lay out how he's more than speed, but for now here's an excerpt from article linked in the below tweet... https://t.co/EcW7QtUrFFpic.twitter.com/811ahCEfMS
You're not going to nail every pick, but some people act like the Chiefs have spent all this high value draft capital at WR and gotten nothing in return, when that is not reality.
We've been to 4 super bowls in six years. We're back to back defending champs.
That's Veach's job and he's done it better than everyone else in the NFL.

We have Hollywood, RR, and now Worthy. Everyone else is a JAG. Not just JAGs, but bottom barrel JAGs.
Eventually, I will find the podcast clip of Mahomes saying he has always wanted a jump ball receiver, and for me, we need a receiver that can't be taken out of the game easily with physical defensive play.
Sure, Worthy and Hollywood are fast, but let's be real, LJ Snead will maul them at the LOS, and they aren't nearly the receivers that Hill, Chase, Jefferson, etc. are, and Sneed shut them down by being physical.
This is one of the reasons I really want Brenden Rice. He is very big, very physical, and played with Caleb Williams.
Right now, the only player we have that has proven he can match physicality is Travis Kelce. Irv Smith Jr., Blake Bell, and Noah Gray aren't really physical at the point of the catch.
If you want a Hill or CHase or Jefferson, you either take them really high in the draft, you pay one alot after you trade for him, or you develop a guy into that. [Reply]

Chris Clark, who is a good football mind, although boring to listen to, made a very good point in saying that he didn't think the Worthy pick was a reach from the sense that only 20 something players in the draft were true 1st rounders. But Worthy was a consensus 2nd rounder, top 10 in that round. He really likes the pick and he is normally very critical and logical with a lot of his takes.
And later listening to Andy's presser, it seems the niners were aiming to pick him at 31 so he felt Veach needed to make that jump. Then, Lynch panicked and drafted Pearsall instead.
If healthy, this kid can produce. He is obviously more talented than Hardman and seems intelligent to add to his athleticism.
But the thin frame is a big question mark. [Reply]

Do you realize how ridiculous it is to say "Other than three guys, the WR is trash" - especially when you have Travis Kelce at TE?
How deep do you think NFL WRs are? Other than the Green Bay Packers, who out there has depth beyond WR1-3 where you're really like "Ooooh, that guy is nasty?" [Reply]

They're also the same jags we won the super bowl with last year, so... [Reply]
