Chiefs Secure Speedy WR Xavier Worthy in Strategic NFL Draft Trade with Bills

The Kansas City Chiefs traded up to select Texas WR Xavier Worthy, enhancing their offensive lineup with record-setting speed, while the Buffalo Bills traded down, sparking debate over their strategy.

The Kansas City Chiefs traded up four spots to select Xavier Worthy from Texas with the 28th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, a player known for his record-breaking 4.21-second 40-yard dash.
Buffalo Bills traded their 28th pick to the Chiefs and then moved out of the first round altogether, raising questions about their strategy given their need for a top receiver.
The trade reflects the Chiefs' ongoing efforts to bolster their receiving corps, especially after a season where their wide receivers underperformed.
Critics and fans alike have questioned the Bills' decision to trade with a direct rival, especially one that has consistently outperformed them in recent playoffs.
This trade marks another significant draft interaction between the Chiefs and Bills, reminiscent of the 2017 trade that enabled the Chiefs to draft Patrick Mahomes.
