Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy flashes speed at rookie minicamp
Wide receiver Xavier Worthy showed one of the biggest reasons the Kansas City Chiefs drafted him in the first round during the team's rookie camp when he left defenders behind on a deep pattern down the middle and caught a pass from quarterback Chris Oladokun. The camp wasn't perfect for Worthy, who dropped a few passes during his first practice and sat out the last part after his leg cramped.

Expert Commentary
The Chiefs add some speed to their wide receiver room and some playmaking for Patrick Mahomes. This does feel a tad redundant with Marquise Brown on the roster, but that's only a one-year deal. Mahomes solves all problems, and having Rashee Rice on the roster is a nice changeup from the Brown and Worthy combo, but a 165-pound player in the first round is a bit of a tough sell.

Expert Commentary
One plus is not enough here — this is a potentially franchise-altering pick for the Chiefs here at the bottom of the second round. Suamataia is a bit raw, but he has legitimate franchise left tackle athleticism and movement ability. Throw him out there and let him grow into an elite tackle.
