Three brilliant draft picks have Kansas City Chiefs primed for another Super Bowl run

The Chiefs offense has been lacking in the speed category since trading away Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins. They filled that need this offseason. Worthy ran a 4,21-second 40-yard dash at the combine. He is automatically one of the fastest players in the NFL without playing a snap. Now his frame is slight, at 6’1” and 172 pounds, but we’ve seen this size of wide receiver survive in the NFL. Philadelphia Eagles receiver DeVonta Smith is a great recent example.

If Worthy and free agent signing Marquis Brown both earn starting roles with the Chiefs, opponents better up their speed training for their secondaries. I wouldn’t expect huge numbers from Worthy as a rookie, but with these two roadrunners stretching the defense, I’d be selecting Kelce for your fantasy football teams, because he is going to be wide-open in the middle of the field all season. The fact that the Bills traded back to allow the Chiefs to make this draft selection is a bit mind-boggling.

Kingsley Suamataia, OT, BYU

This was actually a player I had pegged for the San Francisco 49ers at his exact draft spot (Round 2, pick 63). Then the Chiefs talked 49ers general manager John Lynch into trading out and the Chiefs drafted him. At 6’6” and 329 pounds, Suamataia is a large individual. He may or may not start his rookie season, but he is intelligent and although his run block rate was low in college (52.9%), his athleticism is off the charts.

His RAS rating came out at 9.38, showing he has the physical prowess to be Mahomes’ blindside protector for the next decade. With good coaching, this probable first-year swing tackle will earn dividends for the Chiefs’ organization for years to come.

Jared Wiley, TE, TCU

When you see a 6’6” 249-pound tight end line up as an H-Back, you know he has athleticism. Then you watch him high point a seam route or outrun the opponent’s safeties, you just have to say, “wow”. That’s Wiley. Although he isn’t known for his blocking skills, he reminds me a lot of a mixture of Kelce lining up in the slot or out wide and George Kittle catching passes out of the backfield.

I know the Chiefs also added free agent Irv Smith Jr., but I expect Wiley to pass him on the depth chart. The idea of having both Wiley and Kelce on the field at the same time with Brown and Worthy lined up wide must have Mahomes just giggling and opposing defensive coaches losing their hair.
