Couple late night picks in the NFL draft grabbing some attention of local football fans
First let’s tell you what the Chiefs did, they move up trading with the Buffalo Bills to number 28 so they can select University of Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy…..giving Patrick Mahomes a much needed weapon in that receiving core
Worthy last year 75 catches 1014 yards and five touchdowns averaged better than 13 and a half yards per catch, meanwhile a couple of picks before…the Arizona Cardinals select former Mizzou defense of lineman Darius Robinson
What a success story here as Robinson probably an afterthought in the NFL just a couple of years ago, he sticks around under Eli Drinkwitz it becomes one of the better defenders in the entire southeastern conference
Robinson selected number 27 overall again actually just a pick before Worthy went to the Chiefs
Number one overall shouldn’t have surprised anybody it was former USC quarterback Caleb Williams, a former Heisman trophy winner as well
In fact we had back -to -back Heisman trophy winners go…one to the 2023 Heisman winner Jayden Daniels selected number two by the Washington commanders.
