With Rice's future up in the air they add a playmaker, Mitchell, to their WR room.

[Boda]

If Worthy is there, I believe he's the pick.  He will give the Chiefs offense something it hasn't had since Tyreek. 

[swede700]

I'll actually be surprised if they keep the pick.  I ultimately think they'll trade with someone who wants to grab a guy like Nix...or in this draft, Penix, who's still available.  But, for the sake of it, they're taking a Texas WR...doesn't really matter which one.  Worthy may fit their typical style of WR, but Mitchell probably will eventually be a better WR.

It's always best to draft the fastest wide receiver, right? It always works out, right?

Mitchell for me, please.

A lot of other picks within a few slots of where the player was actually drafted.  Anything within 3 picks from pick 10-19, and anything within 5 picks for pick 20-32 is pretty good.

Where things are more likely to fall apart is when you wait four years and consider what a redraft would look like.  That isn't a ding on a mock draft; it's a recognition of the actual drafters being unable to accurately project college players to the NFL.
