What rookie are you most excited for?
 

Just curious who everyone is most excited for of our drafted and undrafted rookies.


Personally, I really enjoyed what I saw out of Wiley at TCU.

Wiley I think. Worthy, unless he flat shits The bed, isn’t going to be a big surprise, imo.



Wiley could be the future TE1 after Travis retires.



Btw, thx for creating an actual football-related thread. Off-season Sux.

Yeah, we needed some real football talk instead of everything that kindve just keeps happening off the field.

Very much on the Wiley train as well. I also think he's the future TE1. Hopefully Kelce trains him up a bit.

r's and n's are so close. The poll may be confusing at first

I'm most excited for our potential left tackle of the future.

I'm most excited to see the fastest guy ever play for my favorite team, the Kansas City Chiefs!

I also am looking forward to seeing what Wiley and Hicks can do, I think those are probably the rookies that will see a relevant amount of snaps too.

I think Hicks is gonna fit ideally in this defense and be a great chess piece for Spags once he learns the system.

Draft picks like this are why the Chiefs are able to keep constantly turning over the DB room without losing a ton of production. it's why we can re-sign McDuffie after 2024 and let Justin Reid walk. Between Cook, Conner and now Hicks, we don't need to be paying money to more than one DB at a time.

And that's a BIG luxury to have in today's NFL.

Hope we keep Merritt and Spags forever and ever . . . . .

i think the answer has to be worthy. i'm also interested to see how many snaps wiley gets this year tho.

Personally, I was really hoping that Amarius Mims would fall in the first and we'd get our hands on him, but I do think getting Kingsley at the end of the 2nd round was a steal in itself. Honestly, I think Rounds 2 through 6 Veach got a lot of contributors who have potentially high ceilings.

This.

Excited about Worthy. We desperately needed a good receiver with speed.
I hope this draft pick works out. I am optimistic.

Punt God is classified as a rookie as well.

Between Veach and Spags, I have absolutely no doubt that we cant' maintain this mindset and keep an inexpensive secondary. Great point!

Nice try but I’ll need to hear a speech from each explaining all of their views before I can pick who I like.

Very true!

Gotta go with Kingsley, considering LT has been unstable since Fisher left.

Worthy for sure. I'm excited to see long bombs back in the play book. And Pacheco is going to feast

Honestly, I am quite a bit eager to see how much more effective Pacheco is with Worthy AND Hollywood able to go deep...

I was not big on Fisher, but yeah, compared to what we've had since then...

I very much possibly took a stable, albeit underwhelming, bookend like him for granted.

Suamateiawhatever has a chance to plug the LT spot for however many years Patrick plays. If he pans out, this will be the steal of the draft.

Whatever one is a devout Catholic has my vote!

Honestly its Wiley. I was hyped for Kelce when he was drafted. As a former tight end (make your jokes) there's just something exciting about a plus tight end prospect.

I wasn't very draft savvy yet when we drafted Kelce, but I have been hoping for us to go get a guy the last few years, and when I was watching tape before the draft, Wiley really stuck out in my opinion. Hoping we can keep the TE as a highly contributing position.

Tbf, it's unlikely that Wiley will be the next Travis Kelce. And I say 'fair,' because a lot of people are going to expect that much from him because he's the heir apparent, and those are really tough shoes to fill.

When I think about it, we've been insanely lucky to have a pair of the greatest TEs in NFL history back-to-back in our lifetimes, and the odds of drafting the next all-world TE with Wiley are just infinitesimal. But I like what little I've seen of him on tape, and even if he only turns out to be an average starting TE (better than Gray) he'll still be a great get for us, simply because this offense is geared around the TE position.

Oh, I get it entirely. Some people will be let down because they'll expect another HoF TE, but if he can be a good TE and be reliable for 650 to 700 yards a year and contribute as he's needed, I'm more than happy.

Nonsense, 100% of our draft picks will be hall of famers, until proven otherwise.

Yah, that's pretty much what I'm hoping for. A solid TE1 that can give the offense a little of that security blanket element.

Worthy's the obvious answer, but I think Sua showing out as a stud LT would be amazing!

If Wiley shows some flashes early in the season we'll all be going crazy!

THAT'S the spirit! I love it!

Worthy, Wiley, Kingsley, then Araiza

Worthy, with Wiley getting an honorable mention

I think I may be alone, but I'm very.... iffy on Worthy, not because I don't think he has the talent, but man, his frame makes me wonder if he's gonna have trouble staying on the field in the Pros. He seems tough, and I hope its just me being anxious about the WR room rather than a real problem.

If Wiley shows up a bit Year 1, I think this place will lose it. Having a plan in place for when Kelce retires I think puts a lot of minds at ease.

Worthy and Kingsly.

I'd hate to see the offense stall, but it would be great to watch a fanbase get completely demoralized when Araiza pins a team on an 80 yard punt

I think that moment is coming. He's much more likely to be rusty and shaky right off the bat but eventually...yeah, he's gonna' boom an impossible kick.

any who are not in jail by game time

I think as long as Araiza can consistently hold the ball on PKs for Butker I'll be fine with whatever he does as a punter, tbh.

Damn, you're shooting for a really high bar, aren't you?LMAO

Im excited about them all. Especially worthy and wiley.

But im excited to see if Emani Bailey brings juice to the rb room.

I still can't believe we got him. Especially with the Bills on the board. If someone would've told me that a month ago I would've told them they were out of their minds.

I may not be the biggest Worthy fan, but that did blow my mind that he was on the board and the Bills handed him to us for such a low premium in draft capital.

I’m most excited to see and hear about Sua’s development over the offseason because of what it means for us going forward. Solving LT (and on the cheap) is a cheat code for us.

I’m going to be patient with Worthy and Wiley, so I view whatever good stuff they can bring to the table year one as frosting on the cake.

I'm excited for them in roughly the order of their draft selection.
I expect Worthy to be a contributor this year.
I would love to see Wiley become a versatile and sneaky TE, ala Kelce.
I would love to see all the rest become contributors this year or the next.

IMOP he's exactly what we need. WR with elite speed that can run all the routes and track the ball. I never expected to get one as talented as him where we were picking.

Yeah, I'd say he's the one we NEED to pan out the most right?

Worthy excites me. Nice to see some lethal speed back on the offense. Supposed to be a helluva ball tracker too. With Mahomes throwing to him...holy shit this dude could go the **** OFF this year.

Wiley intrigues me. He's important, as he may be the new Trav, or as close as you can get.

Kingsley because by all accounts he could have gone in the 1st to us, and instead we get him at the end of the 2nd. He's a big dude. If he works out...we're good to go at that position for a long time.

I agree with that mostly out of the nature of the position. It's one position that needs to be filled by one guy. There's no committee or rotation or corps of LTs like you have with WR. Plus we've already seen the team win a Super Bowl without great WR play. If LT quality isn't reasonable bare minimum, we've seen what happens, and it's not pretty.

You can't go wrong with any of the top 3

You can go for the sexy sizzle of Worthy and Wiley

Or you can go with the meat and potatoes lineman

All three have their own unique intrigue's and fit's

Insanely tough choice because I think highly of all of the top 5 picks. I mocked Worthy and Wiley so much this season and I feel like I have more expectations than excitement with those two. In the end, I went with Suamataia. I didn't think we had a shot to get the kid outside of taking him in the 1st and there could be growing pains, but he could be a legitimate franchise LT. If we can get that from a guy taken in the late 2nd, it's a major win no matter what the rest do. Filling pillar positions at a value is incredibly difficult.

Hadden is my sleeper here. Would be great for Veach to find another quality DB late and make us feel better about the Sneed trade. I think we found another one.

Kingsley was my pick though. If that pick hits, it solves a major need for years to come. Sign me up for a young LT to solidify the OL for the middle third of Mahomes’s career.

I know it's a cop out, but I am excited for most of our draft picks, and some of UDFAs.

I really think that Worthy and Wiley are going to make a big impact on the offense, and I think Suamataia is going to have growing pains, but by the end of the season we will all see his potential starting to pay off.

And I think we have at least 2, but maybe 3 UDFAs that could make an impact this season.

I feel like Jacobs and Lovett could have been drafted, and we may actually have to elevate them from the PS or lose them at some point this season, however, I wouldn't rule out either making the initial 60 man roster.

I think that Bailey has an outside chance to make the team, or hang out on the PS. He is just an Andy Reid type player. Also, Phillip Brooks is an Andy Reid type player, and I would love to see him get a chance. He couldn't be worse than Skyy Moore.

A couple of players I think could be great developmental PS guys for the future are OL Ethan Driskell, and TE Baylor Cupp. I feel like Driskell has lots of upside, and it will be interesting to see if they move Baylor Cupp to tackle or guard, or really use him as a TE. He really isn't a pass catcher, and is really just a blocker, so a move to OL seems logical, but a Jason Dunn type TE could work as well.

Worthy, Kingsley and Wiley are the obvious choices here, but I’m going with Hicks. I think Spags gets him snaps early and he makes a big impact.

Week 1 vs the Ravens is perfect for him. He’s a bigger stronger safety who can stack up against a team like that.

My zipper bursts wide open every time I think about Mahomes to Worthy

Can't wait to hear Punt God give the commencement speech at SDSU in a few years. Him and Butler should have some interesting conversations about the moral degradation of society.

Here's a philosophical question to ponder: can Mahomes throw a ball so far that even Worthy can't catch it?

We're about to find out
