Plenty of teams need WRs. In the top 10, the Bears, Commanders, Cardinals, Patriots, Chargers, Giants, Falcons, and Jets could all feasibly take one if some of them decide not to go OL or QB. I'd say it's a lock the top 3 WRs go in the top 9 picks.
After those, the Colts at 15, Bengals at 18, Texans at 23 are all easy possibilities. You also have trade-up possibilities by the Bucs, Cardinals (if they don't take one at 4), Bills, Ravens, and Chiefs.
Those guys went at 22 and 23. If a team wants a downfield playmaker to compliment their #1 because they have one (like the Colts if they re-sign Pittman, the Bengals, the Texan, the Bills, etc) then they are likely to want Worthy over Thomas Jr, Mitchell, Franklin etc.
That's why I have been saying now for a day that there is a great shot he's the 4th WR taken. I'd almost bet on it. Almost.
