As many expected, the Cardinals selected Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. with the fourth overall pick in the NFL Draft last night, but with their second selection, The Cards then took Missouri defensive end Darius Robinson with the 27th pick. Robinson impressed scouts at the Senior Bowl where he was named “practice player of the week,” and flourished at Mizzou from his junior to senior year where he lost some weight and went from playing inside defensive tackle to becoming a force edge rusher.
On the season, he recorded 43 total tackles, 8.5 sacks, and 14 tackles for losses, leading all Mizzou defensive linemen.
The Chiefs used their first-round pick to add another speedy offensive weapon. Kansas City traded up and drafted Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy with the 28th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Worthy totaled 75 receptions for 1,014 yards and five touchdowns while suiting up for the Longhorns last season. Worthy set an NFL Combine record by running a 4.21 40-yard dash. He had 62 catches his freshman year at Texas and not only brings speed to the wide receiver corp of the Chiefs, but he becomes a special teams option.
The Chiefs are scheduled to next pick with the 64th overall selection in the second round.
