A notable development in the initial round of the 2024 NFL Draft was the surprising decision by the Bills to engage in a trade with the Chiefs, who have been a formidable opponent in recent playoff clashes. Kansas City exchanged picks 32, 95, and 221 with Buffalo for picks 28, 133, and 248, as reported by ESPN’s Field Yates. Subsequently, the Chiefs used the 28th pick to select Xavier Worthy, a swift wide receiver from Texas known for setting the record for the fastest 40-yard dash time in NFL Combine history at 4.21 seconds. Worthy’s capabilities extend beyond speed, leading the Big 12 in both receiving yards (2,755) and touchdowns (26) over the past three seasons. Despite facing backlash for the move, Bills’ general manager Brandon Beane stands by the decision to trade with Kansas City, confident that their draft position would not have influenced the Chiefs’ choice of a receiver. Following the trade, Buffalo now possesses multiple picks across various rounds, providing an opportunity to replenish their roster after significant player departures and trades during the offseason.
