On Wednesday, the Kansas City Chiefs rocked the NFL world by trading six-time Pro-Bowl wide receiver Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins.
The Chiefs received the No. 29 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft as a result of the trade (along with four other draft picks).
NFL.com updated their latest mock draft immediately after the Hill trade.
And they now have Kansas City taking North Dakota State wide receiver Christian Watson with the No. 30 overall pick (they have the Chiefs taking Penn State edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie at No. 29).
Watson is 6-foot-4 and runs a 4.36 40-yard dash. That size/speed combination alone makes Watson a unique draft prospect.
The only downside is Watson hasn't played against tougher competition. And his route-running needs some work. This would be a gamble/high upside kind of pick.
Watson's dad, by the way, is Tim Watson, a former safety with the Chiefs from 1993 to 1995.
