How would you rate the Kansas City Chiefs’ draft performance, particularly their selections of Xavier Worthy, Kingsley Suamataia, and the rest of their 2024 NFL Draft class?
The Kansas City Chiefs selected seven players in the 2024 NFL Draft, first trading up for Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy at No. 28 before also trading up for BYU offensive tackle Kingsley Suamataia late in the second round at No. 63. Then, the Chiefs were quiet until late in the fourth round, which kicked off a busy Day 3. On Saturday, the Chiefs selected TCU tight end Jared Wiley with pick No. 131, Washington State safety Jaden Hicks at No. 133, Penn State offensive lineman Hunter Nourzad at No. 159, Tennessee cornerback Kamal Hadden at No. 211 and Holy Cross guard C.J. Hanson at No. 248.
With that haul in the books and undrafted free agents filling out the rest of the roster, what grade do the Chiefs deserve for their work in the draft? The Arrowhead Report on SI.com crew breaks it down.Jordan Foote: Top to bottom, this was a quality draft class for the Chiefs. They maintained solid value with their trades, sacrificing only the availability of a third-round pick, and maximized their opportunities to add talent. Xavier Worthy and Kingsley Suamataia could push for starting spots as rookies, which is exactly what a team should want from its first- and second-round picks.
Jared Wiley and Jaden Hicks are intriguing upside selections and should be role players early in their rookie deals. Hunter Nourzad has tons of versatility and experience, making him an ideal Nick Allegretti replacement. Kamal Hadden and C.J. Hanson serve as nice organizational depth. This haul has something for everyone and managed to bridge the gap between need, timing, floor and upside. You can’t ask for much more.
Joshua Brisco: On Saturday morning, I wrote that the Chiefs had a borderline-perfect first two days, landing Worthy and Suamataia at the right time, at great value, at positions of need, as players who fit KC’s mold at both positions. Saturday night, I gave KC’s Day 3 haul an A-, earned by making five smart investments in high-ceiling prospects who have clear paths to production. It’s impossible to really grade a draft class before the players ever put on pads for their new team,
but the Chiefs’ process and their ability to find value while picking players who make complete sense for their schemes makes this effort an inarguable success. General manager Brett Veach’s best draft so far had been 2022, especially with the benefit of two first- and second-round picks. Considering the more limited pool of ammunition the Chiefs had to work with this year, this is KC’s most impressive management of the draft board in the Veach era.
Zack Eisen: The Chiefs did an excellent job throughout draft weekend. First, they got a speedy playmaker to bolster the wide receiver room with Worthy, then they came back in round two with Suamataia, who would have been a fine pick in the first round if they weren’t able to get Worthy. After answering the two biggest needs on the roster, they found depth at key positions to help build the roster for the future. Right now, it looks like another successful weekend for Veach, Andy Reid, and their staff. We will see how it all shakes out in the near future, but it looks like a home run from Kansas City this weekend.
Mark Van Sickle: The Chiefs addressed immediate needs early in the draft and were able to address some depth and future needs the rest of the way. Worthy has a chance to make this offense the most explosive it’s been since 2018. Suamatia has the chance to compete for the starting left tackle job and has the ceiling to be the protector of Patrick Mahomes’ blindside for the next several years. If Wiley is the succession plan for Travis Kelce and Hicks is the succession plan for Justin Reid, those two could play critical roles on this team in the future. Nouzard feels like the successor to
Allegretti as a versatile offensive lineman who will be a backup but can play anywhere along the offensive line when called upon. Hadden is a nice depth piece for the secondary and can be a special teams player, and Hanson will give more depth to the offensive line. Overall, the Chiefs did what they needed to do heading into this draft, and it looks like they don’t have any glaring needs while still having plenty of time to add in late free agency before training camp

Elvira, 73, exposes Ariana Grande, 31, and says she was her worst and rudest Celeb encounter for what she did to her and Ari was quick to clap back but fans negatively react “Anxiety is not an excuse!”
During a recent conversation with her fans, Cassandra Peterson — better known as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark — revealed she had a bad interaction with a celebrity whose name “rhymes with Pariana Mande.” She then doubled down, reposting an article about her remarks on Instagram and hash-tagging Ariana Grande’s name.
It was this post that caught Ariana Grande’s eye. “I’m so disheartened to see this,” the Wicked star commented on Elvira’s post. “I actually don’t even remember getting the chance to meet you because I had an anxiety attack and to my memory, left before the rest of my family.”
In parentheses, Grande explained that she went to Elvira’s show “around 7 years ago,” when she was “really not great with being in public crowds or loud places.” She went on to apologize, and to praise Elvira. “If I’m misremembering this moment, I sincerely apologize for offending you so,” she wrote. “Thank you for being so nice to my mom, she told me how lovely you were (she might have different feelings about that now but I’ll talk to her… clearly, we all have our days!)”
What Happened Between Ariana & Elvira?
Elvira told fans about her encounter with Grande during a Q&A at Knott’s Berry Farm in California, claiming that the pop star requested 20 tickets to her show for her family and friends, but refused to take a picture with her in return.
“We gave her the tickets and she comes backstage and she asks if I can take pictures with all of her friends and relatives she brought,” she recalled, as seen in a viral video. “I take a picture with every single one of them, I sign autographs for every single one of them. Then I say to her, ‘Can we take a photo together?’ And she goes, ‘No, I don’t really do that.’”
Elvira also remembered that Grande left before the show began, which aligns with Grande’s memory of the night. “All her relatives stayed, and she took off,” Elvira said.
Here’s Ariana’s response:
After a round of boos from the Q&A audience, someone on stage with Elvira quipped, “she’s playing the wrong witch,” nodding to Grande’s role in Wicked as Glinda the Good Witch.
There seem to be no hard feelings on Grande’s side, as she ended her comment by writing “sending love always” and declaring that Elvira will “always be our queen of halloween.” Elvira has yet to respond to Grande’s apology.

Keanu Reeves, 60, finally Confirmed Marriage to Winona Ryder, 52, after 30 years, reacting to the viral marriage rumors between him and Alexandra Grant “I want to clear all doubts and make things clear that…” See more
Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves are still madly in (platonic) love with each other.
The former “Dracula” costars have known each other since the 1980s and, as they divulged during a 2018 press tour for “Destination Wedding,” their onscreen nuptials in the 1992 Bram Stoker adaptation might’ve been legally binding.
On the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast Monday, host Josh Horowitz asked Ryder how “the two biggest luddites on the planet” even keep in touch.
“I know,” said Ryder. “But we do text, and we always say who it is, even though it says it on the text … On his birthday, when I’m like, ‘Happy Birthday, my husband!’ and I put ‘Noni,’ he’s like, ‘Hey, wife! Love you, KR 57.’ On each birthday he’s like, ‘KR 57’ or whatever his age is.”
“He’s always done that,” she explained.
Ryder and Reeves were familiar with each other long before they were cast in “Dracula.”
“We met in the late ’80s, like ’87, ’88, at one of the early Independent Spirit Awards at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel,” she told People in 2018. “It wasn’t televised. Buck Henry was the emcee, and we gave out Best Supporting Actor.”
Ryder also explained to the outlet that she had initiated their “Destination Wedding” collaboration.
“I emailed him,” she said, adding: “I was so happy because he responded.”
During an Entertainment Weekly interview with Reeves in 2018, Ryder revealed that director Francis Ford Coppola had used “a real Romanian priest” for their “Dracula” wedding scene.
“We said yes?” Reeves asked Ryder, who confirmed as much. “Oh my gosh, we’re married,” he joked.
The Romanian nuptials presumably didn’t hold, however, as Reeves and Ryder have both pursued various other romantic interests over the years.
They’re each currently in relationships with other people: Reeves has been dating artist Alexandra Grant since 2019, and Ryder’s longtime partner is fashion designer Scott Mackinlay Hahn. However, neither actor has ever tied the knot — except, of course, (potentially) with each other.
