Strengths Weaknesses

STRENGTHS: Chiseled frame that was more impressive than higher-profile names also at the Senior Bowl. Size/speed combination along with his hand/eye coordination and body control makes him an attractive prospect, showing the ability to make plays at all levels of the field and do damage after the catch.

Balanced route-runner with a sizeable catching radius. Size allowed him to be moved inside and out in Vandy's offense, allowing the team to find him favorable matchups. Detailed and reliable route-runner. Very good hand-eye coordination to haul in tough passes, including one-handed catches.

WEAKNESSES: Good, but not great build-up speed and may lack an elite second gear to gain separation. Lean-muscled and needs to do more in contested situations.

Compares To: Earl Bennett, Bears ? Matthews joins Bennett as potentially the best receivers Vanderbilt has produced to the NFL in years. Matthews is two inches taller than Bennett, but share a similar concern about whether he lacks the straight-line speed to consistently beat NFL cornerbacks.

Player OverviewA very productive target, the cousin of legendary Jerry Rice is an impressive prospect because of his athleticism, catching radius and determination with the ball in his hands. With a combined 201 receptions the past two seasons, Matthews became the first Commodores wide receiver to earn first team All-SEC honors from the coaches in consecutive seasons and in the process emerged as the clear-cut top senior wide receiver in this draft class.

He was invited to the Senior Bowl, where he sported a good frame with long arms (32 5/8 inches) and big hands, but he dropped a handful of passes throughout the week of practice and failed to consistently gain separation from cornerbacks.

SOLD!!

So when do you advocate signing Nate Montana?

Is now too soon? :D

If Lee falls to us we're taking him

If Mosley fell to us, I think Dorsey would take him in a heartbeat. I believe him when he says he's taking the BPA.

I'd be desperately trying to trade down...even if it meant dropping into the second round.

My dream scenario if the board falls like this is to move down 8-10 slots while adding a 2 and a few mid to late rounders this year.

Because of the talent pool in this class, that would be an amazing haul.

I went with Tuitt, but I almost picked Jordan. I figured we're more likely to find a decent WR later in the draft than a decent DE. If ILB was a bigger need and if Alabama players didn't scare me, I might have gone for Mosley.

Dream is right. The 23rd overall is not worth a 2cd and a FEW other picks.

That depends on what rounds those other picks come from.

A second to go along with a 5th and 6th would be a big time haul.

Those 4th-7th round picks this year all carry over a full round premium due to the depth of the class.

There are almost 200 players with a 3rd round or higher grade in this class.

Cooks or Jimmie Ward.. but since only one is an option here..

Jace Amaro, too many game changing abilities to pass up on.

Dee Ford or Stephon Tuitt.

If we can't move down, I'm taking Amaro with Lee and Cooks tied for a very close second.

Trade down for an early 2nd, pick up Moncrief. Switch 3rd round picks and gain a 5th rounder.

If we're able to maintain the OL, then pick up Mathews with that early 3rd. If not OL...Joel Bitonio?? Jack Mewhort??

I'd go with TE Jace Amaro, Texas Tech. A good TE in this offense would provide immediate positive results. I think you would see the results quicker going with TE than WR. The guy I want is Ebron from NC, but no way he'll be there when the Chiefs pick. He reminds me of a young Tony Gates - virtually uncoverable.
