I'm going with Mathews. He is one of the best route runners in the class and he catches everything. What he did at Vanderbilt was incredible. He was their entire offense. Despite teams game planning for him every week, he still led the SEC in receiving (112 receptions / 1,477 yards). Those numbers are better than Evans, Beckham Jr., Landry and Moncrief. If Beckham is gone he is the guy I want.
I like Cooks after Mathews. Cooks just isn't very strong. Check out DraftBreakdown.com and watch the Oregon game. He struggles if he is bumped at the line. He is a terrible run blocker. Most importantly he gets the ball knocked out of his hands way to much. He catches the ball with his hands but this happens in every game. He seems very weak to me. NFL corners are going to swat the ball as it's caught at least half the time. I still like him but I think he will be a slot receiver.
I like Lee but am sick of the drops. We've been living with far to many drops for about 10 years now. We need someone who can catch.
I can't see the Chiefs drafting a tight end in the first round. The league currently has 13 tight ends that you could consider play makers. They aren't easy to find at all. I don't see any of these guys being a playmaker at the next level. Also, Reid has never really valued TEs. It's his offense and I don't think he is going to cater to Alex Smith. All three TEs we have now are in the mold of what he had in Philadelphia over the years. Same goes for Dorsey. I don't see him placing a big value on TEs either. Green Bay hasn't had a really good one since Chumura and that was long before Dorsey was there.
