Jaelen Strong (Arizona)

With the 22nd pick of the NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs select Jaelen Strong from the Arizona State Sun Devils. Whether if the Chiefs decide to keep receiver Dwayne Bowe or not, Jaelen Strong would be the ideal pick for the team. Bowe has been way to up-and-down to be the go-to guy and Strong could be that guy that quarterback Alex Smith trusts.

Smith just might be willing to take more risks down the field with a guy that can go up and get it like Strong can. The Chiefs seem to have everything else with their running game and defense so a No. 1 receiver could really put them over the top. If Bowe stays, he could start making plays more consistently as Strong takes some of the attention away, really opening the passing game up.
