Every NFL Team’s Best Draft Pick of All-Time

Kansas City Chiefs. Tony Gonzalez. 16. player. 124. <p>The Chiefs presented another tough call for the best draft pick of all time. Derrick Thomas is in the Hall of Fame as one of the best pass rushers of all-time and spent all 11 years in Kansas City, but I went with a future Hall of Famer in Tony Gonzalez who played 12 of 17 seasons with the Chiefs.</p> <p>Gonzalez was the No. 13 pick in 1997 and ushered in a new era of athletic tight ends who were glorified receivers as opposed to a sixth offensive lineman as many teams wanted from the position.</p> <p>During his 12 years with the Chiefs, Gonzalez had 916 receptions, 10,940 yards and 76 touchdowns. Four times he had more than 1,000 yards and he led the NFL in receptions with a career-high 102 in 2004.</p> <p>He didn’t have much playoff success with a 1-6 record in five appearances, but the former college basketball player at Cal, Gonzalez revolutionized the position and retired with 1,325 receptions, trailing only Jerry Rice for the most all-time. His 15,257 yards rank fifth and his 111 touchdowns rank sixth all-time and is arguably the greatest tight end in NFL history.</p>. TE
