Not much. I have the exact same grade on them.
I think the Chiefs like Ebron more, because I'm going on Dorsey's trends from 2013 draft (admittedly a small sample): he prefers athletes the Chiefs can coach up, rather than readymade talent with less impressive measurables. And to be fair, I think that's generally the NFL's preference anyway, with very few exceptions.
I think that makes Ebron more highly sought. He really does have fantastic speed and I think his arms will measure as longer -- just a guess there. When he blows up the Combine, I think he'll project to the teens.
Amaro is very impressive compared to most other TEs, but he's coming out in a year with two freaks -- Ebron and Seferian-Jenkins. But I think that means he has a better chance of being great value for a team lucky enough for him to fall to.
Amaro, however, is a wonderful route-runner. Great hands, but the route-running is what really, really stands out to me. You cannot go wrong with Amaro, but again, Ebron gives you a higher ceiling.
Gun to my head, I guess I'd go with Ebron. I'm also higher on Seferian-Jenkins than most, too, however. I currently have him about equal to these two guys.
