Prospects Comments
NFL - Tate's speed and quickness limitations could make finding an NFL role for him challenging if he's unable to create enough separation for quarterbacks to target him. What he does have going for him is that he can catch through contact and has very good ball skills -- especially near the endzone. Tate's toughness and willingness to play through a shoulder injury this year will stand out to teams. Tate will be targeted by teams looking for a matchup weapon with value as a zone beater and red zone target.
CBS - Amazing movement ability and suddeness for a 6-foot-5 wideout. Often made highlight-reel catches at Florida State. Production was limited mainly due to below-average quarterback play in 2017. Possesses all the components to be a No. 1 wideout on the outside.
DLF - PROJECTED RANGE FOR ROOKIE DRAFTS Tate currently holds a 27.00 Rookie ADP, making him an early third-round pick in rookie drafts. Considering his talent and draft capital, this is a palatable price tag to pay for his services. It might feel a little much, but from a pure talent perspective, you’re not going to get many players as talented as he is in the mid-late rounds of rookie drafts.
