He ran a 4.36 and 4.37.....for a guy with productive hands and good precise routes....he just increased his value.

He's a little small, but, he's bigger than Steve Smith.

he could be a great pick-up if we wanted to trade down to 15th or 16th.

he dropped 3 in a row.

dont worry about that, just look at his body of work (rarely drops balls in the game). THe guy is the total package and now I am convinced that we should take him at #12.

Ford looks tempting. He played for a team that ran a lot and passed to their backs a lot....so he could be under-rated for sure.

I agree that Tate's body of work makes him a solid choice. not sure about 12th overall though.

There are a lot of fast WR's who are going to be there for our 2nd round pick. I would say no more than 3 will be taken in the 1st round.

Clemson's offense is all bubble screens and other types of screens.

Ford can't run routes. He has speed but thats all he has. He will be a BUST on the NFL Level

I saw notre dame games and this guy is a star..i said it all along and say it again, We need this guy

true but what I really like about him is that he can block and is very scrappy. He would make a great#2 in that he can move the sticks with the bonus of having the speed to get verticle. I personally expected him to time somewhere in the 4.5's so I am surprised. I do agree that an early first is a bit much to spend on an undersized wr but if we did on him or dez I would not be mad...

CARLTON MITCHELL = size speed and I like what I've seen. Mid round selection too!

ARRELIOUS BEEN looked outstanding imho.

GILYARD putting up 20 reps at his size SHOWS ALOT.

point well taken, however I still like him since he is a football player. Is hines ward a #1 or a #2? would you take hines ward coming out of college? I think tate and hines are very similar however I dont look at hines as a #1 since he cant stretch the field, I look at hines and tate as a do it all kind of guys. Wr that only play the position because they are too small to be a linebacker or a full back but have that same killer mentality.

Tate reminds me a lot of of Hines Ward & Welker

As Realist stated there will be quite a few available in the 2nd & 3rd, finding the sleeper is the job of the Phin braintrust. Bryant & Tate might be the only ones to go in round 1


Gilyard, Lafell, Benn will be there in the second


Andre Roberts , Shipley, Demaryius Thomas in the 3rd & 4th

Guys like Riley Coper, Shay Hodge, Jeremy Williams Carlton Mitchell, Jacaoby Ford, Stephen Williams, Naaman Rooselvet 5-7th

good breakdown.

Obviously Free Agency will impact the draft. I think we will sign Dansby and will acquire a WR ( Boldin, Bryant, Chamber, Johnson?).


I could see us going NT in round 1, and then taking a WR in the 2nd round.

I think NT are deep this year i would pass and get on in the second. Dont mean to ride the tate bandwagon just curious what avaialbe players people would take over tate (not includine Bryant ofcourse)
