I would love Tate with 2a, but I have my doubts he's still there.

When guys rainbow long balls it means they have weak arms, Pennington rainbows it, Leinart did it in college, when a guy throws the rainbow it generally means his arm is weak.

Johnson shouldn't be on there he ran track in college but all of those other guys ran blah 40's and aren't blazing fast.

Arm strength doesn't come into play on deep balls nearly as much as it comes into play on digs and outs. Deep balls are more about timing and touch.

The truth to the matter is Cassel just has no accuracy and the further he gets downfield the worse it gets.

Especially after running two 4.36 forties today.

Some one will take him early.

Tate's 40 is much better than the speed he plays at, it might elevate him some but his height is still questionable.

Do you still see him falling to the top of the 2nd?

If he's there.....I'd take him in a heartbeat.

No doubt.

I was just curious about Mecca's opinion.

And no, I wasn't trying to start an argument, I truly appreciate his opinions.

He might, last I heard some teams are viewing Tate as a slot WR and not a guy who plays outside.

Could you imagine Clausen throwing to Tate, Floyd, Bowe and Charles in 2011?

Can I get a hell yeah?

So HE could be our black Welker. To the SHIP!!!

Also Tate has 14% bodyfat, that's high for an NFL WR.

I think that sounds about right. I see Tate as a Deion Branch type guy. A guy who probably wouldn't be considered a primary option on most offenses, but could in a Weis system. In his system, it's good to have a guy who runs good routes to get the underneath stuff and has the ability to threaten by stretching the field. They don't throw deep a lot, but Weis likes to have a deep threat to keep defenses honest.

I'd be shocked if the Chiefs passed on him if he was available at 2a.

That's my point. None of those guys are speed receivers, but they are/were all clear number 1 receivers. Boldin was a #1 for 3 seasons, and he had 1300+ yards in two of them and only played 10 games in the other. If he's not a #1, someone should have told him. Maybe Jeff Blake and Josh McCown just made him look good. Perhaps Freddie Jones and Bryant Johnson drew the attention of the defense on the other side of the field thus freeing up Boldin. Maybe though, just maybe, he was a legit #1 on a team with an even worse QB than the Chiefs have and an even worse option on the other side of the field than Dwayne Bowe.
