Golden Tate not in Mel Kiper or Todd McShay's first round

I don't have a link, because I'm not an ESPN Insider. Im watching First Take and they are interviewing him. They are comparing him to Steve Smith (size, speed, and trash-talking). On to the points of this thread:

1) does anyone have access to this mock draft of Kiper or McShay?

2) Do you agree that Tate won't go in the first round? (not even late?)

DAMN. hes bald and actually resembles Smitty a bit!!!

Guy is really stiff and doesn't play as fast as he ran at the combine. Good talent, but over-hyped right now. He's definitely worth a second though.

Edit: I agree with kp30 below. I think someone will reach and he'll go late 1st.

I believe he'll go in the 1st round to the Jets(#29 overall. Braylon Edwards is bad.)

However, if he somehow falls to the 2nd round there are several teams that will be there to grab him early before us(Patriots, Seahawks, Bucs, etc.)

Smitty can fix that with a punch...;)

There's a lot of solid WR help in the draft this year. Personally, I don't think so. Not for a #2 WR.

I agree and disagree. I agree that we shouldn't trade a first to move up and get him, however, if there is someway that we could maneuver up w/o using a first rounder im all for it. in addition, I think Tate has the potential to be #1. Smitty will be 31 this year. we have a really good receivers coach. idk maybe im just too optimistic :confused:

If he's available at the top of the 2nd, would he be worth trading next year's first rounder to move up?

I believe Chiefs have more than one 2nd round pick. Wouldn't have to trade a 1st for a high 2nd I don't think. Hurney pretty much stated.. he's open to getting more picks.

on NFL network last night he was listed as Mayocks #4 WR, behind bryant, Benn and someone else. i was a little suprised and excited. maybe he will last, but too many teams ahead of us in the 2nd need a WR

You don't know how much I hope that he falls. He could very well be a seconding coming of Steve Smith. difference is, Tate has alot more fame coming into this draft. but I love that he has a chip on his shoulder, and he could learn a whole lot from Smith.

I'm almost positive someone takes Tate before Benn. I think he goes as the #2 WR after Bryant or the #3 after Thomas.

agreed. draft grades dont always add up to draft selection order. i was a little suprised to see Benn so high. plus Tate has that "big" play ability upside that a lot of teams are looking for this year. so his stock will be higher than some other guys that grade out slightly better than him.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
