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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
