Tate.

Benn is bigger and probably a better run blocker which as we know is important for Carolina WRs. However, Tate is a little fighter. Think Munnerlyn except a higher pick and on offense.

The Smith comparisons are also obvious, and I believe that if he keeps a good work ethic he may improve to be a nice Smith/Welkeresque type threat.

Benn looks like he might be a better option to take consistent advantage of the coverage that Smith gets and a better blocker. However Tate looks like the better playmaker to me. When I see Tate I see alot Steve Smith in him and it kind of makes him too hard to pass up. Plus Tate would be playing the greatest WR ever so naturally Smith will make Tate better. Though Tate does not look as fast as Smitty.

What I'd really like to know is which of the two has the better brain. That would be what really determines this choice for me were I working with/for the FO.

Though without that knowledge I still lean towards Tate... possibly because I'm a noob.

    • Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
    • Crosby will garner a haul in a trade. I would be reluctant to make that trade because of the following: 1. Our overall roster is awful. We cannot afford to be trading away valuable draft capital. 2. He isn't the best fit(IMO) for the scheme that Evero runs.  I love the player but it would really need to be at a reasonable deal and I think he is likely to garner an unreasonable price if he gets traded.
    • In terms of need, EDGE is currently #1. Our pass rush is near league worst levels. However, I don't subscribe to "need" based drafting. BPA all day.  We do need to dramatically upgrade over Scourton, Jones, Wonnum and Umanmielen. That is likely in the running for the NFL's worst two deep. Not saying all those players are bad, but I am saying 100% of those players are 2nd or 3rd stringers.
