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.

    • I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches. 
    • At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
    • 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.
