watch a notre dame game then tell me he isnt a number 1... like when he went up and grabbed a pass with three defenders around him? how about when he takes the ball to the house over 15 times in a season. The guy dominated at the college ranks, and now is going into the draft with dominating skills. steve smith is a number one for the panthers, why isnt golden tate? oh, and we already drafted our big recievers in hartline and turner. How did that work out for us?
I want golden tate! He was made for this team.....

Something about Tate just doesn't sit right with me and I don't know what it is. It might be that year after year we get burned by huge athletic receivers and that's what I want us to have and Tate certainly doesn't fit that description. I just don't see him being dominant but I can't really say why
Watch this video and tell me if he doesn't play fast.

Tate is only 5'10", but solid at 199 lbs and did 17 reps on the bench so plenty strong for his size. His official combine 40 time was 4.42 and to me he plays that fast and then some.
If it was true that we had legitimate interest in Percy Harvin last year, I don't know why we would not be interested in this guy. He is a big play threat without the character concerns that came with Harvin.

thank you
just because you can bench 17 reps doesnt mean you are strong, the guy isnt a #1 and will never be, he needs to switch back to rb

thank you

let me clarify my position on tate. he is a good player, looks like a runningback to me and will be a slot wr and will do decent but we have bess who is the same player, we need a #1 not wr who couldnt make it at running back. watch some brandon lafell highlights to see a prototype wr.
nolefin
thank you
he was owning the best cb in the draft, although he did drop some passes his qb doesnt help him.
lafell reminds me of a taller chris chambers.

mediocrity sucks
Still doesn't change my mind one bit. Watch a full game, not a highlight reel. He does not play that fast.

Foget about size.
What the Dolphins need is a player who can CONSISTENTLY:
1. Get open
2. Catch the ball
3. gain additional yards after the catch
4. score touchdowns
I think Tate's 2009 numbers in a Pro Set proves he's capable of doing those things as well or better than anyone in this year's draft
Turner proved that size isn't everything in the NFL. As long as he can get off the line of scrimmage Tate will do well if not great in the NFL. I believe the two tallest guys in last year's draft got into a total of 2 games (Barden and Turner).
Keep your tall receivers and give me WRs that produce and put up big numbers regardless of their size.
Frankly I was not impressed with the bigger Benn. He looked stiff and didn't look good catching or running. Tate will be the #2 receiver going into the draft since Thomas broke his leg.
