Was just listening to an interview with him on sports 910 in Arizona on my way home today. They asked him what teams he dreams of playing for. Most guys won't even answer that but he said Miami and Tampa bay then Tenn. (he is from tenn.) and then chicago because of all the Notre Dame alumni there. Doesn't mean anything I know that just sharing it anyway since we were his number 1
 
cool, doesnt mean much, its not like college recruiting, prospects have absolutely no choice in where they go. maybe we trade down for him? or have him mess up his 40 so he can go to us in the 2nd? :lol:
 
yeah I said it doesn't mean much just sharing what he said ...thats all
 
who cares.

I want nothing to do with him in the 1st round.
 
I also heard th inteview....I think he liked the Phins and Bucs growing up, and he also is a Bear's fan. I would love to have him on the Phins but #12 is too high for him and he will be gone by the 2nd round.
 
If he's picked as low as projected, it won't take many years before it's obvious he should have been nabbed sooner. Tate made Jimmy Clausen look better than he is on many plays. The guy is a relentless pinball who makes terrific adjustments, won't allow anyone to out fight him for the ball, and finds the end zone no matter what method is required, moves or acceleration. I don't understand why he isn't more appreciated. You don't find many receivers with that type of Steve Smith/Hines Ward wiry frame and attitude.

i agree that he made Clausen Better but if you are arguing that he should be drafted higher because he is like Hines Ward i would disagree Ward is a good player but not a first round player Steve Smith on the other hand would be great

My summary would be that Tate plays smaller and shorter than his size on the majority of plays, other than jump ball situations where he's suddenly 6-2. Tough call where to draft him. I'm not saying we should, not on a run oriented team at #12.

I think Tate can be awesome as a slot or inside terror on a sophisticated pass oriented team. A guy with those skills can turn the critical red zone possessions into TDs and not FG attempts.

Or in the 2nd for that matter. The guy will be a slot WR at the next level, something we have plenty of. He isn't even the best WR prospect on his team.

Michael Floyd >>> Golden Tate.
 
No way is Floyd better than Tate... I live in Chicago and unfortunately ND was on TV every saturday and I watched almost every game. I HATE ND, but I LOVE Tate's game. As others have said, late first or with our second, sure, but again, echoing someone else, we have enough slot wr's.
