Tate's modest athleticism and weak college production don't support No. 1 WR ADP.
Carnell TateTEN
Tate was never the No. 1 WR at Ohio State, finishing as the No. 2 WR last year with just 51-875-9 in 11 games—the least productive first-round WR from Ryan Day's program. He ran a 4.53-second 40-yard dash at only 192 pounds, making him vulnerable to press coverage. His ADP suggests No. 1 WR upside, but he profiles as a No. 2 WR. Landing with the Titans (defensive-minded HC Robert Saleh, uneven rookie QB Cam Ward, target hog Wan'Dale Robinson, and Calvin Ridley) is a poor situation; Tate could be the third-best WR on a bad team.

he has never had a real breakout season. Last year, he was the No. 2 WR for the Buckeyes, and he had just 51-875-9 in 11 games. Of all the first-round WRs to emerge from Ryan Day's program, Tate was easily the least productive in college. A 4.53-second 40-yard dash is modest, especially at only 192 pounds.
