TheChosenTitan Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 2 hours ago, AussieTitanFan08 said: So if Bailey goes #2 to the Jets as Jeremiah just suggested is the way its trending and Reese goes #3 to the Cardinals or the Saints/Cowboys trading up that leaves Borgonzi staring at Love/Styles/Tate if they aren't a Bain team. Trade back if possible at that point TerryBoats, and KogaShuko 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChosenTitan Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 17 minutes ago, AussieTitanFan08 said: Huh what has that got to do with Ward if this news from Jeremiah is accurate it increases the chances pick #4 is either Love or Tate as its likely the top 3 EDGE guys either won't be available or are not considered an option at that spot. We need the Cards to pick that tackle and not trade out or we are fucked Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a joke. Cam was going on to Bain about how we're coming to get him. Just playing into the Tennessee Hurricanes thing. I know he (probably) wasn't being serious.

TeamRamrod Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 (edited) Tate is being sold by some as a guy who doesnt have any elite traits besides his hands and catch point ability but I think he has maybe the most important attribute in spades and that's fluidity. Such a smooth runner on top of how easy it is for him to catch the football. Chasing the guys who just look natural on the field has always served me best during the pre draft process and I see it so clearly with Tate.

TerryBoats Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 (edited) One thing is clear to me : Tate is going to struggle if he's expected to be a WR1 out of the gate. Love will be 10x the player of him as a rookie and is someone who - in the right hands- could really transform the offense.

AussieTitanFan08 Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 On todays Move the Sticks podcast Daniel Jeremiah spent the last 10 minutes updating how he believes certain things are trending after speaking with his many league buddies. - Jermod McCoy is trending to be the first CB selected - Doesn't see Bain going in the top 5 with the likely landing spot between 8-10 - Kadyn Proctor is a very hot name right now likely goes between pick 10-20 - Reaffirmed his belief the Jets are leaning Bailey pick at #2 (this was taped post Schrager mock draft podcast) Supernope 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justafan Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 Ridley, who was taken at the end of the first round, was a better athlete than Tate. He had 3 years of high-level production at Alabama, all of which were better numbers than Tate had at OS in his lone year of good production (still not as good as Ridley was as a freshman). He also did it at Alabama, which ran the ball and played defense as much as anyone. He commanded a 33% target share even with other receivers like Amari Cooper on the team who were elite college talents. Ridley managed to stay healthy as well, another feat that Tate has not been able to accomplish. Some randoms on the internet think Tate's a HOFer, though, because he was able to make some nice catches on some free releases in college, so take him at #4 because he looks smooth! Give me a break. prometheus 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both look so clean and controlled they seem boring. Everything from his release through his break till he sees the ball and attacks it looks as clean and calm as it gets. titanskick8851 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OILERMAN Posted April 7 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 7 On 3/23/2026 at 6:55 PM, OILERMAN said: I've posted before, I think Faulk might be the best RB in history. In that 99 season he had almost 1400 yards rushing, led the league with 5.5 yards per carry and had 87 catches for over 1000 yards. Faulk didn't play in the 4th quarter in 6 games! That's a 3rd of the games! He set the yards from scrimmage all time record that season. Chris Johnson was ran into the ground regardless of the score in every game to break that record! Faulk caught 80 passes or more 5 seasons in a row. He led the league in yards per carry 3 times in a row. 6800+ yards receiving and 9 yards per reception. He's the all time leader in receptions and yards. His rookie debut he played the Oilers. He had 143 yards rushing and 3 TDs. I remember being amazed at how good he was. He's underrated in terms of where he ranks among the all time great RBs. Supernope, titanskick8851, Justafan, and 3 others 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love will be 10x the player of him as a rookie and is someone who - in the right hands- could really transform the offense. While I get the logic here, this is generally true for any rb and wr who are moderately near each other as a prospect. As for him being an X out of the gate, I think most will be suprised how good he is at beating press and double teams. You dont have a ton of it on tape partially because of the defense being shifted to cover Smith and thats understandable. However when teams did try and press him he would torch people. Similarly when a defender does have help over the top he beats his man so quickly and runs his routes in a way to create maximum seperation at the top of his route leading to help not having time to react or cover the distance in time. titanskick8851 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
