From the episode

I'm also just huge concerns for me personally on, on Carnell Tate. I'm also, again, similar to the Jonathan Brooks case. It's like the team environment is very concerning to me too.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBust

Tate is a fade due to poor team context, bad offensive line, and weak prospect profile.

Michael Leone is out on Carnell Tate due to a poor prospect profile, including a career target-per-route-run rate below 20%, and a concerning team environment. The team has the worst offensive line in the NFL, uncertain quarterback play from Cam Ward, and a low team total, making it difficult for Tate to reach his ceiling even if he earns targets.
