From the episode
I projected him talent wise as like a high end number two, maybe low end number one in the league... I don't think he is going to transform Cam Ward like people hope that he will. I think his best quality is he doesn't drop the ball. He's reliable.
STACKED’s take
Tate at 4OA: reliable high-end 2, not elite separator; Keenan Allen comp.
Drafted 4th overall by the Titans. The source projects him as a high-end number two or low-end number one receiver talent-wise, but does not see him in the tier of elite separators like Jamar Chase or Jeremiah Smith. His best quality is reliability and not dropping the ball; he gets to the spots needed but lacks the separation ability to beat man coverage consistently against NFL corners. The source's best-case comparison is late-career Keenan Allen—a consistent, reliable threat using size at the catch point rather than elite separation. The source doesn't hate the pick given the draft class talent level and Titans' need, but believes he won't transform Cam Ward as some hope.
