Despite first-round draft capital and likely entering the season as the Titans' WR1, Tate faces significant headwinds. Cam Ward ranked 24th among 25 QBs (min. 300 pass attempts) in catchable pass rate (75 percent) last season, and his 23.9 percent pressure-to-sack rate ranked third-highest, as he took far too many drive-killing sacks to lead to sustained offensive success, which inevitably hurts the upside of pass-catchers. Tate also has to compete with Wan'Dale Robinson for targets, further complicating his case for a strong rookie season.

Tate is a No. 4 overall skill player going in the seventh round, which is rare in today's receiver-obsessed drafting environment. The Titans have dramatically upgraded their skill corps and coaching staff, but it's still unproven at best and undermanned at worst. Unlike Jeremiyah Love, there are production question marks: Tate is the rare top-five receiver who never had a 1,000-yard season in college and was never even the best wideout on his own team. He's not as proven as you would expect from his draft capital. But he has that draft capital because he's a size/speed prospect who is a big-play machine down the field. Cam Ward shined at Miami but didn't have the horses as a rookie. Ward/Tate could become an instant mid-rounds success story or remain young players struggling in a bad offense. Currently the WR30, Tate could finish inside the top 20 or outside the top 50. That's the kind of variance that can decide fates.
