ACL.
Maybe we can get him in the 6th round now?
He's the best KR-PR in the country which we need now that Royal won't be doing that stuff anymore and a decent WR prospect too. I'd be really happy to get him in Round 5 or 6. It's still fairly early in the season, so he should be almost at 100 percent by next year's camp, or if not, probably by halfway into the season.

It would be a good 5th round pick as long as we are not going WR early.

If we can get Tate in 6th that would be a steal.

No way he falls to the 5th or 6th. Teams will look at him and see potential and probably take him no later than the 4th

I don't know. Tate was somewhat of an unknown coming into this year, but was really coming into his own. I don't know if he has a large enough body of work to establish himself as a 4th after the injury. It wouldn't shock me, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the 5th or 6th either.
Even if it did take a 4th, I'd probably take a shot. He could be a nice complement to Marshall and Royal.

i am kinda thinking he could have be kinda like how Royal was drafted. Royal was kinda an unknown due to playing in an offense where the passing game wasn't great and our coaches and scouts saw him and realized his potential and drafted him in the 2nd. Now with Tate's injury he wouldn't go on the 1st day but should go by the 5th at the latest.

Don't get me wrong, he might have been the #1 senior WR, I just don't think he was a "can't-miss" prospect that can rise above this type of injury. Unless he's able to recover and work-out well, I think the injury will hurt him more than a similar player with a longer track record.

Too early to know. He should be healthy enough to fully participate at the combine where he can regain his value, or be a 6th round steal.
