Auden Tate: Where to play him

[grampahol]

For all the love Tate gets here he's never going to suddenly become some kind of speedster so his ability to do things he really can't do are always going to be limited.
On many teams he would be a non-factor, but this season in particular he found success mainly because he can catch the ball and contest a lot of them with his size and strength and because we were missing both Green and Ross for significant parts of the season. Green for all of it.. If both Green and Ross had been perfectly healthy and producing all season there would have likely been very little notice of Tate at all. He stepped in in their absences and made a bit of a name for himself, but let's not pretend he was ever in the running for the preeminent WR of the league or anything close. It would take an act of congress and god himself for Tate to ever gain 1000 yards in a single season.
Don't get me wrong, I like the guy for what he brings to the table, but he's also easily replaceable if the team can find a few really good receivers in the draft or god forbid, free agency.
