Yes, I agree with you had he packed on even more weight he would have been even slower than he was, but I think he still could have contributed in the passing game.

Remember, Kyle Rudolph ran a 4.83 and had some solid seasons across a 12 year career.
Payne Durham, who many liked this past draft as a blocking guy who could make some catches and act as a TE2-type, ran a 4.87.

Your chain mover types are also typically plus blockers.  Tate was never going to be a plus blocker, so there was no reason to convert him.  

I got so tired of the comparisons for Tate based on 40 time back when he was a hot topic.  Auden Tate isn't Kyle Rudolph, Anquan Boldin, or Jerry Rice.  He is Auden Tate.  He's a guy that made a few spectacular grabs and managed to hang onto the back end of an NFL roster for 4 years.  And honestly, there's nothing wrong with that.  What he accomplished still puts him in the top .001% of people to ever play football.  But there was no great what if with him.
