Wilson is a much better prospect than Tate, to be fair.  Tate was slow as molasses with a 4.67 40, but refused to play TE.  For another comparison, Higgins ran 4.59 at the Combine.  

I think Wilson will probably be used as a hybrid between an outside X WR and a move TE(similar to how Hudson was used last year).  I think that versatility and blocking opens things up to create a lot of mismatches.  

Ironically, I saw the other day that Tate had signed with a CFL team after spending the last couple of years on various Practice Squads. Kind of funny after his agent was crying in the media about the Bengals being unable to take advantage of his "unique talents" while he was here.
