Episode notes
Carnell Tate Is A Pro Ready Boundary X
- Carnell Tate is a polished boundary X who excels as a vertical stem and contested-catch specialist.
- Matt Harmon notes Tate had no drops in his RP sample, 91.7% contested catch rate and elite man-coverage success, making him pro-ready.
Draft Tate For Boundary Downfield Value Not Slot Volume
- Use Tate as a boundary number-two who can beat man coverage rather than forcing him into heavy slot/zone responsibilities.
- Matt suggests Tate fits every NFL offense but thrives when paired with a movement-heavy WR1 that frees him on the boundary.
Tate's Zone Limitations Stem From Role And Route Tree
- Tate's weakness is zone recognition and a very vertical route tree that depresses zone success rates.
- James Koh and Matt highlight a 76.5% zone success rate (32nd percentile) partially explained by his outside-only usage.
