Taylor Price vs Brandon Tate
 
Similar to the Patrick Chung thread that was also made, this is another set of players, one that was just drafted and one that was drafted last year.

Between the two of them, who do you think has more of a chance of starting? And who's skill set could potentially bring more to the team? And for those of you who are draft gurus, I think I speak for the majority of people when I say I don't know much about the two players other than Price had two back to back 50 catch seasons, and that Tate was a pretty solid second round pick till he hurt his knee.

Also, if you had to compare each of these players to someone else in the league, who would it be?


Due to Tate's knees, I think it's Price, he has the measurable stats to be a burner, as well as the physicality to make catches over the middle if necessary.

This year, week 1: Tate. Brady seems high on him.

As far as comps go, how about Aromashodu for Tate?

after rewatching Price highlights ... Santana Moss maybe.

Barring injury, neither will be more than a WR4 as we speak.

(More than likely to start Holt, Edelman (slot), Moss )

i don't think any of them will do a whole lot this year.



Brandon Tate = Bethel Johnson, good kick/punt returner who will catch one or two deep balls a year.



Taylor Price, could turn into a David Givens, type guy 60 rec and 700 yerds a year. they are both 6ft 215lbs guys who are faster then they look

Disagree. I think Tate can run routes well. Big question is whether or not he can stay healthy.

Both will be upgrades compared to Sam Aiken, but I'd expect Holt to start over both of them, at least to start the season.

I like Price over Tate, but both have some promising skills. Neither will be the next Randy Moss, but that's okay too.

I hadn't head this. When Brady went out of his way twice to say what I great off-season Tate had, I assumed he was doing okay. Tate's hands are fine. Is he not learning the playbook? Or can't he get open?

He's just guessing. No one knows for sure what Tate is capable of yet.
