That's why I like bringing him into the conversation. I get the feeling that "we" feel as if we understand the proper pecking order for the prospects. We can see various web sites and spot trends that say where a particular player should be drafted. However, it only takes one team to mess things up with a "minority opinion' and grab a player you wanted late in the draft.
Currently, I'd say that I have Ben Tate rated higher than any website out there. In mock drafts, I consistently drafted him in the 3rd and 4th rounds. However, after his Combine showing, I'm pretty sure that I'll have to draft him in the 2nd if I want to get him. So, I've moved him up my board to reflect that. Right now, there on NFLDraftScout.com has Anthony Dixon #58, Toby Gerhart #73, Joe McKnight #82, Montario Hardesty #93, and Ben Tate #116. Draftnasty has Tate ranked #44 with only Mathews, Spiller, and Best ranked ahead of him.
