24. Golden Tate, WR 

Tate ended up in Philadelphia after the Detroit Lions traded the one-time Pro Bowler to the Eagles for a 2019 third-round pick. Tate’s impact in Philadelphia’s wide receiver group was minimal, (besides catching the game-winning touchdown in the Wild Card round of the playoffs against the Chicago Bears), but the 30-year-old receiver still has a lot to offer a team.

Tate is known for his ability to rack up yards after the catch and is one of the best receivers in the league in that category. He had a down year with 441 yards after catch in 2018 after posting back-to-back seasons of over 600 yards in that category from 2016-2017.

Teams like the New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens, or Tennessee Titans could benefit from his skill set the most, though the nine-year veteran hopes to stay with the Eagles.
