I love how Ben is Top 5 in a ton of categories but isn't even near a Top 5 RB list by Mayock or McShay.

dexter is a game changing home run kinda player
tate is not IMO...not implying that tate won't be a very good NFL player, because he will, just think dexter can be used in many different ways, even with his size issue
haven't looked at projections but I think Dexter would be projected higher because of those things

IMO, Reggie Bush may have killed that mindset. He was the ultimate 'homerun threat' coming out of college, he's been less than spectacular in the NFL.
Tate has the prototypical NFL RB body. He's fast and strong and much bigger than DM. Tate is more valuable IMO

Dexter has more raw talent but is pigeon holed by his size. He is not an every down back in the NFL, heck he wasn't one in the SEC. He'll be a hybrid role in the NFL, punt returner, change of pace back but Tate is a workhorse back he's always been that way. I'm not saying who will go higher but that will come down to needs.

Dex pressed 20.

then your opinion would be wrong, most teams value a player who can:
return kicks
return punts
run the ball inside & out
catch the ball out of the backfield
all which Dex does at a high level
bring this thread back when Dex is drafter higher
eta: and this is a true unbiased view as I dislike both the Rebs and Beagles equally

Tate was also tied for 1st on the broad jump, tied for 1st on bench press, 2nd on vertical jump, and i guess he is faster than McCluster.
Tate.
Tate.

scott went 4.72 & 4.67 and I'd guess he'll still go 3/4th round, just like Dixon
I'd take Dixon every day of the week over Charles Scott.
