Carnell Tate: Giants' Draft Target for Jaxon Dart

0:00It's April 7th, I'm Cory with the story, and this is NFL News Today, your AI-powered football briefing. Giants quarterback, Jackson Dart, took over a starter four weeks into last season after Russell Wilson win zero and three. But his passing game struggled without reliable targets, especially after Malik neighbors tore his ACL in Dart's debut and Slotman Wandel Robinson, bolted to the Titans in free agency. The team added Titan Isaiah likely, plus receivers Calvin Austin and Darno Mooney this offseason to build depth. Head coach John Harbaugh wants a high scoring attack in Dart's second year, but questions linger if that's enough firepower. Neighbors should return healthy by 2026, though maybe not week one, that leaves slimmer options like Darius Layton and Mooney outside, with Austin or likely inside. Another Ohio State's Carnell Tate, a six foot three playmaker with 51 catches, 875 yards, nine touchdowns, and zero drops.

1:00Last season, Tate shines and contested catches, nailing 12 of 14 targets at 85.7%, and averages 17.2 yards per grab. His route running stretches defenses, but he lacks after the catch-pop with just 198 yards, and the Giants might need more slot. With the draft three weeks out at pick number five, Buzz has shifted toward linebacker sunny styles, or running back Jeremiah Love. Still, if those guys go early, Tate slots in as a safe number two opposite neighbors, giving Dart the weapons to finally light it up.
