NFL Draft: Top WRs Tate, Tyson

0:00On April 22nd, two top wide receivers of turning heads for the 2026 NFL draft, Karnel Tate from Ohio State and Jordan Tyson from, Arizona State, scouts around the league ranked Tyson as the number one guy and Tate right behind at number two on the latest bigboard. They're both explosive playmakers, but teams see them in different lights heading into draft week. League execs break it down like this. Tyson's got that all around game, with great body control, he shakes tackles and pulls off big plays. Tate shines as a smooth, athletic dude who runs precise long routes. One scout even called Tyson a lighter version of Viking star Justin Jefferson, just not quite as deadly after the catch. Most teams lean toward Tate because he feels like lower risk with no major injury flags. Meanwhile, Tyson's bounce back strong from a brutal knee injury back in his Colorado days, tearing his ACL, MCL, and PCL as a freshman. He still posted monster numbers at Arizona State, like 75 catches for 1,101 yards and 10 touchdowns in 20.

1:0424. Tate held it down too, racking up 875 yards and 9 scores with a 17.2 average per grab for the Buckeyes last year. He dealt with some hamstring tweaks but played through in 9 games, grabbing 61 balls for 711 yards and 8 touchdowns. The New York Giants could snag one at the number 5 overall pick and the first round kicks off Thursday at 8pm Eastern Time Eyes will be. Locked on these two as the board shakes out.
