Rams Eye Carnell Tate for Deep Threat

0:00On April 1st, Mock Draser buzzing with the Los Angeles Rams, eyeing Ohio State wide receiver Carnot Tate in the first round of the 20, 26 NFL Draft. Outlets like the Athletic and CBS Sports project them grabbing him around the 13th pick, or even trading up since he's expected to go higher. It had marked the first time GM Lest Need Draser receiver that early since Tave on Austin back in 2013. It's a deep thread beast at 6 foot 2 and 192 pounds. Last season, he led the Big Ten with six touchdowns on passes over 20 yards, plus 453 yards, and an 85.7 percent catch rate on contested balls. Scouts rave about his speed burst, route savvy, and knack for winning 50-50 jumps, tracking the ball like a pro. Rams fans feel devoid after 2-2 at well bolted to Miami in free agency. He was their top-dead guy, but got sidelined by injuries and schemeships, leaving no one to stretch defenses.

1:01Tate's go routes, his bread and butter at Ohio State would clear space for Sean McVeigh's digs and crossers, pairing perfect with Matthew Stafford. Comparison stack up to studs like Terry McClore and Chris Olave, both Buckeye products who feast down field, but Tate's taller with an even higher. Sealing per analysts, minor flaws like his 4.5-340 time, don't face folks, it's coachable, and he's already WR-1 consensus. Still, USC's McCye Limon pops up more in Rams' mocks. If Tate slides or the Rams pounce early, he could turbo charge that offense right now, and long term. Keep watching those boards. This kid's playmaking vibe might just land in LA.
