Titans Draft Carnell Tate: Boosting Ward's Passing Game

About this episode

Tennessee Titans draft Ohio States Carnell Tate, a 62, 192-pound wide receiver, to bolster their weak passing game and pair with quarterback Cam Ward. Tate, who had 48 catches for 838 yards and 9 TDs last season, is expected to boost the offense and unlock all levels of the field if Ward improves accuracy. The Titans still need help at edge, guard, center, and defensive back, but Tates possession skills and potential with Ward signal brighter days ahead.

On April 24th, the Tennessee Titans grabbed wide receiver Carnell Tate from Ohio State, with the fourth pick in the 2026 NFL draft on April 23rd in Pittsburgh. At 6'2 and 192 pounds, this Buckeye star brings serious talents a pair with quarterback Cam Ward. Aiming to fix the Titans' wheat passing game. Tate comes from Ohio State's receiver factory that's pumped out stars like Chris Olave, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Garrett Wilson. Last year, he hauled in 48 catches for 838 yards and 9 touchdowns, even while sharing targets with top prospects. Fans and analysts are buzzing because Ward struggled as a rookie, ranking near the bottom in yards per attempt, and passer rating without a real number. One option. Tate steps in to boost that offense, joining Calvin Ridley and Wandel Robinson for a solid starting trio right away. This pick bumps second year guys like Kymaray Dyke into deeper roles, and with Ridley recovering from injury, Tate's possession skills could unlock.

All levels of the field, if Ward improves his accuracy. Titans still have 9 picks left, including the 35th overall in Round 2, and needs at Edge, Guard, Center, and Defensive Back after another. Three and 14 season. Betting on Tate means building a long-term duo with Ward, setting up brighter days ahead. RRF's NFL News Today brought to you with AI. I'm Corey with The Story.
