Titans Eye Carnell Tate for Top Pick

0:00On March 6, the Tennessee Titans headed into the NFL Scouting Combine, focused on ranking the top-edge rushers for the 2026 draft, like Arvel Reese, David Bailey, and Rubin Vane. But they're casting a wider net, showing strong interest in Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate as a potential fourth overall pick. Tate stands out as a smooth, deep threat who can stretch defenses even if his stats aren't flashy. His 4.5, 440 yard dash time at the Combine confirmed he can win with speed downfield, though he lacks that quick burst after the catch for big yards after reception plays. Fans desperate to build around quarterback Cam Ward. Love the idea of adding Tate as a weapon right away. General manager Mike Borgonzi favors premium positions like wide receiver, making this a smart fit if the Titans want to boost their passing game early. With free agency rumors heating up, the team might grab edge rushers or cornerbacks on the open market instead.

1:00That could free up their top pick for Tate, followed by value grabs on day 2 and 3. Edge remains the top priority at number 4, yet Tate's playmaking upside has everyone buzzing about pairing him with Ward for the long haul.
