The Tennessee Titans have a clear plan for wide receiver Carnell Tate. The Titans surprised the league by drafting Ohio State wide receiver Tate with the fourth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Assistant general manager Dave Ziegler said at a post-draft press conference on April 27 that Tate is a complete receiver and was a no-brainer decision for them come draft night.

“What you’re looking for almost anytime you’re making a pick is, you want to have a consensus as an organization on what the vision for the player is and how they fit, whether it be into your offense, or into your defense, and what that looks like,” Ziegler said.
