Titans tab Ohio State WR fourth in latest mock. Video

What happened: ESPN's latest 2026 NFL mock draft has the Tennessee Titans selecting Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate with the fourth overall pick. Tate, a top prospect known for his speed and production, addresses Tennessee's need for a dynamic playmaker. The projection aligns with Titans' poor 2025 passing attack.

Why it matters: Titans ranked 25th in passing yards last season, lacking a WR1 to support their QB. Tate's addition could boost .5 and elevate playoff chances. High-drafted WRs like him often produce 800+ yards as rookies.

By the numbers: Tate 2025 stats: 68 rec, 1,147 yds, 12 TD (Ohio State). Titans 2025 passing: 3,450 yds (25th). Titans WR1 need: yes per x_search.

What to watch: Monitor Titans' final draft slot post-lottery and Tate's pre-draft interviews.
