Carnell Tate Likely the Safest Rookie Receiver in This Year's Class
Ohio State prospect Carnell Tate is expected to be the first wide receiver selected in this week's NFL Draft, and that will likely be the case in many rookie drafts as well. He is a long boundary receiver who moves smoothly and tracks the ball as well as any player in this class, but he has never been the Alpha in his own offense, and his NFL ceiling could top out as a high-end WR2. His physical profile has no glaring weaknesses, but his career target share at Ohio State is historically low for a player of his expected draft capital. Jordyn Tyson may have more pure upside, but his health and durability are legitimate concerns, while Makai Lemon could be the most consistent target-earner, but he projects to see most of his usage out of the slot. The NFL will soon tell us how they feel about these three prospects, and for dynasty rookie drafters picking in the wake of Jeremiyah Love's obvious 1.01 selection, the decision could come down to landing spot, personal preference, and risk tolerance.
