With the 2026 NFL Draft now less than a month away, the Tennessee Titans' draft plans are as hazy and unclear as ever. Second-year general manager Mike Borgonzi and his new head coach, Robert Saleh, have kept their cards close to the chest thus far.
However, no matter how tight-lipped the organization, a rough outline of the top picks will always emerge. National draft media has primarily tied Tennessee to the premier edge rushers at the top of the draft, as well as Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love at fourth-overall. While these fits seem plausible, there is one clear match for the Titans at No. 4 that has been almost completely ignored in the news cycle.
Even after adding free agent receiver Wan’Dale Robinson and restructuring Calvin Ridley’s deal to keep him around, the Titans’ receiver room is still surrounded by question marks. With rookie receivers Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike both showing promise but still remaining developmental pieces, Robinson projecting primarily as a slot option and Ridley aging and returning from a significant lower-body injury, the receiving corps still has a glaring lack of a boundary-winning, primary option.
Ohio State receiver Carnell Tate can inject exactly that into Tennessee’s offense, and the Titans are in prime position to select him.
