Browns NFL Draft: Longtime media member calls Carnell Tate top WR
Longtime NFL media member Greg Cosell says that despite his flaws, Browns target Carnell Tate is still the No. 1 WR option in the NFL Draft
The Cleveland Browns have a massive need to fill at wide receiver, and they could just reach down to Ohio State in the 2026 NFL Draft and select Carnell Tate. NFL media legend Greg Cosell has been evaluating players in the NFL for over 46 years. He has seen thousands upon thousands of players take the field, so he has an eye for talent.
According to Cosell , Browns' potential draft target Tate is still his number one wide receiver, despite the perceived flaws in his game. Tate's tape is incredible. He is one of the best pure wide receivers in all of college football, and he got that title thanks to an incredibly diverse set of skills.
Tate is a route technician; he wins with his football IQ, his leverage, the way he sets up his moves, and then he catches everything that is thrown his way. He is a special talent, and because of that, his slower 40-yard dash shouldn't scare the Cleveland Browns away. Cosell went into some pretty good detail talking about Tate never needing to rely upon straight-line speed at the college level and really leaning into the fact that he has every route in his bag.
He is unafraid to go across the middle of the field and is always a big play waiting to happen. “He was very much of a vertical receiver at Ohio State this past season but I'm not sure he can be THAT in the league…” “If I had to pick one guy as my number one, I'd probably say that Tate would be THAT guy. ” @GregCosell on Ohio State WR Carnell Tate: pic.
