NFL analyst has questions about Ohio State's Carnell Tate as top WR
Is Carnell Tate the top receiver in the NFL draft? There is some debate about Tate.
Aqib Talib is a former NFL first-round pick. Talib played 12 seasons in the NFL as a cornerback, won a Super Bowl, was named first-team All-Pro once, second-team All-Pro once, and was a five-time Pro Bowl selection. These days, Talib is a co-host of "The Arena: Gridiron" podcast, alongside Skip Bayless, Gerald McCoy and Cody Kessler.
Recently, Talib has been previewing the 2026 NFL Draft. This week, Talib, alongside his co-hosts, named their top three receivers in next week's draft. For Washington Commanders fans, the analysis was worth a listen.
Washington badly needs another wide receiver. The Commanders have hosted most of the top receivers in this draft class and met with them numerous times. At some point, Washington will select a wide receiver, perhaps as high as No.
7 overall. Ohio State WR Carnell Tate is often mentioned as a possibility for the Commanders in mock drafts. It makes sense.
