Browns Insider Recommends Carnell Tate in Upcoming Draft

CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Cleveland Browns must make key decisions at quarterback and bolster their offensive line, but a team insider believes they should also seek a top wide receiver in the 2026 NFL Draft. Zac Jackson, a knowledgeable source on the Browns, suggests targeting Ohio State’s Carnell Tate with their 21st pick.

In a post on social media platform X, Jackson expressed enthusiasm about the idea: “Carnell Tate at pick 21? Carnell Tate at pick 21.” As the season progresses, Tate has shown he could be a significant asset for the Browns.

Though first-round wideouts are rare, Tate’s performance this season makes him stand out. Over six games, he has caught 28 passes for 476 yards, exceeding half his total yardage from last year, along with tying his career best with four touchdowns. While he may not have elite speed, Tate compensates with sharp route-running and excellent body control.

Tate is known for his ability to create separation and secure tough catches, highlighting his reliable hands. Additionally, he demonstrates commitment to blocking, showcasing his all-around game. Despite Jerry Jeudy‘s struggles as a potential WR1, Tate could emerge as a cornerstone for the Browns’ receiving corps.
