The Arizona Cardinals have a number of needs they will try to address in the 2026 NFL draft. They really could go with any position during the draft.
Over the next few articles, we will go over players who could be targets in each round.
Let's have a look at wide receiver.
The Cardinals love Ohio State players, and Tate has length at over 6-2 and has great route running. Ohio State continues to pump out talented wideouts.
He is an exciting prospect at 6-4 with elite speed, running the 40 in 4.37 seconds. He had over 1,000 receiving yards, averaging 16.4 yards per catch and had an SEC-leading nine touchdowns.
He is just shy of six feet tall and ran the 40 in 4.41 seconds. His best season was 2024 with 904 yards and an ACC-leading 11 touchdowns.
He is over 6-4 and weighs 200 lbs, and he ran the 40 in 4.47 seconds. He averaged over 15 yards per catch in 2025.
He is even taller at over 6-5 and even faster, with a 40 time of 4.31 seconds and a vertical leap of 11-2. After three seasons at Linderwood, he went to Cincinnati for a season. He had 32 receptions for 478 yards and six scores.
In one season for Texas Tech, the 6-4 wideout had 57 catches for 705 yards. At Miami of Ohio, he averaged 20.4 yards per reception.
That's right, he is another speedster with a 40 time of 4.37 seconds. He had 43 catches for 719 yards and six scores for Oregon last season after stints at Alabama and Florida State.
