Tennessee Titans No. 4 overall draft pick grade for Carnell Tate
- The grade: C-plus
- Why? Tate wasn't the WR1 at Ohio State behind Jeremiah Smith. Given the draft capital, he'll be expected to be the WR1 in Nashville. He is a good, technical route runner who feasted in the slot. Can he play through aggressive coverage on the outside? To fulfill the pick value, Tate will have to do so as a pro. A good player, but a not-great value at No. 4.
