Titans Shock with Carnell Tate Pick

The decision to take Tate so early has drawn sharp criticism from some fans who expected the team to address defensive needs.

However, new head coach Robert Saleh emphasized that Tate’s ability to 'do it all' on the field made him an irresistible prospect.

The Titans were the NFL’s highest spenders in free agency and are clearly prioritizing an offensive overhaul.

Tate is the first of several Buckeyes expected to go early in this year’s draft class.
