Overview
- ESPN's Field Yates projects Washington to select Carnell Tate at No. 7, arguing the team cannot overlook the need for a second outside target for Jayden Daniels.
- Tate's 2025 profile includes more than 17 yards per catch, at least one 40-plus-yard grab in six games, and a career line of 121 catches for 1,872 yards and 14 touchdowns over 39 games.
- Scouting notes cited by Yates highlight Tate's route running, contested-catch strength, hands and body control, positioning him as a pro-ready outside threat.
- Roster context factors into the projection, with Deebo Samuel and tight end Zach Ertz set to enter free agency and Daniels having missed much of 2025.
- Draft dynamics could affect availability, as receiver-needy teams like the Titans, Giants and Browns pick before Washington, with some analysts ranking Tate near the top of the class alongside Jordyn Tyson.
