Tate at WR30 offers top-5 rookie pedigree with 80% hit rate for top-36 finishes.
Andrew Erickson highlights Carnell Tate as the WR30, the cheapest a top-5 drafted rookie WR has been in a long time. Tate slides into an offense where he can emerge as the true No. 1 alpha WR with upside attached to second-year QB Cam Ward in an offense led by new OC Brian Daboll. While Tate might not have bonkers target share from the jump due to Wan'Dale Robinson and Calvin Ridley, his path to WR1 status is clearly in reach. In his final year at Ohio State, Tate finished first in the class in EPA/target (0.82) and positive % versus man coverage (56%). Comparable WRs drafted from the previous class with the same win rate include Emeka Egbuka, Ladd McConkey, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba—all questioned as true No. 1 options coming out of college. WRs selected inside the top-5 since 2013 have finished as top-36 options at an 80% hit rate.
