2026 NFL Mock Draft Shocker: Fernando Mendoza to Go No. 1, Commanders Snatch Surprise Star Jeremiyah Love and More Unbelievable Picks Revealed!

6. Cleveland Browns — Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State

Tate brings a raised level of competence to the Browns’ wide receiver room they sorely need. The execution on every level of their passing game needs major improvement and Tate would provide a high floor starter to pair with tight end Harold Fannin Jr. and running back Quinshon Judkins as the core young offensive talent. Tate might not have the profile of a dominant No. 1 wide receiver, but he can undoubtedly be a heavily targeted option.

There simply aren’t many offenses that can unleash a quarterback and running back that can both run a sub-4.4 40 on every snap. I like how the Commanders addressed the running back room already this offseason, and they have other positions and needs on their roster they could easily go after. But with so many defensive players going early, and the Commanders perhaps feeling like they can address offensive needs later, they instead go with perhaps the best skill player in this year’s draft class to boost their offense with first time play-caller David Blough.
