Overview
- ESPN’s Matt Miller projects Ohio State wideout Carnell Tate to the Giants at No. 5 and Indiana corner D’Angelo Ponds at No. 37 in his two-round mock.
- Pro Football Focus, as reported by Yahoo Sports, identifies wide receiver as New York’s top priority at No. 5 and singles out Tate as the recommended target.
- Carnell Tate logged an 89.0 PFF receiving grade in 2025 with zero drops on 66 targets, posting 875 yards and nine touchdowns while sharing opportunities in Ohio State’s offense.
- Receiver urgency stems from Malik Nabers’ torn ACL and uncertainty in the slot, with projections framing Tate as a reliable complement to support quarterback Jaxson Dart.
- These moves are mock-draft forecasts rather than team decisions, with Over the Cap estimating just under $7 million in space that points New York toward the draft for major upgrades.
