Overview
- New Orleans hosted Carnell Tate on a Top-30 visit, marking a second meeting after an earlier pre-draft dinner with Ohio State prospects.
- ESPN’s Jordan Reid reports the Saints would look to draft Tate at No. 8 if he is still available.
- Team planning remains best player available, with ESPN’s Katherine Terrell gauging the chance of a receiver at about 40% and noting defensive targets remain possible.
- Pairing Tate with Chris Olave would target a clear need at WR2 after 2025, when Olave posted 100 catches for 1,163 yards and nine touchdowns and no other Saints receiver topped 50 catches, 500 yards, or two scores after the Rashid Shaheed trade.
- Tate produced 121 catches for 1,872 yards and 14 touchdowns across three seasons at Ohio State and is viewed as one of the top receivers in this draft class.
