Commanders Draft Tate for Offensive Spark

On March 20th, here's the latest surrounding the NFL.

The Washington commanders wrapped up a tough 2025 season with just 5 wins and 12 losses,

landing them the number 7 pick-in.

The 2026 NFL Draft After a surprise push to the NSE Championship

the year before, injuries derailed everything and left fans hoping for a quick rebound.

A recent mock-draft from NFL.com has the team grabbing Ohio State wide receiver Carnell

Tate to bolster their offense.

Many projections point to defense, but adding another pass catcher for quarterback

Jaden Daniels makes a lot of sense right now.

The commanders lean heavily on Terry McGloran at wide-out, but he's not getting any younger,

and their number 2 option Dibo Samuel hits free agency this off season.

No other receiver cracked more than 225 yards last year, exposing a real-depth issue.

Tate brings serious production from college, with 51 catches for 875 yards and 9 touchdowns

in his final season.

Plus, a career total of 121 grabs for 1,872 yards and 14 scores.

His speed to beat defenders and knack for tough catches could pair perfectly with Daniels.

As the draft nears, this pick might give the commanders the spark they need to build around

their young quarterback and climb back into contention.
