2. Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State
Times Mocked to Saints (3/30-4/5): 9 (91 Total)
"The more I think about it, the more I can't escape the notion that the Saints are going to make their best effort early in the draft to help out the future around Tyler Shough. Carnell Tate is as sure of a bet as you'll find in terms of wide receiver help, versatile in his ability to move around and win at different levels of the field. He'll greatly help the cause in the Big Easy." -Williams
"Carnell Tate is the heavy favorite to be the first receiver taken. His skill set is one that accompanies many of the league's best receivers. Reliable hands, great separation, and good IQ to know when to sit down in coverage. Tate had just a three percent drop rate through his college career. He would give Tyler Shough a true number one opposite of Chris Olave." -North
"The Saints badly need receiving help, along with defensive line and cornerback upgrades, and Tate fills one of those holes with a polished, quarterback-friendly skill set. He gets open in ways that translate, and that matters a lot more than winning the Underwear Olympics by a tenth of a second. Tate's tape says he is fast enough. He should pair nicely with another former Buckeye, Chris Olave, and could become a high-volume NFL target in time." -Brown
