NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans selected Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate at No. 4 overall in the NFL draft on Thursday night, choosing to give quarterback Cam Ward someone to help the offense.

The NFL’s highest-spending team in free agency added a bunch of players on defense in March for new coach Robert Saleh, who will be calling the schemes this season.

But Tennessee also has Ward, the No. 1 overall selection a year ago. The Titans only signed Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency and reworked Calvin Ridley's contract in March to help the wide receiving group.

The Titans are coming off a 3-14 record that was their fourth straight losing season. They fired Brian Callahan after a 1-5 start to his second season before hiring Saleh in January.

Former Giants coach Brian Daboll is the Titans' new offensive coordinator trying to rev up a unit that was one of the NFL's worst in 2025.

Even with Ward starting every game, Tennessee ranked 30th in the NFL last season with 166.1 yards a game.

Tate, the first Ohio State player taken in this draft, is a 6-foot-3, 195-pound wide receiver who finished his career with 121 catches for 1,872 yards and 14 touchdowns. He caught a pass in 37 of the 39 games he played.
