As the 2025 NFL Draft nears, the Washington Commanders are considering their options with the No. 7 overall pick. Reports suggest that if Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles is available, he will be the choice. However, if Styles is off the board, Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate emerges as a strong candidate. Tate has been described as a 'Swiss Army knife' due to his versatility and effectiveness as a blocker. Former teammate Will Howard, who played alongside Tate at Ohio State, emphasized his strength, speed, and unselfishness on the field. Despite needing to improve his physical strength and technique, Tate's maturity and team-oriented attitude make him a fitting prospect for the Commanders' new offensive system under coordinator David Blough. If the team cannot secure Styles, Tate would be a valuable consolation prize.
