The Athletic’s Zac Jackson believes that, barring a trade down, the Browns will take Ohio State WR Carnell Tate with the No. 6 overall pick.

The Browns absolutely have to improve a wideout room that they’ve done little with this offseason, really only adding Tylan Wallace. Jerry Jeudy currently profiles as the No. 1 receiver and they may wind up with Isaiah Bond as the No. 2 as things stand. Tate makes all the sense in the world for the Browns from the outside looking in. Of course, it’s hard to say for sure that he’ll be there at No. 6 in a draft that’s this hard to identify real difference-makers in. But we’d be stunned if the Browns didn’t leave the first round of the draft with a wideout.
