Ohio State star confirms visit upcoming visit with Commanders

· Yahoo Sports

The Washington Commanders were heavily represented in Columbus, Ohio, on Wednesday for the Ohio State Buckeyes' pro day. Ohio State's annual pro day is always a must-attend event, but it's even more interesting this year with four players expected to go in the top 10 and up to five to land in the first round.

The Commanders hold the No. 7 overall pick, and every projected top-10 Buckeye would make sense for them. Arvell Reese would give Dan Quinn someone who may remind him of Micah Parsons. Sonny Styles would be an ideal Bobby Wagner replacement for the next decade, giving the defense some much-needed speed. Carnell Tate would slide in opposite Terry McLaurin at receiver, and could eventually replace him as Washington's No. 1 wideout. Finally, Caleb Downs would give the Commanders a difference-maker in the secondary, something they sorely lack.

There's a chance that some of these players are available at No. 7. There's also the possibility that they're all gone. Perhaps Washington's most pressing need is at receiver. So, it was no surprise that Washington was spending some extra time with Tate after Wednesday's pro day.

Sure, it's worth noting that the Commanders likely spoke with each of the top Ohio State prospects. But, with Washington's need at receiver, it makes sense that GM Adam Peters, Quinn and offensive coordinator David Blough would want as much face time with Tate as possible.

Tate confirmed that he also has a top 30 visit scheduled with the Commanders.

Of those visits, the Titans, Giants and Browns all pick before the Commanders, with the Saints and Chiefs right behind Washington. If it wasn't clear before, Tate will be selected somewhere inside the top 10 of next month's NFL draft.
