The Tennessee Titans were linked for so long to Jeremiyah Love.
The Notre Dame running back didn't make it to the No. 4 overall pick, though. The Arizona Cardinals took Love with the third pick.
That meant the Titans had to pivot.
They instead went with Carnell Tate, the wide receiver out of Ohio State.
It's a big-time move, for sure.

But they didn't have an obvious WR1. Tate becomes that guy.

The Titans could've gone defense here, or they could've traded down, but they clearly liked Tate.
Ward surely is smiling after this one.
