Recommendation: Courtland Sutton over Carnell Tate. Sutton is far higher on the canonical board (38th vs 34 spots back on Tate), and his modeled median (168.2) plus ceiling (206.1) both outpace Tate’s (144.8, 178.7). The football edge is the steadier risk profile (19 vs 26) alongside a better playoff runway (56 vs 38), implying Sutton better survives the postseason volume shift. Acquisition timing is already embedded in the roster ordering. Tate’s only clean angle is converting his constraints into extra high-end output.

Tate’s strongest real path is turning his lower floor into frequent high-end finishes if the offense and usage spike.
