He needs to get stronger, but I really like him in the 2nd.
They were saying the same thing about an ex bulldog Leonard Floyd and he turned out to be a beast..
Yeah, I loved Floyd. He's special. With Carter, I think he's a game changer. I could see him shooting up into the 1st like Hassan Reddick did. The 10-20 range is possible there aren't any red flags. He'll kill the workouts.
Trading back and getting him to play SAM would be a nice boost to our pass rush. Plus he can play in coverage and against the run. Strength isn't an issue for me.
Judging by the older Seattle model, I'd say he's better than Bruce Irvin in every aspect. Both have a quick burst off the line, but Carter has elite closing speed. In runs support, Carter already sets the edge very well and has the ability to shed and make plays once the RB commits to a lane. In coverage, they might be closer, but again, Carter closes so fast. I'd give him the edge with his length and football IQ.
I see a first rounder that may surprise casual fans.
