Dude even wears 55...with pads/helmet he looks just like Ahmad Brooks. And then we have Tank to relieve Aldon and Justin and Reid who looks like Goldson and a Walker replacement as well.
Great value pick IMO. Kiper had him going in the 2nd round. He's been called a 1st round talent that has been inconsistent and needs proper coaching. He has impressive size as an edge rusher, 6'3", 255, with a 4.6 40. Very good athleticism, tremendous rip move, strong motor, I think for where he was drafted the 49ers got very good value indeed. What this all means is that Carradine will be developed as a DE and an eventual replacement for Justin Smith.

I know nothing about this guy.... I HATE not knowing anything about guys we pick this early. We do need to upgrade the depth behind Aldon and Ahmad. If this guy can make Haralson expendable in training camp it could help out our cap situation.

Wait, you hate the pick because you're ignorant to his abilities?
Also, the depth behind Aldon Smith and Ahmad Brooks is thin. They were so desperate that they signed 34 year old Clark Haggans at one point. They had RJF rotating with Aldon Smith when he went down late in the season.
