Hunt has 1 tackle up to now while Carradine has yet to play. Hunt has looked like....well, a very raw project that needs a lot of seasoning.

there's no two ways about it, physically, tank's a tweener, and it will be interesting to observe tank's progress on the line. will he be stout enough and powerful enough to be an every-down player? he's already almost 25 years old, so you can't expect a physical blossoming to occur and for him to become a natural 300 pounds of player after his college, boy body. he's not a large-boned guy for a d-lineman; and he's close to being maxed out. from an injury standpoint, it concerns me that he'll be trying to play at 290--which is extremely rocked-up for his skeletal framework. those kind of guys get injured more than a a guy like dial, who is huge but has the bones and connective tissue that naturally support his size.
tank's intangibles pretty much guarantee that he'll be, at least, good. but, will he be a nfl stud? that's the unknown.

Cowboy weighed less than Tank out of college.
I think he's a stud.
He's so explosive for his size. Tomsula will perfect his technique.
It's all on his willingness to learn.

This. Justin Smith came out of college weighing about 265 pounds.

I know I am asking for too much but I hope Tank turns out to be our own JJ.Watt. Imagine having a player of his caliber creating havoc on the inside with Justin while Aldon(when he's not at rehab or jail) is gunning from the outside and running over tree tall Tackles. That'll be awwwwwssoommee! Gooo Niners!
Would be borderline unethical lol.
He also did 32 reps on the bench press. That is one strong dude, especially considering his long arms. He's a physical freak who also produced in college and showed great pass rush ability. Very wishful thinking, but here's to hoping Tank turns into our own JJ Watt

Carradine is actually 23 years old. His actual birthday is in 1990, not in 1989 as listed on several sites.

I think Baalke's patience is eventually going to pay off big with Carradine. Fresh Legs!!!

not game shape though. if tank can give us 6-8 solid plays this year i take it and be happy. next year though, he is going to be a player. lets just be patient.
