Where do they think he is taken in the draft?
#5
I honestly have no feel for it. It concerns me that he was out of shape that soon after the season, and with that much to play for. But, maybe the distraction of the accident and everything was overwhelming? I think it is pretty eye opening that the Hawks have two QBs on the roster and basically no lineman, especially interior. I think they want Anderson or Carter. I think if Anderson is gone, which I think he will be unless someone trades up ahead of us for a QB, we try to trade down. If we can't trade down? All the moves they have made on the D Line? I think in that case we take Carter.
BUT, what I KNOW is that I have no damn idea what the Seahawks are going to do. Pretty much never do. I loved the Cross pick last year, but I didn't see us taking him. And to pretend I knew we'd take Walker and Bryant and get a steal like we did with Woolen? No chance. We will probably end up with someone no one is mentioning right now, or trade back...which means we will trade up and take a QB! LOL
From what I've been reading teams aren't viewing his pro day issue as being important. That's the thing about a narrative, if he is lazy then where are the other indications? There is no indication of his taking plays off that I can find, seems to be the opposite, he's got a motor. He is constantly putting the QB under pressure. And he also plays injured. The ability, the desire to play through injury is significant I believe in terms of a player's heart.
From his sophomore season, conditioning could be something he needs to work on.
His development starts with continuing to improve his conditioning. While he plays with maximum effort at all times, Carter looked visibly gassed several times throughout his freshman season.That improved during his sophomore season, but he still has room to grow.
From Kyper, he is still his number one prospect
The reality is Carter’s stock hasn’t dropped in the eyes of NFL teams, and so I’m not dropping him in my rankings. On the field, he is a fantastic prospect. I moved him to No. 1 in my December Big Board update, and he finished the season playing the best ball of his career. He had 12 quarterback pressures in his final three games for the back-to-back national champs. He was fantastic after he returned in late October from missing two games because of a knee issue. Check out this show of force in the SEC title game against LSU. He’s explosive at the snap and finishes well around the ball, even though he had just six career sacks.
