Draft Projection - 1st Round

NFL Impact - Carriker is coming off of two very impressive seasons at Nebraska. Has great quickness and agility for his size, but is projecting to be better as a linemen in a 3-4 type defense because he is not expected to have the speed required to be a solid pass rusher at the NFL level. Could also excel as a defensive tackle in a 4 down lineman set.

Where do you see him going? What are your thoughts on Adam Carriker

Adam Carriker's draft stock has only been going up and I think it will continue to go up after the combine. Depending on what teams are looking for I could see him going to the 49ers (which i would really love to see) because as you have mentioned many scouts see him as a great 3-4 end just because of his size. I could also see him going to the steelers although with so many good defensive ends in this years draft he could slip down allowing the jets to take him I dont see him being passed on any further than that just because he is just so big and talented and can really play anywhere on the defensive line in any scheme and be effective

Your right, this kids stock has definately been on the rise. He's not going to be a great pass rusher, but he will fit nicely in a 3-4 and will be very good vs the run.
