How high can a player who tore his ACL in November go in the NFL draft? Florida State defensive end Cornellius "Tank" Carradine is about to answer that question. He wasn't even a starter for the Seminoles when the season started, but he'll be a longtime starter in the NFL if he plays the way he did in 2012. Find out what makes overlooking Carradine's injury easy when it comes time to draft him. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...uting-report-nfl-outlook-for-florida-state-de
Like him. Like what I saw in his games. His arms are also really impressive. Long and strong. Having 34+ arms and benching 225 28 times is really impressive. And, at 6'4 I can envision a lot of batted passes. Not quite the J.J. Watt category but probably close to that. He may have the best upside. I think I'd rather have him than Ansah (and Werner) - I liked him better on the videos I watched.
It's interesting because if you do take Carradine at say 20 that means you can move Odrick to the three technique and trade Starks. You're going from a front that would produce very little pressure at right end with 4 sacks at DT, to one that could produce close to double-digit at right end with eight sacks at DT. That's a big move that could catapult a team into the upper echelon on D.
