This is a guy that some have called the best player in the draft. But when the Raiders won’t touch you…

How far does he fall, and is there a point where the Rams would even consider a move to grab him and line him up next to Aaron Donald?

(Yeah, I know the answers are probably “not very far” and “no,” but it’s fun to speculate!)

I'd love him on the Rams, but, there is almost zero chance that occurs. We'd have to give up basically our whole draft and some of next years picks to get in range. I wouldn't be shocked if the Bears ended up getting him after all. I'd honestly just rather see him on any team but the cards or hags personally.

Makes sense the Raiders won’t touch him after the Henry Riggs situation. That would be a bad PR move.

 

[OldSchool]

I just can't see him falling to us. Nice thought but can't see it being a reality.

The Raiders trying to stay relevant with irrelevant press releases...

He's not going to be there at 7.

I wondered what that Raiders press release was about, makes no sense.

He wouldn't be on my board either. He was out of shape at his Pro Day and already had maturity issues before the speed racing incident.

At 36 he wouldn't be on your board? The dude would be absolutely humbled if he fell that far and, IMO, would work his ass off to get back to what he was. Not to mention the MILLIONS of dollars he would have missed out on and want to gain on his 2nd contract. I'd sprint to podium at 36 for him. There is a reason draft niks are calling him the most talented player in the draft and at 36, he is well worth the risk.

Side note, never falling to 36. Ever.

No, he's completely off. I get the feeling that Carter will be a ginormous bust. His maturity and character are major concerns, and given that the Raiders are confirmed to have him off the board, there's a damn good reason for it. Personally, I hope the Hags draft him with their high first instead of Anderson (who, in my opinion, is the best player in this class).

I think Sheattle will pick him. Pete has some Fisher in him when it comes to bad eggs.
