I dunno those drafts are made by idiots.
The 49ers need a front-line playmaker in order to make the full-time switch to a 3-4 scheme and Carriker provides them the best model for playing end in that scheme. He has had some outstanding workouts and interviews leading up to the draft.
I think they will grab Amobi Okoye, and Carriker by the Broncos
he’s not that slow for 292 lbs….the 9ers need a good end, Carriker can stuff the run at the DE spot and can also move inside to DT on passing downs
Honestly, I don’t really no. I have never heard about him until about a month ago, and I really just don’t like him. They are my team so I would like to see them get an Alan Branch or Amobi Okoye. They also can go for a Reggie Nelson, Dwayne Jarrett or Robert Meacham. I just don’t want them to get Adam Carriker.
I like Carriker a lot. I think he’s high on draft boards because of his size (6-6, 290 pounds) allows him to play as a defensive end or inside on some passing downs (he did this a lot in college at Nebraska). Most scouts seem to think he can play in either the 3-4 or 4-3 defense and is a prototypical defensive end (whatever that means) in the 3-4.
His workouts have been good, his interviews have been equally good. He’s a 3 year starter in college (not a 1 year wonder) and he’s got a motor that just never stops.
If he ends up in SF, I hope he surprises you.
