There's obviously more than a zero percent chance he falls to 9, given his recent history. Prior to that, I would have said no shot, but now?

I'd imagine it wouldn't be hard for Detroit to talk themselves into Tyree Wilson to book end Hutchinson and get the same/similar effect as they would have gotten with Carter. I could also see them going CB after their recent trade. Those two options seem just as appealing, if not much safer, than to gamble on Carter.

I haven't heard anything out of LV or ATL involving Carter, which doesn't necessarily mean anything, but if he gets past SEA and DET, I think there is a decent shot he's there for the Bears at 9. Otherwise, a trade up to 7 would be pretty easy to pull off.
I think it is Detroit, I can't see them passing on him as the upside is just to great. Seattle I could see taking him as well. LV is a no, and Atlanta I honestly I have no beat on what they want to do.

If I was betting I think Seattle takes Tyree at 5, Lions take Carter at 6. If this report is true and the Bears would draft him at 9 they have to assume the other teams will also come to a similar conclusion. This means him being available at 9 is a huge long shot a best.

Correct. I mean they could go for him since they do plan on moving on from Grady soon but the Falcons franchise typically stays away from UGA players for some reason.
The falcons offseason has been puzzling. Arthur Smith is building an old, win now defense as if he's on the hot seat, but also settling for a qb that could cost him his job

I think I’m going to put money on Atlanta to win that shit division. Saints, Bucs on the way down. Panthers will likely be treading water and Atlanta might be division winner at 9-8.

Brett Kollmann just released his video of DT rankings. The first few minutes is of Carter. Worth a look.

Why do the Falcons wear red, black and white?
Don’t know. Can’t stand the Falcs, honestly. Atlanta fans are weird. Die hard fans for college teams, and the most bandwagon fair-weather fans for the pro teams I’ve ever seen.

Just an old Georgia Tech joke

It’s to make it easier for the Bulldawgs fans to know who to root for

It's funny the rationalizations people are going through to make excuses why 9 other teams would pass but the upstanding family run business of the Bears will jump on him.

If the Bears are going to put aside their morality there's the Lions and Raiders with no morality to set aside above them.

Great take about the Raiders lol. They have a former player currently awaiting trial for killing someone while driving under the influence.

It’s not about morality. It’s about risk and how low the cost gets to make the risk worthwhile.

Zero chance Carter is available at 9. Have to trade up to 5 if they want him. If they think he is worth picking at 9 then they should absolutely trade up because Carter and Hutchinson together sounds like a nightmare to me.

Even "Open the Door" Mustipher could block a guy who had 3 sacks in 2021 & 2022 and only 7 tackles for loss in 2021 and 8 TFL's in 2022

In 2022, he failed to have a sack against....

Oregon
Florida
Missouri
South Carolina
Kentucky
Georiga Tech
And get this Powerhouse SAMFORD :ROFLMAO:

He failed to have a sack in 5 straight games and over that 5 game span had a whopping total of 6 tackles (n)

I won't even get into 2021 stats, those are even worse

The reason Carter could drop to the Bear is because it's not just about Carter. There is risk reward with him and other players with higher ratings than will be there at 9 that will off better alternatives at other positions of need for those teams. Lions need a CB and there's at least one special one. Raiders need a QB, CB, edge etc more than a DT and guys like Wilson, Gonzalez etc may still be options besides a couple QBs.

#1 greatest need for the Bear is a 3-tech and this is a very deep draft at OT. If Carter is gone at 9, which is still likely, or the Bear have crossed him off their sheet, I do not take a T. I maneuver to get a targeted 3 tech later in one or early 2 unless there's an edge/hybrid I really like to just stay there. If Poles and Cunningham are truly OL whisperers, they'll get their OT later in 2. Basically, I think it would be a mistake to not get a 3-tech before pick #53. Now they may have a sleeper 3-tech projected for later but that's playing smartest person in the room and other scouts will have similar grades on your targets. Better have 2 or 3 you really like to go that route.
