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.

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.Gunner likes this. -

Fits the defense perfectly. I think he is a dark horse @ 12 if we get Albert.

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.

Not sure Tank lasts that long. Atlanta has quite a few picks and need a pass rusher.
