What the analysts are saying
- "Carter is an outside linebacker in a 3-4 or 4-3 with sideline-to-sideline range and the tools to become a productive edge rusher in sub-packages." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
- "A rare athlete who has experience in a pro-friendly defensive scheme and showed excellent versatility in college. Still, there will be questions about Carter's lack of sack production after managing just 9.5 over his final two seasons." - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
