ABDUL CARTER

[Philosophers]

The article did say the injury shouldn't be long-term.  I am okay with a potential minor impact on the rookie season for the potential of a long-term elite pass rusher

Yes but it may be an injury that pops up in the future with soreness and/or swelling.  on these big guys, foot injuries terrify me.

The question is can Carter be handled one on one (like Thibs usually is)...or will Carter be more like Parsons where he is just too explosive and needs a double team.

Everything indicates he's in the Parsons/Myles Garrett/TJ Watt unblockable category.  You never really know until the guy is on an NFL field but as far as prospects go he's got about as little risk as you're going to find in a given year.

• Carter doesn't need surgery on his shoulder or foot, but he carried both injuries into the draft process, and each might need to be fixed down the line. The Penn State star also has a low lean-body-mass number, which some teams use as a predictor for injuries. So adding the existing ailments to that is cause for concern for some teams.

Only the teams truly know on the medical outlook. If we take him we are happy. If we take someone else or trade back to let someone else take him then most likely it will mean we weren't.

The guy had the shoulder injury vs Boise St in the playoff and then played Notre Dame with basically one arm and dominated them. 7 qb pressures, 1 sack, and a 22% pressure rate, he terrorized them with one arm.

Apparently Carter grew up as a Huge Eagles fan.  Read the Eagles really want him for that and not to have to play him 2x a year

We're gonna draft him and he's gonna end up getting 7-8 sacks a year

If that happens, I suspect it will be due to the Giants' inability to keep him healthy and on the field as opposed to a lack of talent and ability.
