Deal for Rams: Pretty sad to see. Carriker was the 13th pick in the 2007 draft and one of the most dominant defensive tackles in NCAA history from Nebraska with 16.5 sacks in his last 2 years (why does this sound eerily familiar). However, injuries and inconsistencies destroyed him as he only has had 2 sacks in his career. Now he’s gone for the right to move up 29 picks in the 5th round, pretty much nothing. I would have liked to have seem them try to restore his career, but I can’t really blame them for getting rid of him here.
Grade: B
Deal for Redskins: I like this. I know they’re already short on picks, but they don’t lose a pick in this process, only move down 29 picks and they get a guy in Carriker who still has some upside and is a great fit in Washington’s 3-4 defense.
Grade: A
