KD in CA Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 A fifth-year senior, Carrington put two excellent seasons together to cap his career with the Arkansas State defense. He has a good combination of size, strength and speed for an interior defensive lineman. He doesn't have great lateral quickness or agility to come off the edge as a 4-3 end but is well suited for a five-technique in 3-4 scheme. He is best at the point of attack, anchoring versus the run, and is effective pushing the pocket as a bull rusher. He has a decent feel for blocking schemes and restricting running lanes when using proper pad level and hand use. Carrington is inconsistent to shed blockers and get to the pile but has the natural arm strength and power to improve in this area. He is a good tackler in a restricted area but lacks great burst and range out of the tackle box. Carrington has the measurables and raw talent to vie for a starting position after his second or third season in the league. I like it, another big body. The Bills are final getting it -- you need to pound the crap out of people to win. This DL needed a lot of help and they are getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saundena Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 This sucks. I though Nix said that LT was a need.... Ruined my night listening to this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fong Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 OK, he has good size for a 3-4 end. I would have rather had Campbell, but I guess I can live with this. Gotta check youtube and see if I can find some video because this kid wasn't on my radar at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthICE Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Another damn good pick for WHAT WE ARE DOING! He doesn't have great lateral quickness or agility to come off the edge as a 4-3 end but is well suited for a five-technique in 3-4 scheme. He is best at the point of attack, anchoring versus the run, and is effective pushing the pocket as a bull rusher Great 3-4 DE and the last I checked we are running a 3-4. Seems the goal right this minute is to get the Defense up to speed ASAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acantha Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Another surprise for me, but a good pick I think. Don't know much about Troupe, but I saw a bunch of games with Carrington and he stood out. I think he'll do pretty well in rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 This is a solid pick. He is made for our system, and he will excel. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1137271 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfish Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I guess all the people whining over the last two picks have forgotten how badly the Bills were absolutely manhandled at the line of scrimmage last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Wow, passing up OT again. I guess they really think Demetrius Bell is a good NFL starter at this point, and Jamon Meredith is a good NFL backup. They're wrong, unfortunately. Carrington wouldn't be a bad pick if there was zero quality available at OT, or if we already had something at OT. Can anyone honestly say that depth at DE behind Stroud/Edwards/Johnson/Kyle Williams some of the time is more important than depth at OT behind Bell/Green/Meredith/Chambers?
