Rd 3, Pick 95: DT DeWayne Carter, Duke

100% Process pick. Not sure where he fits apart from 3T, but it is an area of need, though not as dire nor as great a value fit as EDGE imo.

 

Beast take: This is a reach with a 4th/5th round grade.

 

SUMMARY: A three-year starter at Duke, Carter was a three-technique defensive tackle in former head coach Mike Elko’s 4-2-5 base scheme (also saw snaps on the edge). He became the first three-time team captain in Blue Devils history, although his senior season production fell short of what he put on film as a sophomore and junior. Carter needs to keep adding moves to his rush attack, but he generates power from his get-off and transfers it to his hands to create initial movement in his pass rush. He displays similar play strength, effort and ball-tracking versus the run, although he will need to be more efficient as a block shedder to be a relevant run defender at the line of scrimmage in the NFL. Overall, Carter doesn’t have a true difference-making trait on the field, but he is smart, strong and very active. He might never be a full-time starter, but he will give a team value as a rotational three-technique (even fronts) or five-technique (odd fronts).

I hate that Franklin and Walker are on the board and we take a DT and then the war room has freaking Mcdouche standing right next to Beane whispering in his ear. Dude go sit in the corner and let Beane get Allen a deep threat
