LB Andre Carter

[Bri]

How do you think he'll do playing LB in a 3-4?

 

[Weiner Dog]

Upside: Peter Boulware (pre-'04) or Joey Porter.Downside: pick any 2nd-string OLB who is only a pass-rush specialist.Most likely: A Jason Babin-like season from '04 (60 tackles and 4 sacks).Winborn is the wild-card in this whole scenario. As of now, he's listed higher than AC on the SF depth chart. However, AC (when healthy) is too good of an athlete/player to keep off the field.Training camp should prove interesting.

I think Carter is a bad fit at OLB. He doesn't have very fluid hips and will be a liability playing in space. But he does have ability to rush the passer. I would pass on him in '05.

:X the browns and niners should have a support group about blowing first round picks.

On the contrary, it's very easy to believe that when you consider their atrocious recent drafting.

I hope you are kidding in responding to my quote. If not, I was being sarcastic. That is why I listed the drafts....

I was kidding. But I grew up on football in the 1980s when the 49ers were a dominant franchise and actually I do still find it hard to believe they are now so awful.

Six of those picks are #24 or later.....its not like they were the Browns or Cards suckin ### every year and picking top 5. I would pass on Carter--dude who said his hips were not fluid was right on. He has not looked good playing in space, they've tried droppin him off in coverage on a few zone blitzes and he looked lost.
