I'm surprised Carriker isn't in the first rd. in this mock draft.

Carriker shouldn't be in most of them. He's good, but the field of good pass-rushing defensive ends/linebackers in this draft is pretty big:

Jamaal Anderson
Gaines Adams
Quentin Moses
Jarvis Moss
LaMarr Woodley
Charles Johnson
Lawrence Timmons

Carriker could be a first-rounder, but that something for after the combines.

Anyways, my revised mock doesn't have him in it either. I'll post that another day. Two drafts too close to each other is no good.

As for the mock just posted, I highly disagree with Minnesota's pick. If they really want a wideout, they'll either trade up for Calvin Johnson or trade down and get Jarrett then. It's a waste of a top 10 pick to take Jarrett. If Johnson is gone and they don't trade down, they're likely taking a defensive end such as Gaines Adams or Jamaal Anderson to boost a pass rush that averaged less than two sacks per game.

This is one of the deepest draft classes I can remember.

Hall didn't cover Jarrett most of the game, their other corner did.

Jeff Samardzija pulls outs of the NFL draft and will play just baseball, according to the Chicago Tribune.

I'm pretty sure last year was deeper.
