Carriker moving up?

Just a little blurb on him, but good news nonetheless

"Another player benefiting from being labeled as a high character prospect is Adam Carriker of Nebraska. His versatility as a two-gap end or defensive tackle gives him added value. He is now likely to be a top-10 pick, perhaps to the Dolphins."

God, I wish the stupid draft would happen already. I'm sick of hearing about it.

Wow...top 10? That is the first place I have seen say that. I think it is a strong possibility that the 49ers take him at 11, but I didn't think he would crack the top 10...for some reason, many people have like 3-4 DE's in front of Carriker, which I think is bogus, so it would be nice for him to go early and shut his doubters up.

I have been hearing over and over that hes going 7th to the Vikings because the guy they wanted, Ted Ginn, doesnt seem to be impressing them as much as time goes on

I would love that. Getting Carriker and not getting Ginn. Ginn has bust written all over him.

I would be VERY VERY happy with Adam getting drafted by the Vikes since I am from MN and follow the Vikes.

Who was the last Husker to go in the Top 10 of Round 1? Anybody know?

Grant Wistrom in 1998 by the Rams. He was the 6th pick. Here are the all time fisrt round picks. Just follow the link. http://www.huskers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SP...&ATCLID=520

This is very exciting news and I hope he does crack the top 10 to shut some of the non-believers up!!!! I would rather see him go to the Rams, but my father-in-law is a big Vikings fan so I could deal with that. :bonez

I live in Minnesota, but I am EXTREMELY anti-Vikings, for the same reason I'm anti-Gophers: the local media builds them up every year, and every year they suck. Plus, they wear purple. That said, if the Vikings were to draft Carriker (I doubt they will, I think they'll grab Landry out of LSU), I would definitley change my tune. I used to be a big chiefs fan, but I dont have a favorite NFL team anymore. All I do is follow Huskers, and Carriker is one of my favorites. So if the Vikings get him, I might have no choice but to actually support them.

In an aside, I for one LOVE the NFL's shift to emphasizing character in thier draft picks. Glad to see them finally be more concerned about player conduct.

Having my Vikes draft him would make my day.

GBR!!!
