Jalen Carter Visiting With Raiders Wednesday
2 years agoUniversity of Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter is visiting with the Las Vegas Raiders on Wednesday. A report surfaced in March that the Raiders weren't interested in drafting Carter this year, but head coach Josh McDaniels has refuted the report. Carter is one of the top-ranked defensive players in this year's draft, along with Alabama edge rusher Will Anderson Jr., but he could fall to the latter stages of the top 10 in the first round after he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor reckless driving and racing charges in March. The 22-year-old also had a disappointing performance during position drills at his Pro Day. The Raiders have the seventh overall pick and could really use some help on the defensive side of the ball, so Carter could be an option for them if he falls.
