There were rumors of Philadelphia potentially needing to trade up for Carter, but things worked out in the end, and the game-wrecking hybrid landed in the best possible spot.
Roseman landed Carter’s teammate and good friend, Nolan Smith, some twenty-one picks late, at No. 30 overall.
Smith is undersized for an edge rusher (6-2, 238 pounds) and will play “outside linebacker,” according to GM Howie Roseman.
With the duo headed to Philadelphia, here are the top photos from the All-American pass rusher.
