Any chance jalen carter slips outside outside top 15?

Bro, he was racing another vehicle in which 2 people died.

This will be interesting. I would say he goes the way of La’el Collins. But we are a ways off from the draft, so I think some teams investigate and think the risk is worth the reward and he still goes top 10, of top 15.

He might be in jail. Depends on legal action against him. I thinking UDFA. I will not touch him until I hear more on his case. Saints can't take change on wasted pick.

That questions his maturity...you gotta think even with the talent that worries some teams. But he won't fall out of the first round unless he does serious time + suspension from the league (can they even do that?)

I doubt he drops far in this modern age of the nfl.

I’m not a criminal lawyer, so I don’t know how bad his legal issues are in Georgia. Obviously, NFL teams are about to investigate this incident and his background looking for the slightest hints of behavioral issues.

This is a bit different than the Collins situation in that there was only speculation about Collins. In Carter’s case, we know what he did and even if the legal consequences aren’t ultimately too significant, people died and he played a role in it. That’s tough to ignore. The question will become: was this a one off incident with serious consequences, or does he have behavioral and maturity issues and this is the most prominent example of it manifesting itself?

If the facts currently being reported are accurate, he’s going to slip. How much he slips will be based on teams assessments of his as a whole person. As others have said, he will be untouchable to some teams and that makes sense - some teams just won’t go there. As a Saints fan, if he still sitting there at 29, I’m not sure you take him if available. Talented as he is, we just can’t take that type of risk with other holes all over the roster and limited draft capital.

Perhaps more info will come out and prove he is worth the risk to draft him respective to his talent level. But right now, I’d have to assume he slides at least some.

He would be a good guy to move up for if so.

Our track record of moving up for DL has not been good at all. Like disastrous. Haven't hit a sure thing there since Cam got drafted.

msstate, saw this post on the moresports board for you.

Carter, who was once considered a potential No. 1 pick in April's draft, weighed 323 pounds at the pro day. He opted to do only position drills and didn't participate in other aspects of the workout, including the 40-yard dash, cone drills and other physical tests. Carter didn't finish the position drills because he was cramping up and breathing heavily.

Wow, if he's there when we pick, I'd still run to the podium. I expect him to be gone though
