Overview
Carter is a good small-college wide receiver with excellent football skills, but he lacks that one thing that jumps out at you and makes you think he can play at the next level. He is a good route-runner and is fluid in and out of his breaks. He shows a short burst coming out of his cut, which allows him to separate from defenders, but he lacks the extra gear to maintain his lead or pull away from the pack. He is still recovering from a PCL surgery to his left knee and won't even be able to work out until after the draft. He has a chance to be signed if a team feels comfortable with the rehab work on his knee.
Analysis
Weaknesses
Carter is on the small side and can be pushed around by the press at times. Limited top-end speed will prevent him from making big plays at the next level. Not overly elusive in the open field and generally goes down after the first hit. Played at the Division I-AA level and will face a steep learning curve in the NFL.

| Grade | Title | Draft (Round) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 96-100 | Future Hall of Famer | Top Pick | A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played |
| 85-95 | Immediate Starter | 1st | An impact player with the ability/intangibles to become a Pro Bowl player. Expect to start immediately except in a unique situation (i.e. behind a veteran starter). |
| 70-84 | Eventual Starter | 2nd-3rd | A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position. |
| 50-69 | Draftable Player | 4th-7th | A prospect with the ability to make team as a backup/role player. Needs to be a special teams contributor at applicable positions. Players in the high range of this category might have long-term potential. |
| 20-49 | Free Agent | UDFA | A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body. |
