He plays like Ezekiel Ansah's cousin. Near-identical frames and on-field style; Carradine has more advanced technique but less explosiveness. Like Ansah, he'll be an impact run defender quickly -- he stacks and sheds with power, and holds a great edge with his reach. Incredibly active, second-effort guy who plays through the whistle.

His pass rush is promising (he kills tackles when he goes inside), although I'd like to see him generate more strength with his hands. Sometimes he looks like he's playing with just his forearms. Great bend for his size but a little herky-jerky in his routes. That reflects on his lack of top speed, and he needs a moment to gear back up when redirected. He could get away with playing strong-side linebacker in certain schemes, as long as he's *never* allowed to drop in coverage. Otherwise, keep him at end.

You may not get much out of him as a rookie, since he tore his ACL in late November. But I see the injury being a discount -- he's only started 12 games (JUCO transfer), produced in all of them, and is still figuring out his potential. First-rounder who'll be taken in the third.
