The Detroit Lions trade up from the 88th Overall pick to the 80th overall pick to select a cornerback they worked out during the off-season.  Carter falls into the category of players that are good on the inside and the outside. He can play the nickel and also outside corner, often on subsequent plays, without much if any drop-off in production.

From a measurements standpoint, Alex Carter is right along the middle.  His RAS Grade ended up right below average, but his actual RAS score was almost 5.
