DId skipping out on Penn State's pro day have a detrimental effect on the NFL draft stock of Penn State's top draft prospect, edge rusher Abdul Carter? That remains to be seen, but one new mock draft form USA TOODAY sees Carter failing to go in the top three picks.
A fresh mock draft from USA TODAY Sports writer Nate Davis projects Carter to go to the New England Patriots with the fourth overall pick. That is a coup[le of picks later than the consensus No. 2 pick most mock drafts had for Carter leading up to Penn State's pro day event last week.
