Carter will likely go somewhere in the second or third round. With his skill level, he could be a late first round pick, so any team that picks him up in those later rounds will be getting a corner with major upside potential. Even in a weak cornerback draft class, Carter should stand out more to scouts and NFL teams.
When you think of the big names heading into the 2015 NFL Draft, you'll come up with Marcus Mariota and Jameis Winston, not Alex Carter. The underrated cornerback for the Cardinal locked down Pac-12 teams and their air-raid offenses in 2015, and even picked off Mariota; Carter was only one of four players in the nation who could hold that claim to fame.
