[MCIWEST]

Rams traded former first-round pick Adam Carricker to Commanders. Still awaiting word on what the Rams get in return.

Have to wonder if they wont end up with otogwe at some point also.

 

[Gaede]

Huh, really interesting. Didnt see that coming at all...Does that mean the Rams are gonna go DL with their first pick?

Doesn't seem like Shanny has changed business as usual with this team.

 

[Big Dakota]

Looks like a 5th.

2 sacks and 50 tackles in his career. Pretty good description of "bust"

Rams trade Adam Carriker to Commanders

Posted by Michael David Smith on April 20, 2010 3:22 PM ET
The St. Louis Rams have shipped defensive lineman Adam Carriker to the Washington Commanders.

Adam Schefter reported the trade on ESPN. Schefter didn't have the terms of the trade, but he did report that the trade does not involve Albert Haynesworth.

Still, the trade -- like Monday's acquisition of Howard Green -- is yet another sign that the Commanders are seeking to beef up their defensive line, which could be a sign that they would like to deal Haynesworth.

We noted a month ago that the Commanders had contacted the Rams about Carriker.

Carriker started all 16 games as a rookie after the Rams chose him in the first round of the 2007 draft, but he started only nine games in 2008 and missed the entire 2009 season after suffering a serious shoulder injury.

I'm sure he'll be a non-factor in DC.

 

[bbgun]

Still not worried.

And he had no stats last year so he must have been on IR.

Looks like a 5th.

that doesn't seem like too much. but i haven't watched the rams (fortunately) for some time.

edit: ahhhh, injury issues. now it makes sense.

Agreed.

And if the Skins gave up a 5th for him, they paid way too much.

definitely with his injury issues it seems they paid too much.

 

[Woods]

So, in that context Spears could be worth a 3rd or low 2nd, no?

St. Louis Rams defensive tackle Adam Carriker suffered a shoulder injury against the Chiefs last night, and by all accounts it seems like it could be serious. The team isn't saying much about the injury, but Spagnuolo conveyed his dismay that it could be a bad situation.
If you recall, Carriker was just coming back from an ankle injury, getting into his first taste of preseason work last night...with the second team. The former first round pick has battled injuries throughout his college (didn't stop Linehan and Haslett from drafting him at #14 overall though) and professional careers.
I know the extent of the injury isn't known, but this does not bode well for Carriker's future in the league. He has officially earned the label "injury risk" and calling him a "bust" isn't out of line either.
If Carriker's injury is as serious as it sounds, the Rams would probably opt to stick him on the PUP list, starting the season with Clifton Ryan, preseason surprise Gary Gibson, Darell Scott, and Hollis Thomas at DT. That's not a great DT lineup

So 4 picks becomes 3. They more the skins change, the more they stay the same!

Doubt it, there is DL depth in the draft. They could theoretically get Bradford first and land Terrance Cody with the 2nd pick if they wanted him.
