Hello! As draft season comes to a close, the consensus top 2 players are looking to be Colorado’s Travis Hunter and Penn State’s Abdul Carter. Travis Hunter seems to be a weird one where some people think he will be primarily a CB, some think he will primarily be a WR, and some even think he can be both.
Carter, on the other hand, is a fairly prototypical weak side, pass rushing edge prospect. And a damn good one at that. Abdul Carter’s 2024 season is up their with some of the best college edge seasons of the 2020s for me.
With that being said, I was curious how you guys felt Carter stacked up with the 1st edge drafted in each of the past few drafts as prospects. Here’s a list if you were curious:
2016: Joey Boss (3rd Overall)
2017: Myles Garrett (1st Overall)
2018: Bradley Chubb (5th Overall)
2019: Nick Bosa (2nd Overall)
2020: Chase Young (2nd Overall)
2021: Jaelan Phillips (18th Overall)
2022: Travon Walker (1st Overall) & Aiden Hutchinson (2nd Overall) (because fuck it why not)
2023: Will Anderson (3rd Overall)
2024: Laiatu Latu (15th Overall)
2025: Abdul Carter (projected 3rd Overall)
