<p style="background-color:transparent;">Former Eagles scout John Middlekauff would be "shocked" if Fresno State senior QB Derek Carr is not a top-10 selection in May.


Middlekauff believes Carr has the "best pure passing arm" in the class and adds David's younger brother will rise from January to May. Carr will almost certainly be invited to the Senior Bowl, which will put him on an even playing field with other top senior passers. We like that he is not falling away from pressure as much as last season, but Carr isn't traditional from a footwork standpoint.

<p style="background-color:transparent;">Former NFL scout John Middlekauff has talked to multiple pro evaluators who believe Fresno State senior QB Derek Carr will ultimately be a first-round pick this May.


Crazier things have happened, but we don't expect this to come to fruition. Carr is playing in a lateral offense that focuses on quick throws to the boundary and edges of the field, but he might be best at throwing vertically. He is very quick in his movements but tends to fall away from passes that would force him to draw contact upon release. Teams who run an offense that values tempo and quick triggers will likely value Carr more. Middlekauff did add that the same scouts currently have a second day grade on Carr, but they expect him to rise during the process.

<p style="background-color:transparent;">Fresno State senior Derek Carr has "everything you want from your quarterback from a character standpoint," according to one NFL executive.


"He's a two-time elected captain at Fresno State," The executive told NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah. "He has done a ton of community work, he's a man of faith and his family is very important to him. He has always shown resilience in crunch time on the football field. We expect off-field impact to factor into the decision making process more than ever this season, and Carr should impress the national media in the same way during the Senior Bowl and Combine.
