The Buffalo Bills faced losses of key defensive players in free agency, leaving their defense in need of some reinforcements. DeWayne Carter, a defensive lineman from Duke, was selected to bring youth and college experience to the team’s defense. While Carter may not start right away, he is expected to see playing time early on as a rotational player. With Ed Oliver and DaQuan Jones as starters, Carter will have the opportunity to showcase his skills as an interior pass rusher.
Carter is described as experienced, fluid, relentless, and quick, qualities that made him a standout player at Duke for three seasons. However, his performance dropped off in his final season, possibly affecting his draft position. Despite this, Carter’s addition to the Bills’ defense is seen as a positive move.
Overall, Carter’s selection is given a grade of B. This news was originally reported on Draft Wire.
