This behavior was such a stupid decision by everyone involved.  Unfortunately it was also very tragic.  Even if he somehow gets out of this with minimum legal consequences (and I do not think he should), do not see how any team could trust this guy.

Leaving the scene?????  He was drinking (my opinion)...and had no concern for his friends.

 

 

Can he play football at an elite level? The NFL has a long history of looking the other way on pretty much anything and everything else if you can.

I saw a report the he did not have alcohol in his system at the time. How the knew that after he left the scene I do not know. Unless the officer tracked him down within a half hour of the wreck.

Alcohol stays in the system longer than that, and from what I heard on ESPN, he returned to the scene after a couple of hours.

This will definitely drop him out of the top 5 I would think. But I could be wrong. 

You could be correct, just depends on how much more bad news comes out pertaining to the case..

I have not heard the full details about the incident so I was speculating.  I also do not watch ESPN.

The fact that he left the scene could really be a damaging factor in the courts as well as how certain NFL Team view him in the draft.

So, what are you saying? Should he pay for the rest of his life including jail time and be banned from the NFL?

Well… it’s on front page of BBC now 

Jalen Carter: NFL hopeful accused of racing in deadly crash https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-64805539

Tragic, but not something that should end his career before it even starts. People need to remember these are kids. He was probably still riding high after winning the national championship and feeling invincible, like almost all of us at that age.

Someone is going to get a hell of a player if he drops far, like Sapp back in the day or Tunsil more recently.

Say we sign Carr and Jalen Carter is on the board at #9 do you take him?

In that situation? Maybe. If I thought I had a good chance to get a good qb I would say hell yes.

Unless you think Carr is taking a major paycut I don't see how we still take a QB. Carr would need some weapons around him.

Carr doesn't change the future plans. He would be a now plan. Meaning they would not have to go all in to trade up. They would go bpa at 9 and if it's a qb great. It would allow them to consider another developmental qb outside of the top 3 to sit behind Carr to develop as his backup for the time being.

Yeah leaving the scene while your friends die in a crash you contributed to is an awful look. And that combined with his lie make it pretty likely he was hiding something. 
 

I’d have some serious reservations about drafting someone after that.

I think this could end up keeping Chicago at 1.  They will certainly want Will Anderson now and he could definitely go to Zona at 3.

This could help us if Zona will move down after missing on Anderson

How is Carter even responsible for this accident the staffer was driving the car drunk and made the decision to race even if Carter was right behind them which it sounds like that’s the case cause his car was struck by electric cables from the telephone pole breaking he did not cause the crash and doesn’t have a legal obligation to stay. He would have been tested and charged with dui
this is going to turn into a civil suit with a staffer partying with players driving a car leased to the university

I think his talent outweighs a charge for racing. Although it led to someone's death, and that is extremely unfortunate. I dont believe teams will see this as criminal activity or risk to his involvement in the league. 

Players do not get suspended for racing or reckless driving.

It doesn't outweigh someone dead.
