Kansas City Chiefs sign fifth-round pick Brandon Carr
With twelve draft picks to sign and with OTA’s wrapping up the Kansas City Chiefs began the process of signing their draft picks by coming to terms with former Grand Valley State cornerback Brandon Carr. Carr was a fifth-round choice and was signed to a three-year contract.
It has been reported that the four year player from Grand Valley State has been outstanding in team workouts the last month and has a legitimate shot to crack the starting lineup.
Carr showed the same type of confidence he’s displayed on the football field through OTA’s during recent interviews and he expects to make an immediate impact on this team. It is a possibility that Carrcould start the season in New England opposite second round pick Brandon Flowers.
Kansas CIty head coach Herm Edwards has been heard saying that one of the reasons he liked Carr so much was the coaching he received in college. Does anyone have any details why Herm likes the coaching he recieved so much? Is there someone with ties to the Chiefs at Grand Valley State?
Anyway, I really hope all this hype on Carr is true.
Here is Brandon Carr’s pre-draft analysist from d2football.com
Overview and Analysis
Carr brings the total package from a physical standpoint at 6′1, 207, 4.4 40, 35-inch vertical, 6.80 3-cone, and 10′4 broad jump. His production (5 INT, 14 PBU) doesn’t hurt either. He shows the athletic ability, quickness, speed, and cover skills the NFL is looking for in a cornerback. Catches the ball well and can play in the slot or outside. He does lack physical play, doesn’t press much, and will have a tough time against quicker receivers. His senior season and pro day workouts have probably moved him up boards into the late rounds.

Carr is a beast and should have gone earlier
Yeah, I believe all of his measurables match some of the top CB’s in the draft. Hopefully his play does too.
Tell me what you're thinking...
