Landing the No. 2 overall player on the PFF big board at Pick 9 is a huge win for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Carter played 392 snaps in 2022 and earned a 92.3 PFF grade that led all Power Five interior defenders. He registered 32 total pressures from 273 pass-rushing snaps.
The Eagles had to give up just a 2024 fourth-round pick to make this happen.
