Report: Raiders have taken embattled DL Jalen Carter off draft board

No team in the NFL would have more trouble explaining its logic of taking a chance on Jalen Carter than the Raiders.

The Georgia prospect is widely considered one of the draft’s top defensive linemen. However, recently he pleaded no contest to charges of racing and reckless driving in an accident that killed a former Bulldogs teammate and a staffer.

Driving the other car was Georgia recruiting analyst Chandler LeCroy with Carter’s teammate Devin Willock in the passenger seat. LeCroy and Willock died in the crash, and two other passengers were injured.

Police had found that Carter was racing that vehicle.
