Draft Rewind 2008 - Carl Nicks - Tampa Bay Buccaneers

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about CARL NICKS: Nebraska, 6047 341 5.21. One year starter. Junior college transfer. Started career at New Mexico State as a defensive tackle. Huge man with good feet. Has some physical skills to go along with his brute power. Long arms and big hands. Flashes a powerful punch. Has the power to put a defender on skates. Generally plays with a good base. Has some first step quickness. Can be effective on the second level if he takes good angles. Played left tackle, but is more likely a right tackle on the next level. Undisciplined player that has a questionable work ethic and mental toughness. Draft status will be affected by numerous off field issues. Boom or bust. OSR:5/42. Fourth/fifth round. (A-34 3/4, H-10, BP-31, 10-1.83). (originally drafted by New Orleans in 2008)
