Da'quan Bowers still not drafted..... Dude was projected to be a possible number 1 pick, or atleast top 5 but his knee(s?) are scaring teams away. I read teams have completely taken him off their draft board and wouldn't even select him at 2nd Rd either.
His knee(s?) must be FUCKED up or there's gotta be some kinda long term problem with it. He had micro or arthoscopic surgery on his knee, I forget which one, but he claims it's healed and everything is fine. He had to get a medical recheck again in Indianapolis so he could prove to teams that he can pass a physical and that he is fine but reports said 2 things and I dunno which is true but one said he was fine and checked out fine and other said his knee(s?) aint completely healed and he might possibly have arthritis in the long term.
Sucks for bowers going from possibly number 1 pick to maybe not even drafted in the first round. That's so much money to be lost. He's still gonna be rich but he coulda been dumbass rich over just bein rich lololol. Number 1 pick atleast gonna get like 40mil guarantee or something close to that compared to being picked in the 20s that would be like 10-15 mil guarantee. Depending on the new CBA n if there's gonna be a rookie wage in the new CBA.

looks like a solid pick!
There are numerous questions surrounding Carpenter following an underwhelming performance at the NFL combine. Carpenter showed up on the heavy side in Indianapolis and struggled to lift 23 reps on the bench press before getting hurt. His Senior Bowl performance was also fairly nondescript as he was moved over to right tackle. He was not a highly regarded player when he arrived at Alabama, taking over at left tackle for former No. 6 overall pick Andre Smith. Carpenter quickly blossomed and started the last 27 games at left tackle for Alabama, earning second-team All-SEC honors as a senior. A late bloomer who joined the Crimson Tide out of Coffeyville Junior College in Kansas, Carpenter was a major factor during Mark Ingram's Heisman Trophy-winning season in 2009. Alabama coach Nick Saban's pro-style offense and zone-blocking scheme are considered huge assets to Carpenter's development as a pass blocker. However, there are nagging concerns about a sprained ankle in 2010. Carpenter's stock may not be what it could have been, but he should not slip further than the third round.

ok, thought so.. thx IPIM for confirming.
i been hella paying attention to mock drafts n shit as of late n didnt see no james carpenter on any mocks in the 1st round.
plus like u said carimi is still on board, and he came a from an offense that lead the nation in rushing, i believe. he needs to work on pass protection but i hear his run blocking is one of if not the best in the draft.
