When Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter decided not to visit with teams not drafting in the top 10, there were two possible explanations: (1) his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, is trying to speak a top-10 selection into existence; or (2) Rosenhaus knows with certainty that a team in the top 10 will take Carter.

The fact that Carter has decided to personally attend the draft seems to suggest it’s the latter.

Really, why would Carter be in Kansas City waiting to be picked if he believed that the wait would be long enough to make him look foolish for drawing a line at pick number 10?

The broader NFL business is driven in large part by relationships. And given that Rosenhaus’s firm represents more players than any other, he’s in position to work 35 years of relationships in a way to secure the certainty that he needs, in order to properly advise Carter.
