The Buffalo Bills might have gotten themselves a steal in DE Alex Carrington out of Arkansas State who they selected with the 72nd pick overall (3rd round).  He is a big guy at 6’5″, 284 pounds for an end but he is also very quick off the edge as he can run a 4.8 40.  He lived in opposing backfields his last two seasons.  Carrington is a workout warrior who is only a mean streak away from being a truly solid DE in the NFL.  Carrington played in 12 games (all starts) for Arkansas State last season and he finished up with 41 tackles, 14.5 tackles for a loss, he had 9 sacks, 1 forced fumble and he recovered 1 fumble.  He played in 44 games (42 starts) in his four years at Arkansas State and he had 146 tackles, 40.5 tackles for a loss, he had 21.5 sacks, batted down 3 passes, he forced 3 fumbles and he recovered 1 fumble.  Carrington has a nice upside and the Bills could give him a chance to play right away.
