Duron Carter to Oakland?

On our Twitter feed (@_IFFDA ), we listed our Top 4 landing spots for CFL standout WR Duron Carter. Carter recently signed an NFL contract putting him on the IFFDA free agency map. He is the son of NFL Hall of Fame wide receiver Chris Carter. The list we were talking about looks like this:

Former CFL WR Duron Carter

5. Seattle Seahawks - GM Ryan Oldham has gone on record in saying that the 'Hawks have interest in Carter. They make the list for the simple fact that they have huge interest in the wideout, but they're at the bottom of the list because they may just simply not have the cap space to truly contend for Duron's services.

4. Carolina Panthers - The Panthers are not one of those teams (Seahawks) who want Carter but may not have the money to acquire him in August. General Manager Doug Auman has remained very mum on the upcoming plans and direction of the organization, and nobody knows what they'll do with the first overall pick, let alone if they're in the running for Carter.

3. Denver Broncos - They acquired WR Marques Colston in a trade with the Falcons, but you have to think at this point the former NFL 7th rounder is just a one to two year stop gap at the position. The only other wide receiver the Broncos have on the payroll is Anquan Boldin. With Boldin (34 years old) and Colston (31 years old) as their only two WR's and an estimated $120 in cap space, they should be major players in the Carter sweepstakes.

2. Buffalo Bills - After trading away Megatron to clear up a ton of cap space and getting much younger, the Bills will continue to look to build on a youthful foundation. Buffalo is also home to WR Reggie Wayne. If Wayne retires this offseason, look for the Bills to put that money to use by trying to acquire his replacement.

And the number one landing spot for free agent WR Duron Carter?

1. Oakland Raiders - The reigning IFFDA champions have a TON of cap space heading into the free agency period. If they want Carter or not remains to be seen, but if they do, they will be tough to compete with on the open market. With Jordy Nelson being the only stable piece to their receiver group heading into '15, surly the Raiders will be looking to add some talent at that position as they try to defend their title.

Player Profile: Sammie Coates

Height: 6'2
Weight: 201
College: Auburn
Position: Wide Receiver

Career Stats:
2014 - 34 Rec / 741 Yards / 4 TD's
2013 - 42 Rec/ 902 Yards / 7 TD's
2012 - 6 Rec / 114 Yards / 2 TD's

"A physical specimen, Coates has the size (6-feet-2, 201 pounds) and speed (expected to run in the 4.3 range) to be a mismatch nightmare downfield. He has room to improve the details of the position, including his route running and how to use his body to leverage defenders. But above all, Coates needs to improve his concentration through the process of the catch to be more reliable securing grabs and eliminating the drops. There is no question he is unpolished, but the athletic traits, measureables and potential will be very attractive for NFL teams." - Dane Brugler, CBSSports.com

 "While Coates certainly has his limitations and his concerns, at the end of the day his size/speed/strength factors are simply too great to ignore. Coates has an NFL-ready frame with great straight-line speed and the athleticism to come down with contested catches. His hands are a definite concern, but if Coates can improve at high-pointing the football and gain separation more consistently as a route runner, some team is going to have themselves one heck of a receiver come draft weekend." - Jon Ledyard, ProFootballSpot.com

Player Profile: Mike Davis

Height: 5'9
Weight: 223
College: South Carolina
Position: Running Back

Career Stats:
2014 - 982 Rush Yards / 9 TD's / 32 Rec / 368 Rec Yards / 2 TD
2013 - 1,183 Rush Yards / 11 TD's / 34 Rec / 352 Rec Yards
2012 - 275 Rush Yards / 2 TD's / 4 Rec / 35 Rec Yards

"Davis has a good burst to hit the hole before it opens and accelerates to the second level of the defense. He has a nice gear to break into the open field, but he doesn't have breakaway speed to score on any carry. Davis has surprising quickness for a big runner and can pull away from some defenders, but NFL defensive backs will be able to chase him down at times." - Charlie Campbell, WalterFootball.com

  "Mike Davis is the kind of RB prospect that can get overlooked or undervalued in the draft process. He's a shorter, bowling-ball type body with a 'vanilla' name (and yes, that does factor in on a certain level). He's a lunch pail and hard hat type RB prospect, but that sells him short of what a true all-around, naturally gifted, three-down player he is." - RC Fischer, ProFootballSpot.com

Player Profile: Tony Lippett

Height: 6'3 
Weight: 185
College: Michigan State
Position: Wide Receiver

Career Stats:
2014 - 65 Rec / 1,198 Yards / 11 TD's
2013 - 44 Rec/ 613 Yards / 2 TD's
2012 - 36 Rec / 392 Yards / 2 TD's
2011 - 4 Rec / 44 Yards

"Unlike most athletes with his height, the 6-foot-3, 185 pound Lippett is a fluid athlete, capable of changing directions and accelerating smoothly to handle coverage responsibilities. Given the way the value teams are placing on long, lanky cornerbacks in today's NFL, Lippett's pro future could lie on that side of the ball although he was the Big Ten's leading receiver." - Rob Rung, CBSSports.com

 "From a route running aspect, he can  join an NFL team and be ready to contribute. He shows the smarts to set up defenders and get himself open and in the proper position to catch the ball.  Physically though, he has a ways to go. I am afraid he is going to struggle at maintaining his route discipline when corners get their hands on him.  I also think he may be better suited as a more possession type receiver in the Brandon LaFell mold.  He is a long strider but I do not see elite speed to be a downfield threat on a consistent basis." - Chris Burk, Sports Illustrated

Player Profile: Tyler Lockett

Height: 5'10  

Weight: 180
College: Kansas State
Position: Wide Receiver

Career Stats:
2014 - 106 Rec / 1,515 Yards / 11 TD's
2013 - 81 Rec/ 1,262 Yards / 11 TD's
2012 - 44 Rec / 687 Yards / 4 TD's
2011 - 18 Rec / 246 Yards / 3 TD's

"Arguably the top wideout in the conference, Lockett doesn't look like much, but he runs like the wind with sudden footwork in his breaks to create separation before, during and after the catch. He is a smaller target with a limited overall catching radius and smaller hands that will lead to double catches and him fighting the ball at times. However, Lockett is very dangerous in space, using his quick, decisive feet to sell routes and speed to stretch the field and take the top off a defense." - Dan Brugler, CBSSports.com

 "Lockett's NFL prospects will be limited by his size. A few costly drops here and there won't help either -- against Auburn, he turned a touchdown into an interception by failing to corral the football. Out of the slot and especially in the return game, though, Lockett has enough juice to impress an NFL team. He may not be Devin Hester, but the overall package is similar." - Chris Burk, Sports Illustrated

Player Profile: Jamison Crowder

Height: 5'8
Weight: 175
College: Duke
Position: Wide Receiver

Career Stats:
2014 - 85 Rec / 1,044 Yards / 6 TD's
2013 - 108 Rec/ 1,360 Yards / 8 TD's
2012 - 76 Rec / 1,074 Yards / 8 TD's
2011 - 14 Rec / 163 Yards / 1 TD

"Crowder is an exciting, dynamic football player who is talented enough to win at all levels of the field. For a player with limited size, Crowder is still able to beat press coverages and get off the line of scrimmage with quick and shifty moves into his route. He has outstanding burst and acceleration off the line and can blow by defensive backs to take the top off a defense. He tracks the ball well downfield and is a big-play threat." - Rob Rang, CBSSports.com

 "Crowder is a sneaky good athlete that draws comparisons to Wes Welker for good reason. He may not have the elite long speed that some guys his size do, but he gets the job done by playing a very crafty game inside the numbers. At the end of the day, it’s impossible to overlook his production at Duke and the role he played on an offense that needed every bit of help it could get." - Joe Wedra, NFLMocks.com

Player Profile: Brett Hundley

Height: 6'3
Weight: 227
College: UCLA
Position: Quarterback

Career Stats:

2014 - 3,155 Pass Yards / 22 TD - 5 INT / 644 Rush Yards / 10 TD's
2013 - 3,071 Pass Yards / 24 TD - 9 INT / 748 Rush Yards / 11 TD's
2012 - 3,745 Pass Yards / 29 TD - 11 INT / 355 Rush Yards / 9 TD

"Even more impressive than Hundley's elusiveness and acceleration, however, is his vision and poise while buying time in the pocket. Hundley feels pressure well and is willing to step up and re-set while keeping his passing options open, critical for long-term success in the NFL. Hundley has the physical traits to explode as a dual-threat passer in the NFL, and the mental toughness so critical for success at the next level." - Rob Rang, CBS.com

 "A very good all-around athlete, Hundley fits the modern demand for dual-threat quarterbacks who can make plays with their feet. He accelerates well into the open field, shows the cutting ability to make defenders miss in space and uses his size well to finish forward through contact. The knock on him is accuracy." - Matt Miller, BleacherReport.com
