Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter, projected as one of the top players in the NFL draft, has been charged with reckless driving and racing in conjunction with the crash that killed offensive lineman Devin Willock and a recruiting staff member. GMs at the top of the draft, Poles included, are suddenly recalculating everything.
INDIANAPOLIS -- Entering Wednesday at the NFL Combine, the discussion surrounding the Bears was all about Will Anderson Jr. vs. Jalen Carter. Who was the better choice for the No. 1 overall draft pick? Anderson, the Alabama pass rusher, or Carter, the Georgia defensive tackle. Just before 8 a.m. Wednesday, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Carter had been present at a Jan. 15 car crash that killed a teammate and a Georgia football staffer.

The Bears and other NFL teams with top draft picks are now left wondering what to make of these latest developments and the charges that Carter faces. Carter had been frequently linked to the Bears because he's generally considered one of the best defensive linemen in the draft, and the Bears' roster is in serious need of talented defensive linemen.
