- In a segment on the Network's 'Path to the Draft', Mayock introduced Carriker as "a guy personally I like more than most people do". He has "the best use of hands of any defensive lineman in the draft; very strong and very good hand placement". "Spacially", Mayock added, Carriker "reminds me a little bit of Howie Long".
- Mayock also reiterated a major reason why Carriker has shot up so many draft boards: versatility. "He can play in a 4-3, he can play in a 3-4, he can play anywhere up and down the line of scrimmage in any scheme".

- "The 2007 running back class has been characterized by many as being Adrian Peterson, Marshawn Lynch and not much else. Jackson is one of several backs competing to be among the next group selected at the position. After electing to leave after his junior year, Jackson needed to work out well to separate himself from the pack. His performance at the Combine was solid, but with his forties being electronically timed in the 4.56-4.58 range, scouts were looking for a little more explosiveness. With a pair of low 4.4 times during Nebraska's March 7 Pro Day, Jackson provided exactly that."
