49ers tab Tank in draft
Florida State players continue to be a popular choice in the 2013 NFL Draft with the 49ers taking former Seminole defensive lineman Cornellius "Tank" Carradine 40th overall in the second round of Friday's NFL Draft. Carradine is the fourth Florida State player taken in the draft's first 40 picks. The 49ers selection of Carrardine comes with some risk: the 24-year-old tore his ACL in a November loss to Florida. However, Carradine's rehab went well enough that he was able to participate in a pro day on April 20. Carradine reportedly ran a 4.93 40, an impressive number considering he was only five months removed from surgery. Before suffering the ACL injury, Carradine had been on a tear. During a three-game stretch in November where Florida State played Virginia Tech, Maryland and Florida, Carradine tallied a total of 27 tackles and three sacks. Despite missing Florida State's final two games last season, Carradine still managed to finish second on the team in both sacks (11) and tackles for a loss (13).
