I apologize if these threads are annoying but I love digging into prospects this time of year. There used to be a lot more draft talk on this board but this year is lacking. I'm just trying to create some conversation about some of these players. It's always fun when you discover a player that stands out and you've never heard of him beforehand. DeAndre Houston-Carson (DHC) is a perfect example.

Playing at a small-school, DHC dominated his competition. In four seasons he recorded 293 tackles, 10 interceptions and 9 blocked kicks. He has great size for a NFL safety. Shows off his quickness and impressive acceleration when closing in on tackles. Dissects plays well and knows when to attack. He also has experience at CB and it shows in his coverage skills. Due to his lesser competition it may take a season or two for DHC to shine at safety but he will undoubtedly make an immediate impact on STs. 

He is projected to go in rounds 4-5. The Colts are the only team that has met with him based on what I've read.

Keep em coming.  Always good to incite discussion on someone you're interested in.  My only thing is breakdowns would be better to formulate opinions with than highlight reels.  I've been taking the names of people mentioned here on the forum and going to draftbreakdown.com to do real research.

Pretty incredible speed and short space quickness for a safety (4.5 40 & 4.28 20).  I like that he's physical and brings a 'CB mentality' to his coverage skills as a safety.  W&M has some talent that has come through there over the years, so I will def put him on the radar if we bypass safety after the first 2-3 rounds. 

I don't know enough about him if he is good against the run.  That's so important and expected from our safeties to stack the box and blitz the QB.  His speed and quick twitch athleticism should help with pressure, but wonder how he would be against NFL running backs and tight ends. 

Regardless... great find!!  This is one of my favorite times of year too Tyler.... 1 month to go.

      2024 post mortem

      By PadresPanthersFan · Posted

      The coach- Canales was a rookie hc and at times looked like it. But he did manage to revamp the offense, helped Bryce not look like the biggest bust of the draft, exuded positivity,  and made the panthers watchable again. We have a viable head coach for the first time since rivera The gm- Morgan had some hits and some big misses. Hits- the ol, Coker,demani, dj at first. Misses- almost every d player signed, brooks, the jury is out on x. I get what he was trying to do with brooks/Hubbard but it blew up in his face. Hopefully he learns from his mistakes. But he did trade mingo for a 4th, managed to get a 2nd rounder this year from the Rams and I am a fan of constantly churning the bottom of the roster The draft- x can be a solid player but not until he catches the ball, brooks was a high risk pick that didn't work out, Wallace, demani and Chau Smith can be solid contributors and showed glimpses, Coker and jt should be mainstays. And flipping a 7th round lb that was about to be cut for Jackson was a great move.  The offense- had its ups and downs but Bryce has turned from one of the biggest busts in nfl history to a potential franchise qb, that change is worth its weight in gold, thielen was crafty and underrated as usual, Coker was a gem, jt was the solid but has some growing to do, and Hubbard has been awesome, the o line was much improved as well The defense- well...they set records, injuries, poor coaching (imo), bad playcalling and just plain sucking this defense needs everything to change, we need horn and Jackson back and we get brown back but we need bodies and an identity. If they can do with the def what they did with the o then we can challenge for the division bc we already have some pieces there.  Overall- this was a growth year full of questions and some of the major ones were answered(qb, coach). For the first time in a long time the season didn't end depressingly and I do have cautious optimism for next year. But they need to learn from the mistakes of 2024 and if they do I like where this team is headed. On to the draft and 2025
