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.

      What's your confidence level in Canales?

      Getting any level of competition and cohesion out of this roster is a job well done.

      Not sure if anyone else is watching this D1-AA championship game but I don't know if these receivers have NFL athleticism but they got HANDS. These boys can flat out CATCH. This is a good football game.

      People on here are wrong all the time. I mean some of our best draft picks people didn't like initially due to various reasons. On the other hand there have been a multitude of decisions made by people who are paid very well to know what they're doing that some Panthers fans here saw as a mistake a mile away. Well look man let's put all the chips on the table. Because your grievance is particularly about the QB position. The Panthers have had only two long term starting franchise QB's in 30 years. Thirty years. Two. This fanbase has seen a hell of a lot of poor to mediocre QB play and even short lived fairy tales like the Kyle Allen win streak or going back even further Matt Moore. As far as Darnold and Mayfield goes I think they are certainly overachieving but I don't think anyone here that was critical of either of them were wrong. They both had a heaping portion of humble pie here that has served them greatly now. Mayfield in particular because when he first got here he was still a cocky idiot. Darnold at least kept his head down and did his job for the most part. But I have a hard time seeing either of them going far in the playoffs because in the midst of some of their best games I've seen the same flawed QB's. Darnold is no Nick Foles let's be real with one another here. Baker specifically looked like hot garbage against our defense in Charlotte recently. And those best teams in the playoffs have all that on film and damn well know about it too if average fans like us can see it.
