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.

      I mean, that sounds good. I will say that I kind of cringe when people say we overpaid for for an O-line because if you want the best players, or even quality players on the O-line, you're going to have to pay. They were proven players, one arguably the best at his position in football, so you're going to back up the Brinks truck. I don't see it as overpaying as much as I see it shifting your priorities in light of your situation and market conditions.  Now with an RB, those generally are easier to get and easier to replace, especially if you have a good O-line. We could've let Chuba walk and still kept rolling a lot easier than continuing to roll the dice on backups starting on the O-line. I can't even remember who was available, but I'd bet that there was someone available who could replace Chuba's production. That being said, we've been told in this thread that Chuba's contract was structured in a way that facilitates minimal pain if we decide to move on from him. If that's so, then it was smart and someone in the FO had a little foresight (and probably understands the PR side of things, as well as the pure numbers side).
