Thanks for your support!
Special teams player, possible fit as a safety. I don't think he has the speed to be a CBProfootball weekly report:
Positives: Plays the ball well in front of him and will jump routes. Smooth mover with good fluidity and can ride the hip of receivers. Good production on the ball notched 10 interceptions the past two seasons and has good hands and body control to adjust in air. Attacks the ball like a receiver. Competitive run-support defender. Has a blue-collar mentality. Lines up as a jammer. Cares about the game and puts the time in to work on his craft.
Negatives: Lacks elite long speed to carry receivers down the field. Not explosive out of his breaks and has average recovery speed and burst to function outside a short area. Not a physical tackler gives up yards after contact and takes some questionable angles. Has a 31-inch vertical jump.
Summary: Can contribute right away on special teams. Has the toughness, competitiveness and short-area burst to step into a bigger role in a defense that features predominantly zone coverage.
NFL projection: Fourth- to fifth-round pick.
Carmichael has plenty of speed, which is the most important commodity in the NFL. He has fluid hips and very good agility to mirror wide receivers in man coverage and shows the ability to recognize tendencies and jump routes in zone coverage.
Harris is a true gamer that is at his best when the lights are on and he has the tools to become a starting cornerback at the next level. He excels in man coverage, as he is explosive with an elite closing burst and he has very fluid hips to maintain speed in transition
4.39 in 40 isn't cb speed to you??
More than anything this pick tells me the Texans are moving Quinn to FS. That's #1. It relieves some of the pressure off Brandon Harris creating more competition, hence depth @ CB. I also did not realize that Carmichael ran that fast (4.39) @ his pro day, my draft guide (ourlads) had him listed with his combine time of 4.56. I like his interception production too, having 10 during the past two seasons puts him into elite company. I understand the pick, think its solid, Texans have two 5th rd. picks to address safety & nose tackle

I just don't know anything about this guy.
We might be looking to change our coverage philosophy.
There is playing speed and track speed. I think he has more track speed.
This is the first pick this year I dont love. I dont dislike it, I just think we could have gone elsewhere. NT, FS, ILB, OL, WR, QB, are all positions I would have preferred to pick here.
Thanks for answering that, everything I saw on him was above 4.5 on the 40
Not a bad pick just everything past the 3rd round you have your fingers crossed on them. A bit surprised they went defense again and they are definitely setting up competition for the secondary, I'm just hoping they don't give up on bring in some vets to help school all these kids.
By the way, whenever your 40 time gets cut by over .1 seconds and almost .2, you have to check to see who's holding the timer especially when its the schools pro day.
You're funny!
You have to have a philosophy to change it.
I wonder if some of these CBs are being chosen with the mindset that if they don't work out as a CB, they may be plugged in as a S. Don't know if I would agree with an approach like this, especially when Joseph is looking for twin type of safeties.

I've read where, some feel that in order to be able not to be a run D liability, he will need to put on some significant weight and bulk to transition into the NFL. In fact, I read this about our other secondary pics. It doesn't tend to bother me with most other positions, but with secondary and WRs, I tend to wonder what effect this will have other aspects of their performance.
I've gotta go with the "let the front 7 stop the run" crowd. If we're worried about CB's stopping the run, we have other issues to address. IMO, they'll do much better tackling with some back to basics coaching. I hope and pray our d coaches take that approach and stress fundamentals like tackling through the ball carrier and wrapping up.
