Caelen Carson Draft Profile:
- The 'Good' from Chat Sports' Tom Downey (@whatgoingdowney on Twitter):
Strong in press, fast on field, high compete level​​.

- via The Athletic's Dane Brugler:
Carson needs to prove he can stay healthy and be on the field for a full season, but he has the competitive athleticism and football IQ needed for coverage duties in the NFL... Offers inside-outside versatility and projects as an eventual NFL starter.
GRADE: 3rd-4th Round

- via PFF:
Carson lacks the long speed/recovery speed to play island coverage. He can be a CB2/3 as an off-coverage defender in a zone-heavy scheme, bringing good downhill closing speed and reliable tackling.

- Downey's 'Bad':
Can be slow to react off the snap; Needs to improve footwork; Struggles with agility against fast receivers.
