Dane Brugler's scouting report on Jaylon Carlies from his draft guide: 17. JAYLON CARLIES | Missouri 6026 | 227 lbs. | 4SR Orlando, Fla. (West Orange) 9/13/2001 (age 22.62) #1 BACKGROUND: Jaylon “JC” Carlies (CAR-lyes) grew up in the Orlando area. He started playing football at the Pop Warner level and came up through the “Wake Up Mentoring” program created by his mentor, Dante Johnson. Carlies originally attended Olympia High School in Orlando and saw v arsity reps as a freshman. He transferred to West Orange High School for his final three seasons and was a standout wide receiver, setting the school’s single-game receiving record (241 yards). As a senior, with college programs potentially looking at him on defense, Carlies asked his coaches to play both ways as a recei ver and safety. He lettered in track (sprints and relays) at West Orange and won the silver medal at the 2019 state championships in the long jump (22 feet, 8 inches). Carlies also set personal bests of 10.99 seconds in the 100 meters and 23.29 in the 200. A three-star recruit, Carlies was the No. 63 athlete in the 2019 recruiting class and the No. 135 recruit in Florida. He picked up his first Division I offer, from FAU, in the spring of his junior season (April 2019). Carlies added offers from Bowling Green, Cincinnati, Liberty, Marshall and Maryland. The summer before his senior season, he received a much-anticipated offer from Miami, his favorite team throughout childhood. Missouri, however, was the only program to offer him as a defensive player. Missouri defensive coordinator Ryan Walters (now the head coach at Purdue) once saw Carlies going through defensive drills during a July practice and recognized his traits and potential as a defensive back. Still considered a Miami lean, Carlies visited the Missouri campus midway through his senior season and decided it was the best place for him — even if it meant moving to a new position. He was the No. 10 recruit in the Tigers’ 2020 class, which also included his high school teammate, Tyler Jones. Carlies, who was roommates with Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in college, played cornerback as a freshman before moving to safety. He accepted his i nvitation to the 2024 East-West Shrine Bowl. STRENGTHS: Impressive size/speed athlete with cut-up muscle and a remarkable wingspan … carries seam speed stride for stride and covers a lot of ground in a short time (21.88 mph speed was the fastest during Shrine Bowl week) … matches up well with size in man coverage versus tight ends … does wide receiver-like things at the catch point, which is to be expected given his background on offense … eats up ground downhill and is a competitive run defender … physical hitter and can lay a lick while at top speed … has a strong batting average as a blitzer and times his pressures well … zero penalties in 2023 (and only two in his career) … played on punt coverage all four seasons and logged 465 career special-teams snaps. WEAKNESSES: Linear athlete and hip stiffness shows up with sudden changes of direction … underdeveloped zone instincts and lacks a great feel for spatial relationships in coverage … late to find his balance as an on-the-move tackler and overruns angles … comes in too hot and occasionally opts for the big hit instead of the secure wrap … his misses leads to run-after-catch chunk plays … inconsistent playing through contact and needs to be more forceful punching off blocks … had more missed tackles than tackles on special teams the past two seasons … missed the 2023 season opener with a soft tissue injury he’d battled throughout fall camp. SUMMARY: A three-year starter at Missouri, Carlies was an interchangeable safety in former defensive coordinator Blake Baker’s 4-2-5 base scheme. A high school wide receiver, he moved to cornerback as a freshman for the Tigers and safety for the last three seasons. He had nine combined interceptions over that span and led the team in tackles as a junior and senior. Carlies is an impressive straight-line athlete who can fill downhill in the run game and play physical man coverage against size. However, he islate to key run/pass from depth, allows too much spacing in off coverage and tends to be a 50-50 tackler in space. Overall, Carlies has the length and speed that catches your eye, but he isn’t an overly instinctive player and might be stuck between being an oversized safety and subpackage linebacker. For most defensive schemes, he projects best as a box player who can man-up tight ends and blitz (and also play on special teams). GRADE: 5th-6th Round -
Tyrone Tracy Jr. is gone. Still good backs left though. -

Would be a solid way to end it the draft. Been thinking Milton would be a great QB to come take Ehlinger's job. No threat to Richardson, can learn from Flacco for the year.
