Nickel cornerback with desired size and athleticism to match up from the slot. Carter has adequate transition quickness and recovery speed to play near the line and still handle man coverage down the field. He's capable in zone, but could struggle in off-man technique. His ball skills from trail will need work but he generally maintains feel for the route. He needs to play a little more physically in run support duties as an NFL nickel but he has both the toughness and play strength for it. Carter has Day 3 draft value and could eventually find snaps in sub packages.
Gilbert has played just four games and 226 snaps over the last three seasons due to major injuries to his hip and foot that have required surgery. It takes a trip back to 2017 tape to find the player that was a draftable playmaker with confidence and ball skills resulting in 21 passes defensed, including six interceptions. With a lack of desired build and an expanding history of durability concerns it is highly likely that Gilbert will have to prove himself through an undrafted free agent route.
