In my 74 years, I've never eaten a pot roast. They are done on the stove top. I've many a oven roast, done with lid on, water with the meat, and vegetables.

My best guess is to cook it till you have to pull it apart, not slice it. Lots of flavored liquid to make a broth to put in with the over cooked carrots and potatoes.
Crock it JG and make sure the water level is near the top of the meat when starting. Use the end au jus for gravy and chicken as needed...cook till 200-210 internal or do a fork test....

Done it many a time at camp in cast iron but ya can do the same in a crock pot Season and brown the meat in hot cast iron ---- place in pot ( cast iron or crock- veggies-- spices--- liquid ( I use Apple Cider or Ginger Ale mostly) Brown gravy mix( 2) --- med heat for ????? 8-+ hrs I might increase heat the last 1-2 hrs. --- Venison Pot roast. --- At Camp It's in front of the fireplace at maybe 5 am cover on ready by 6 pm. Set it and forget it. I've also used Cranberry juice , Apple juice, wine, beer, chicken stock, beef stock, coke, Dr pepper. Ginger Ale works for me------ Web

Because northerners are far smarter and superior to the ignorant rebs because we know enough not to expose the fibers to drying out so we cook entire roasts so the inside is tender and juicy.
Rebs are dumb. (self evident truth)

Brown meat (if using venison or other non fatty meat add a little butter) and add a can of beef bouillon and water. A little salt and pepper... and simmer until almost tender. then during the last hour of cooking add onions, carrots and potatoes. If you add these too early they get mush.

Frankly after reading the replies here it cements that lack of knowledge here. Most should stick to PB&J sammies and leave meat cooking to those of us who know what we are talking about.
The OP asked about Venison which is not cook like beef. (Your first tip of the day). Lean game meats like venison and Water Buffalo can be dry and tough if prepared incorrectly (the methods you jokers recommended)
The OP wants tender and juicy meat and you guys are not helping him so It looks like I need to bail you dopes out again and why the correct answer I gave earlier is "Sous Vide".
Seal your venison roast (s) after applying course salt, pepper and any aromatics you like (Thyme, Rosemary, etc)
Lard the roast with garlic if you want a real treat.
Place in the water with a souse vide machine at a temp between 130 and 138 F (your choice) and cook for 12 to 20 hours (your choice)
Cut open bag(s) and reserve the juices.
Sear the roasts in a very hot cast iron pan or use a searzall.
