Literally every single guy was going to stsrt at Guard. For anyone to knock Carman for that is goofy considering any 1st or 2nd roind O-lineman in this draft was going to be the RG if they won a starting role.

Pumped for the kid from GA to also fight for that G spot or just win the C role outright.

I disagree here a little PDub. 

Reiff has G experience and for a high caliber guy at Tackle, I could see him moving back to guard. (Sewell or Darrisaw)

That being said, I like the Carman pick but I can not stress this enough... I like the pick as long as he stays at Guard. I don't like him as a long-term answer at RT when Reiff's contract runs out. This is part of the issue with not getting a long term solution for tackle, yes I know they took a guy in round 4, but that isn't a sure thing and if you want to knock the Pac-12 for competition, how can you be at all excited about the non-talent on DL that played against East Carolina?

I think it was Shake or maybe Wyche that stated the Bengals just kicked the can down the road for another year instead of really going all in and just fixing it.

Next year you have Spain, Reiff and Price (not that he will be missed) all without contracts, leaving two open spots on the line. I know the team might re-sign either Spain or Reiff but if they play well there will be teams willing to over-pay with the cap expected to go up so much.
