#Bengals select #JacksonCarmen goes home to #Cincinnati A bruiser with NFL-ready power and strength who is
ready for the league right now in that department. The questions
with him revolve around speed and quickness to the edge

I’ll go with the former scout for 3 different teams that feels Carman has “NFL ready power and strength and is ready for the league right now in that department” (ie OG). The knock on him is against speed off the edge. But he’s ready to step right in and start at OG right now.

Don’t trust the just one scout? Well, in a poll of several other scouts Bob McGinn did for The Athletic, Carman is the 2nd best OG prospect in this draft after AVT. When the only player ranked ahead of you at a position is a guy who went in the1st round (and a team traded up for), you’re obviously talking about a player that’s expected to come in and start immediately, and make an impact.

Scouts that @BobMcGinn talked to for his The Athletic piece on OL had the following for guard rankings:
1. AVT
2. J Carman
3. A Banks
4. K Green

Of remaining OL, T Jenkins (5), L Dickerson (6), and Carman (7) are the highest ranked by those scouts.https://t.co/zZjx8qMFez

Maybe because Pollack said it?   He said it's going to take some work, things come faster on the inside.  

I'm sorry, but it's tough enough to come in and start in the NFL, to switch positions on the line is going to make it a little harder.

I think he can get it done, but we've seen this before,.
