I love that we selected Carman because of his attitude because that's what this team needs, especially on the offensive line. I just hope that it's infectious and spreads to the other offensive linemen and the defensive linemen that he blocks in practice because the last things that any competitive football player wants is to (a) be shown up by a teammate, especially a rookie, or (b) to be pushed around by a rookie.
I agree we needed depth at RT and needed to get a guy to develop, but I'm so excited about what Ossai brings and how he'll be able to improve our pass rush that I'm ok with not taking Brown. It does put us in a tricky situation next season if Reiff walks after this year, but let's hope he stays or that we can sign another quality free agent.
Posts like yours keep getting me more and more excited for the season! I hope that training camp is open to the public so I can go down in the tunnel at PBS to meet Burrow and some of these other new guys and drop some crippled jokes!
mike brown talked to Paul Alexander about Carman before the draft.
