I am still shocked they didn't take him. We were one of the few teams that wouldn't have to start him right away, which is why I believe he slipped as far as he did. Oh, well. I don't think Faalele came out this year. Hopefully, the Bengals can snag that mammoth man next year.
I know, it is like the Orlando Brown Draft all over again for you lol
Would love to get Faalele, the monster next Draft.

Where he struggles at Tackle, which is speed rushers coming around him, he will not have to deal with at guard, as people now have to try to come through him. That ain't happening.
No shit Sled.

Yes, Zac said they think Carman is flexible enough to play multiple line positions, but Zac has said that about every OL drafted and those still on the roster competing for a position. Zac also stated the organization has a clear idea about how they want to use Carman and each OL drafted. He's said Carman can play guard at the pro level. It is apparent in the interviews with coaches that Carman is now an NFL guard.
If the second round pick becomes a starter at a position of need and has a good season, with the expected rookie learning curve, then the Bengals made a great pick.
Just call him our road grading Guard that we desperately needed that can also fill in at OT if need be.

I doubt that any NFL team uses or reads them. In the analyst table referenced earlier showing Carmen was a late 3rd round early 4th pick, he got only 8 out of 21 rounds right. 8 were off by 1 round, 2 including Carmen by 1 1/2 rounds, 3 by 3 rounds and 1 by 4 rounds. The performance would back up the doubt most have in analyst competence.
Yeah, take their opinions with a grain of salt. Carman is the best pancaking Guard in this class IMO.
