NFL.com had Carman as their 86th prospect.
TDN had Carman as their 69th prospect.
CBS Sports had Carman as their 51st prospect.
PFN had Carman as their 80th prospect.
Carman may have lasted to 69, but very likely wouldn't have lasted to 111.
Given the Bengals got Ossai later than he was expected to go, it's less of a reach if you think of the Bengals taking Ossai at 46 and Carman at 69.
Yeah, PFF also had him at 48...and SI's Draft Bible made this statement / prediction in March -
'Jackson Carman is a top-32 talent and should be selected earlier than people expect. Players like Jalen Mayfield, Liam Eichenberg, Dillon Radunz and Alex Leatherwood are all talked about in the same tier as him, but Carman’s tape is a lot better than all of them. He checks the experience box, has the versatility to play guard or tackle and still has room to grow, which will be scary for NFL defensive ends. The media is sleeping on Carman. Once he shows he is healthy, Carman will start moving up draft boards. How high does he move up? As noted, Carman is a top-32 talent, and it wouldn’t be shocking to see him go in the back half of the first round or early in the second. He is that talented and will be a difference-maker early in his career.'
