Hard to call a guy a bust this early in his career.

It takes more time for a college OL to transition to the NFL game then say a CB or WR or even a DL. Most guys on the OL struggle their first season in the league and for Carman the struggle is greater since he also had to deal with being injured and losing reps.

Problem is, even if the Bengals invest heavily on OL in the 2022 draft, most those guys won't look good till the end of the 2022 season of more likely the 2023 season. 

They're going to have to find a way to sign multiple starters to hold down spots while allowing Carman and anyone they draft next year to develop behind them.
