When Bill Frickin Lazor has to demote you, it's obvious you've rested on your laurels one too many years. I don't understand why 32 teams would ask him his opinion on players these days. I can understand them consulting him for measurables and athleticism....as to whether they translate to NFL caliber starting linemen, I'm not sure I'd seek his input on that.

In fairness, Paul Alexander was extremely respected as a talent evaluator around the league.  Other scouts at Pro Days would literally just sit back and watch PA run prospects through different drills.  He had some big whiffs at the end of his run, but he used to be money with 1st and 2nd round picks.

I tend to think Mikey asked him about Carman first because they were locked in on Chase at 5 and already had Carman high on their board in the 2nd.  It wouldn't really make sense for Mike to ask out of the gate about someone they didn't have high on their board.  I don't buy for a second that Mike overuled Tobin, Zac, and company based on nothing but PA's recommendation.
