While he's really good, Clemson just doesn't have a great track record of OL doing well in the pros. Their last 3 are:
- John Simpson (drafted this year, 4th round, Raiders). Jury, of course, is still out.
- Taylor Hearn (UDFA from 2018, played 4 games and is out of football). 'nuff said.
- Tyler Shatley (UDFA from 2014, has started a few games here and there for Jags). Is the Jags version of Scott Kooistra, only he plays G rather than T.
Again, I'm not saying Carman can't be a good player in the league, but if I'm drafting someone high from Clemson, it is a defensive player or a WR and I'll try and snag OL 3rd round or later.
EDIT*** Just revisiting this now; if not for the fact that Sewell is BEYOND dominant, a sure thing and a complete force at OT, I would've shied away from him as well, as Oregon has similarly not produced a good Olineman since, well, ever lol. Ok fine, Max Unger in 2009, but that's it (Kyle Long was NEVER good and only got by on his name; I still can't believe he made 3 PBs...).
