Carman is listed as a Tackle.Which is a little puzzling.There were a few really good Guards on the board when he was taken.This transition is probably going to be his biggest challenge.

Carman's profile fits better to Guard. I do have my reservations about him actually staying outside.
I think he'll be a good Guard.
Right Guard was the biggest draft need when you looked at the Bengals roster. They needed a big wide body mauler that could open lanes for Joe Mixon on the strong side but also nimble enough to add versatility to their run scheme. Jackson Carman fits that profile to a T. They also took another guy while less athletic fits that description with G/C versatility Trey Hill.
