He’s our starting guard.

I'd have taken Creed, but if this guy was good enough at Clemson then he must be solid.

I hate it when people say short arms. I picture the player out there trying to defend like a T-Rex.

Needs to bump inside.  Won't be an above average NFL tackle.

Like Price, another T-Rex pick. Gotta love those short armed guys.

He doesn't look like he would be easily moved....

Meh.. would be loving Sewell and Msrshall right now over Chase and Carmen

Taylor says he will come in and play at guard immediately but has tackle flexibility. Not sure he ever gets to full time tackle but it’s possible.

Josh Myers at C for 69?

For what it's worth, NFL.com thinks Carman is a "good back up who could become a starter" in the NFL, 86th overall prospect:

https://www.nfl.com/prospects/jackson-carman/32004341-5219-8645-d8f8-13f7e39c03a5

His big pros seem to be good awareness, size, strength, agile for his size. Big cons seem to be lunges, struggles with speed, may be immature (weight issues, accountability problems)

Sounds kind of like Andre Smith, to be honest. Which would be a great pick in the 2nd if he has a similar career.

[tBengal]

Looks very passive. Don’t like this pick.

[DYT_Bengal]

Not a big fan - his technique is very mediocre. I still think 4th round quality - reminds me of Jordan.

[*pally*]

Zac says would have taken him at 38

[Atomic Orange]

Jackson Carman is Clemson’s highest-drafted offensive lineman in more than 40 years.

[Destro]

Copied this. I know nothing

Carman might be able to offer emergency tackle value at the next level but he is better-suited for a move inside to guard. Regardless of position, he needs to improve placement and sustain with his hands to help stay connected as a blocker. He has enough pop to handle man-blocking duties inside and has adequate athleticism to go with his wide frame to help improve leaky interior pass protection. His footwork creates unorthodox fits into the block and that will need to be corrected or NFL defensive tackles will send him crashing to the ground. His lunging, lingering punch can be tightened up with more work so that he lands his heavy hands without worrying about being countered by hand-fighters. Carman has starting potential as a guard with emergency value at right tackle.

You're aware Marshall had medical flags crop up in his physical, right?
