We chose him with the 55th pick in the 2nd round.

His draft profiles are as follows:

8th overall OT

So he was considered in the latter half of the top 10 OT prospects, was given a range of 2nd to 3rd round by most everyone here and he turned into one of the best LTs we've ever had.

And the guy who scouted and drafted him, Paul Alexander, thinks Carman can do the same thing Whitworth did.

I say give him a chance. No need to shit on the guy before he even plays a snap for us.

So Alexander hit on 1 pick in 15+ years and suddenly the guy is a genius?
