It's hard to know how to rate our interior OL partly because of the extreme instability the last two seasons there.
Last season when we had MJ at LG and Redmond at RG it was a total sieve and one of the worst interior OLs in memory. When it finally stabilized the last few games with Spain and XSF it actually did its job as evidenced by stats in multiple threads. Carman is an excellent pick and while in college he was Trevor Lawrence's LT he has always projected as a Guard (and a good one) in the NFL. In fact the only G in the draft class clearly rated better was Vera Tucker.
So, a Spain - Hopkins - Carman interior OL COULD be really nice. But we need to see it in action.
