Draft Network, CBSSports, ProFootballFocus all had him in the top 50.  Almost all the others I find have him listed a second round pick.

i can say whatever I want because I make everything up.

Luckily, I kept track of 11 mocks during the draft process. Carman's final average was 57.3 (which is R2-3 according to most measures). He generally fell between 60 and 80 (PFF 83, TDN Harris 72, PFN Cummings 49, McShay and CBS Wilson didn't have him in the first two rounds at all, etc.. but Walter Football provided the outlier by slotting him at 17). 

Regardless, there were many IOLs with a higher mean across mocks and solid R2 grades that were still there at 46. We "knew better".
