Carman is only 21 and has serious strength and upside, but I don't know about his development. He seems to be a bit stubborn as though he has always done it this way and has been viewed as a very good lineman. I question his work ethic and desire more than his outright talent, and that is too bad because he has flashed massive potential, but there is nothing more detrimental to a young talent than a lack of desire or coachability.
