The guys you mention would be quality depth to develop. I was glad to see the Bengals hired an additional offensive line coach to help the guys develop behind the starters.
You definitely could potentially move Carman to OG.
I think he could succeed there, at least serviceable.
I think LG is specifically a better fit for him.
Maybe they take the approach of Hopkins being the C and Carman, Adeniji, or Smith covers OG heading into the draft.
Then, depending on how the draft falls, Hopkins may be able to be moved.
The one thing I don't potentially like about that strategy though is relying on a rookie to start and do well.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
