He is a liability on our line. Could he improve? Sure. Is that a guarantee or even a better than 50/50 chance of that? No. There is a hope based on the few that have done it before while I look at the many that have not. 

There is no reason not to bring in competition for this guy plain and simple.

If we draft a OG in round 3 and he does way better in camp would you still want to start Carman over him just because?

  

Where are you arriving at this conclusion that there isn't even a 50/50 shot a 2nd round pick improvesin their 2nd year?  I went from pick 33-44 in the '20 draft and there are only a couple of players that didn't statistically improve from their rookie season to '21.  If anyone cares to put in the work on that statement, they would completely blow it out of the water.
