Jonah Williams was considered the safest OL prospect in the 2019 draft.
He was not a bad selection at all.
He just was not considered a blue chip prospect.
If he had been, he would have very likely gone before the Bengals picked in that draft.


Carman also may not end up being a bad pick.
He might just have been miscast at other positions other than LT, which was the only position he played in college.
We knew it would be difficult for someone who had played LT their whole college career to shift to another position.

The swings and misses seem to be on these late-round OTs. But they're late-round guys for a reason...you're kind of looking for a needle in a haystack.

Get OL early and/or get veterans to have your best chance to have quality OL.
And maybe stop trying to put players at positions they haven't played much of in college.
