It is not the worst outcome. I'd say a quality backup with the potential to be a starter is a good outcome for a 2nd rounder. Obviously, you want some guys to develop into quality starters (Higgins, Bates, Mixon). But guys picked in the 30s vs 40s-60s is a significant difference. Carman hasn't even had a full year at tackle yet. Closing the book on him right now is ridiculous.
Carnan has shown he can play at a quality starter level in a huge road game(s) in the POs. By year 2. There were some maturity issues early on. But he is not a fully developed player yet. He could get significantly better.
Scharping & Ford were 2nd rounders. Carman is already better.
