James Carmon Offensive Tackle

This guy will be raw as raw can be. He might have a year at LT under his belt, but it was in a gimmick offense that rarely threw downfield.

I don't think he was notable as a LT except for his size. He does have a bit of a mean streak, and he came back from a gruesome-looking knee injury (turned out to be an MCL sprain) suffered in the Auburn game after missing only one game, so I think he's pretty tough.

Worth a shot because of his size and passable athleticism. Addison Lawrence, who played RT across from Carmon will probably get a look as well, but it's pretty telling that Lawrence didn't get flipped over to LT in favor of a converted nose tackle.
 
Let's use today's 2012 NFL Draft Prospect Profile to look at a player who could fall into that third day/UDFA category. James Carmon, an offensive tackle from Mississippi State is an intriguing player with size at 6-foot-7, 330 pounds and athleticism. The Giants have worked him out, so let's get to know a little more about him.



Wes Bunting of the National Football Post sees Carmon as a development project. He points out that Carmon is a JUCO transfer and former defensive lineman who spent just one season at offensive tackle. Bunting, though, likes Carmon's athletic gifts.

"He's a gifted athlete for his size who at worst is worth a developmental/free agent grade. He's the type of lineman I would love to have/develop on my practice squad for a year and see how much he can develop."

NEPatriotsDraft.com points out that Carmon faced three probably first-round picks in his lone season at left tackle -- Dontari Poe of Memphis, Melvin Ingram of South Carolina and Courtney Upshaw of Alabama.

Mike Garafolo reported recently that the Giants like Carmon's "physical and nasty" disposition.

Ourlads calls Carmon a "developmental player with tools."

Thoughts, Giants fans?
