People tend to give him the benefit of the doubt because he was a 4th rounder.
If he was a Rd 1 or Rd 2 pick, they (likely) would be saying he sucked.

There's potentially a correlation to the fact Jonah Williams had his worst season with Volson next to him.
He was much better when Spain was the LG.


I'm not saying to bring Spain back (although I think he'd be ok depth), but I do think there's opportunity to upgrade LG over Volson.
Getting some new OT (depth at least) is higher priority though, IMO.

As much as I think the LG position with Spain needed upgraded,  Volson played worse than Spain.  The LG position in 2022 with Volson took a step back from the 2021 season with Spain.  LT was worse in 2022 with Jonah.  At RT although Collins struggled at times and didnt live up to his expectations, he did about as well as Reiff in 2021
