Turns out Carmen is a pretty good steal. Volson has far exceeded expectations. So the Bengals coaches actually have done well with their OnLine starters.

Imagine actually believing this. Takes a lot of brain power to buy into that narrative. I’m impressed
How in the world can anyone think Carmen was a steal as a 2nd round pick chosen before future All Pros, while Carmen cannot beat out ANY player at any positon on the oline?
I like Volson, but not sure how he exceeded expectations? Did everyone expect him to be rated below #66 among guards, and that 65 rating is far exceeding those expectations? He did beat out that "pretty good steal" 2nd rounder, but his PFF scores are not good, not even average, and must improve this season.
You sound like you may be the official Bengals Oline evaluator of the last decade. Without checking, I would venture that we are the absolute worst in drafting olinemen in the last 10 years or so.
