If that's the best option, that's a big problem.
Remember when Michael Jordan started as a rookie? He was a 4th rounder, and he wasn't making the jump from FCS to NFL.
Not saying Volson is as bad as Jordan, but there's reason to be nervous about a Day 3 pick starting as a rookie, especially on the OL and so much of the success dependent upon the health of your star QB.
It's a good point. But I want to see how he fares playing between Karras and Jonah first (with Cappa and La'el on the other side). It's one thing to have a fourth-rounder join a makeshift unit that's trying to reinvent themselves and figure things out on the fly. It's quite another when he's the clear #5 on a unit with 4 proven veterans. I'm not saying he won't still be a problem. But I do think he's in a (marginally) better spot than he would have been last year.
