It wouldn't hurt him to try him at RT. He could end up being an even bigger steal. Or, he could move back to guard. But I have seen enough of Adeniji and Smith is not reliable.
What is your solution for RT next year? Hope? Overpay a FA with cap space they will need for other players?
Draft a RT, there will be 2 where we draft and another that proved he could make the transition. We cant live off an oline full of free agents.
If we draft Torrence, Schmitz or Avila they push Volson out and then try him at RT I guess....but if he wasnt great vs speed in a phone booth I don't see how he could be better on an island?
As to Volson at RT in college, this is from the link above: "Volson wasn't asked to pass protect all that often at North Dakota State, especially in true dropback scenarios."
