Another big issue is how many of those snaps were actual true pass sets?  NDSU's passing game is very heavy play action out of I-form with the TE in tight to at least help chip the DE.  It isn't an offense that's going to be giving up many sacks in general.  They allowed 13 sacks in '22 and 17 in '21.  

Adeniji's issue coming out of college was anchor/play strength.  Moving him inside to block bigger, stronger DT's is playing towards that weakness.  KC actually exploited it by putting Jones out on the edge against him on a number of snaps.  Volson's main issue is handling speed and athleticism.   

That is based on some scouts projections.  He never had a problem with it in college at RT.  He consistently graded in the mid 80s to mid 90s in both run blocking and pass blocking.  We have never seen him attempt RT in the NFL.  RT generally deals more with the big rushers, and not speed anyways.  Watt is the exception to that and he destroyed everyone we put on him last year.  

The Bengals put Volson at LG because they had a need there with Carman struggling.  Entirely new position for him, and he was solid after a shaky start.  Now the Bengals have a huge need at RT and I want either a veteran or someone like Volson over a rookie at the end of round 1.  Can't afford another Oguehi.
