Being able to identify players with the talent to make it in the NFL and fully develop them into competent starters is more important than ever, as the NCAA is putting out fewer and fewer plug and play ready prospects. If you think that I don't know what I'm talking about, consider this; Fred Johnson, Bobby Hart and Michael Jordan are all currently employed as OL in the NFL.
Obviously the people picking the talent for the Bengals aren't knowledgeable enough to identify which prospects have the traits and talent to look good at the college level and which ones have what it takes to become a household name in the NFL. We can complain about coaching and schemes and such, and they may be suspect as well, but it all starts with providing the coaching staff with bodies who are qualified to get the job done at the fundamental level of the game.

Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
