The Cincinnati Bengals have drafted offensive lineman Cordell Volson in the fourth round out of North Dakota State University. In the first three rounds, the Bengals drafted all defensive players.
The pick of Volson is the first offensive player Cincinnati drafted in the this year's draft.
At 6-foot-6-inches tall and 315 pounds, the Anamoose, North Dakota native was projected as a sixth-rounder by Pro Football Focus. His highest PFF grade (91.6), came last year against Albany. Volson's lowest PFF grade (46.8) was against South Dakota State last season.
Offensive line coach Frank Pollack said Volson will compete at guard for the Bengals.
