Robinson make sense though IMO. Thanks for this Speedy.

You're welcome.  I realize that The Athletic has a paywall.  My daughter gifts it to me.  Really great stuff if you can afford it or have a daughter like mine.  Anyway, I'm happy to share.

While I realize that Andre is the only lineman Bengals have taken with a low RAS, he was pretty good, and Dehner qualifies his analysis by saying that Booker's other qualities might overcome low athleticism.  He does skip over the fact that the Bengals haven't met with Booker.  But I think that not signing a vet OG yet very much leaves open the possibility of a guard in the first.  A lot will depend on what Peters is looking for.  

I can absolutely get behind the character profiles of these guys.  The only time they have deviated from that model in the past several years has been Burton.  Hope that's enough to teach them a lesson.  Character is talent.
