A pleasant surprise would be to actually see someone like Austin Corbett or James Daniels added. While I, and others, have thought both make sense, I don't think any of us have considered someone of that price range a lock. Bengals just typically haven't paid that much for an OG before.
An unfortunate surprise would be signing Bozeman. I don't see him as a scheme fit at all. Not very athletic at all. He works well if he can stay focused on driving off the LOS though, but don't trust him moving laterally.
I like Bozeman > Allen all day despite the scheme fit.
Bozeman had the #2 best pass rush win rate for all Centers and this year was his first playing center in the NFL. So maybe he takes another step this year...? You are not wrong regarding athleticism and scheme, he isnt going to be the greatest as a pulling blocker, but he will for sure get us that yard on 4th and 1, or on the goal line.
He's still young, very bright. I dont think the scheme fit would be to much of an issue unless we also picked up Norwell, then it would be obvious with those 2 running wide.. but straight runs would be very effective and they would create a pass block wall.
