If they drafted Robinson, his total rookie contract would be a little less than what Mixon will make this year. IMO, that's one helluva value trade-off, especially if he's the talent that everyone thinks he is. 

I think there are a few backs in this draft that would be really nice fits, but if a back like Robinson were to fall in your lap at 28, I don't know how you pass on him and what he could bring to this offense. 

I don't think he'll make it to 28, but if he does, the Bengals better have that card turned in within 5 seconds!

And once his contract is up, we'd have to replace him as he would get priced out of our range. I'd much rather draft a player that we could get into a 2nd contract with at a valuable position and not have to over pay for a position that is by everyone's standards cheaply replaceable.  

Now I'm personally hoping he's there, just so we can see what the Bengals do.
