I honestly see no way of D'Ante Smith ever becoming a starter until he can add and keep on bulk.
Leading up to the draft, Smith clearly couldn't handle power, of which many believed because he plays at 295 lbs or less.
Bengals site lists Smith at 294 lbs, but I believe that was from last year.
Some believe he's done a good job bulking up this offseason based on some of those weight room videos, but it might be just on the angles shown. We'll find out when they do their training camp weigh-ins how much bigger he's gotten.
