SI.com Day 2 Bengals Draft

[Benton]

I really don't know enough about Thomas, but I doubt Ridgeway lasts that long in the third. There's a lot of DL talent this year, but like with every position, once it starts to go, it's going to go quick. That said, I'm not high on him. He's a defensive version of Andre Smith — another guy I wasn't high on — with the same knocks. He's great when he wants to be. The rest of the time, people scratch their head and say 'well, maybe he's injured' or 'maybe he's just taking a couple plays off' or 'maybe he just isn't hitting the gym.' Whatever the case, I don't trust him to be consistent enough.
