DT. Ole Miss. Robert Nkemdiche. 24. player. 56. The Cincinnati Bengals have never shied away from players who have questionable off-the-field backgrounds. One could say this has led them to some top talents, but also a big reason why Marv Lewis remains 0-7 in the playoffs. Even so, they would instantly see the value of having not just one but two dominant interior pass rushers up front. <p>Robert Nkemdiche has lost some steam in his draft stock thanks to his bizarre marijuana incident where he fell from a fourth-story window. This doesn’t change the fact that he is a big, talented defensive lineman who brings size, strength and surprising athleticism to the table. He can win with power moves and has developed as a finesse rusher as well. Finishing is still a problem, but given time learning from Geno Atkins, he can be great.</p>
