You've only listed the starters and main contributors, but the players drafted to enter the rotation and be eventual starters have all been draft busts or injured. Hunt, Still, Thompson, Williamson (or whatever his name is), Clarke (did contribute last year - year 3) and Billings (who shows promise but was injured).
So there's just no quality youth being injected into this line and that doesn't bode well for the future.
This.
Bengals have used a lot of high draft picks on D-linemen who have flopped. By far our worst position in the draft over the last few years.
In 2010 we got both Dunlap and Atkins in the same draft. After that we took
'11...Dontay Moch in the 3rd
'12...Devin Still (2nd), Brandon Thompson (3rd)
'13...Margus Hunt (2nd)
'14...Will Clarke (3rd)
'15...Marcus Hardison (4th)
'16...Andrew billings (4th)
