Bengals d-lineman taken in the 4th round of the draft since 2000:
Carl Lawson (looks to be the real deal, just needs to get healthy again)
Andrew Billings (maybe not great, but was the Bengals most improved player last year according to PFF iirc)
Geno Atkins (potential Hall of Famer)
Domata Peko (long time starter and defensive leader of the team)
Robert Geathers (pretty good career as a Bengal)
So many people said "the next Matthias Askew" when we took him, but why focus on the one 4th round d-lineman we missed on when we've had all those successes listed above? I didn't even mention Ryan Glasgow and a lot of people like him, too. They seem to know what they're doing finding DL talent down there, so I'm hopeful when it comes to Wren.
That said, if I'm looking for a rookie on D to make the biggest difference it'll be Pratt.
