Bengals selected Arizona State DT Renell Wren with the No. 125 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.
Wren (6’5/318) started only one season at nose tackle for the Sun Devils, graduating with 14.5 career TFLs and three sacks as a dominant run stopper with pocket-pushing flashes. Only an honorable mention All-Pac 12 pick in 2018, Wren generated hype at the Combine with 78th-percentile SPARQ results, and 30 reps on the bench. Wren confirmed his elite get-off burst with a 1.76 ten-yard split. Wren offers Akiem Hicks-level upside if he can improve his technique to become more consistent down to down.
He can play the run. He can provide an interior pass rush. He was a 4th round pick because he needs to work at n technique and consistency. If he didn’t need to work on those he would have probably been drafted higher.
I like the pick. If he is open to coaching and learns from his line mates I think he’ll be a good player for us

I mean it is only one year, he is young and is a great talent for our D-line coach to work with.

I am not saying he would have been a first round pick if he was lined up next to Dexter Lawrence, Clelin Ferrell, etc, but it sure wouldn't have hurt him, either.
Yes, if he is getting doubled all the time cause the other DT isn't very good it is hard to overcome.
