In the 7 years since we drafted Boling only ONE other O-lineman in the entire league drafted in the 4th round or later has more starts.  If you include Bodine the Bengals have two of the top ten on the list of most starts by an O-lineman drafted in the 4th round or later since 2011.

The claim that every other team in the league is getting great production form late drafted O-linemen is a myth.

Interesting stat, for sure, but Bodine is starting by default.  He isn't very good, and he was "Paul's guy".

I'm not saying every team gets that production, but Villenueva in Pitt is an UDFA, isn't he?  The Pats start a 3rd, 4th, 5th, and UDFA on their oline, for example, and look what they get out of it.
