Renell Wren

At the combine he was the 5th heaviest (318) among the 33 "Dline" (not "edge") and not surprisingly was 5th in the bench press, but he also finished around the top ten in many of the running, jumping, and agility tests.

4th in broad jump (118")
9th in vertical (32")
12th in forty yard dash (5.01)
12th in short shuttle (4.53)
13th in 3 cone (7.65)

They said he showed a quick first step on film, but his production was lacking.  His senior year he had 43 tackles, 4.5 TFL, and 1 sack for Arizona State.

He only played 155 snaps his rookie season, and I always say you can't judge a plyer but his rookie season (especially a 4th rounder), but does anyone still have hope of him becoming the type of player who could contribute solid play in a rotation. 20%-25% of defensive snaps usually amounts to 15 to 20 plays a game.  That is a significant number of plays and could make a big difference in our defensive performance.

I will say I still have hope, but I am certainly not betting on it.  All I know is we need depth at dt.

I had more hope for Marcus Hardison coming into the league than I have for Renell Wren. 
Both were 4th round picks.
Both were about the same size in their last season in college, but Hardison was a much better pass rusher.
As we know, Hardison amounted to nothing in the NFL.
I expect the same for Wren.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

Sorry for Party Rocking!
