How it looks right now

And the majority of the case, that's actually not the case. Reader is a 2 down DT. He comes out typically during obvious passing downs and we bring in an extra pass rusher, not a backup DT. 

I agree, he is a 2 down DT. Doesn't that lessen his value. He is no Jones, Wilkins or Leonard Williams. All are 3 down DL.

The Bengals can find a run stopping 2 down DT for a decent price in my humble opinion. I like Reader, but he is one dimensional, great at run defense, no so good against the pass.

Bad decisions get made by teams in desperation. I hope of FO stays disciplined in building the entire roster.
