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

Agreed on all points.  I think the fact that there wasn't a single other defensive player from ASU drafted shows also that he wasn't surrounded by talent, either.  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.
