Jordan may work out, but generally 4th round picks don't.

There were 93 OL drafted in the fourth round from '01-'16.

Only 19 (about 1 in 5)) started for more than 4 years (any year with 8+ starts)

Only 18 had years year's worth of start (64).

Former Bengals Mike McGlynn and Russell Bodine were two of the 19 who were starters for 4+ years.

But, on occasion, there are guys like Clint Boling that get drafted in the 4th round, and have long and productive careers.  Sure, the odds aren't in favor of mid and late round OL having long and productive careers, but you never know.  That's why each draft is like a lottery.  You could be a big winner, or just another loser.
