Anderson and Munoz say draft Sewell if there

Marshall would fit that description, but apparently there are now some medical concerns that could cause him to fall, as reported by Daniel Jeremiah and confirmed by Dane Brugler. That will have to be able to be sorted out over the next few days.

As far as Scwartz, he's definitely fast...but he still needs work and some good coaching. He's not a guy you're going to rely on right away as a dependable boundary receiver, because physical corners are going to give him issues. He'll probably get quite a few snaps in the slot to start his career, to try to capitalize in his speed and change of direction, while he continues to develop his overall game.

There are likely other receivers that also fit the description.  Those two just jumped out at me.  

But, as for drafting players that aren't the cream of the crop at their position?  That's the entire point of having the franchise QB, that we drafted #1OA. Schwartz gets the opportunity to work with, and be elevated in his game by Joe Burrow.

The team needs to protect the franchise (Joe Burrow) by putting the money and draft capital into the OL.  Not only to protect him from pass rushers, but to develop a dependable rushing attack, so that he isn't having to seemingly pass every down.

Wouldn't you just love to see the Bengals line up on 3rd and a long two/short 3, and just hand the ball off with confidence?
