I've already done a mock where I posted a pass catcher in Rd 1, so I decided to do one where Sewell was the selection.
1) Penei Sewell, OT Oregon (6'5", 325 lb) - Bengals don't take the risk on waiting until 38 to get a guy who can take over RT in 2022 after Reiff's contract is up, so they play it safe and go Sewell even though a pass catcher is appetizing. They could choose to play Sewell at OG as a rookie, which could be especially valuable since he didn't play football in over a year.
2) Dyami Brown, WR UNC (6'1", 195 lb) - Good deep threat who is a real playmaker (20 YPR). Also perfectly willing to go across the middle in traffic. I like the idea of putting Brown with Higgins and Boyd.
3) Jackson Carman, OL Clemson (6'5", 345 lb) - Massive guy who covered LT duties at Clemson. He struggled some with edge rushers and his arm length is under 33", so he likely needs to move to OG. I really like Carman coming in to compete for one of the OG positions, and he can play OT in an emergency.
4) Patrick Jones, DE Pitt (6'4", 264 lb) - Ideal fit as a 4-3 DE who showcased a variety of pass rushing moves, athleticism, and bend in college. Needs work to getting off blocks and add strength, as he can get beat by a single defender. By having Hendrickson and Hubbard, Jones can be part of a rotation while he continues to bulk up and work on his improving his deficiencies.
5) Marlon Tuipulotu, DT USC (6'2", 308 lb) - Versatile IDL who can play both 3T and 1T. Very sound, well-rounded player who wins with leverage. Tuipulotu can rotate with Ogunjobi as a rookie. If Tuipulotu is not here at this pick, I think there will be a few other DTs worth taking.
6) Alaric Jackson, OL Iowa (6'5", 318 lb) - Played OT at Iowa, but has a severe lack of length to stick outside in the NFL. However, he has the athleticism and ability that he could develop into a good OG. With ideal development, I think he and Carman can be the Bengals' starting OG tandem of the future.
6-HOU) Evan McPherson, K Florida (5'11", 185 lb) - Arguably the top K in the draft. McPherson had a career 85% FG percentage with a long of 55, so he has the leg and accuracy needed. Jose Borregales from Miami is another strong option.
7) Tony Poljan, TE Virginia (6'7", 265 lb) - Big TE who used to be a QB. He had steady production at Virginia, putting up 907 yards and 10 TDs on 71 receptions between 2019 and 2020. He's not very fluid or athletic, but he will probably appeal to Taylor as a big blocker who can also be a safety net at TE3.
Zach Davidson TE Central Missouri 6'6 245 ran a 4.62 40 and can punt also....rather a flyer on him in the 7th.
