Kadarius Toney who was is more of a Y/Z (at least half of his snaps in the slot) went #37. I could have majorly reached for Dyami Brown but he wont go high second and is more of a low second high third round guy because he is a slight build, with build up speed, suspect hands, and not really a 3 level target you want on the boundary. I dont believe Brown will be a good fit for the route concepts the Bengals run he needs to be in a Air Coryell not really the West Coast.

Well a board mock isn't real life... it's fans of one team trying to guess for 31 other teams to start with...but... more importantly

If you go Sewell and you don't get Marshall or Bateman or Toney and think it is too soon for Brown, that means a ton of defensive talent is there at 38 since the OL run will happen between 24 and 33 (in real life) and if all the WRs are gone, really good edge rushers and IDL guys will be pushed down. So you take one of them and get your WR in 3 or 4, like the kid from Iowa you like or Sage Surratt from Wake or Shi Smith from South Carolina. There is boundary WRs in every round of this draft that can be the 3rd target and get deep.

So if the Bengals get Sewell and they can't get one of Marshall or Bateman, I'm in favor of trading back to get an extra 3rd.
There will be a a glut of talent in Rd 3, specifically IOL and DL. They can take Dyami Brown in the 2nd after trading back, and then have an extra 3rd Rd pick to put toward pass rush and/or OL.

If they trade back and take him that's great. Hell I'd be okay trading back in one and in two, we need picks upon picks to fix this roster.

I stand by my statement though, that Brown is going to be one of, if not the best WR to come out of this draft and you won't have to spend a 1st to get him.

He actually has good hands (even though someone else said they are suspect they aren't watch the tape and read the reviews, his hands are not questioned), he gets great separation, he takes on defenders and fights for yards. The knock, he doesn't have a complete route tree because he wasn't asked to run one. If you have the natural ability, you can coach up routes. 

3 to 4 years from now, when you look back at the draft people are going to ask how he went after all these other WRs that will be underachieving or just out of the league.
