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.



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.

This is Lance Zeirlein break down of Dyami Brown NFL.com.

Quote:Overview

Feast or famine deep-ball specialist with build-up speed that surprises cornerbacks who are tardy to open and run with him. Brown is a little thin, but has good length and excellent ball-tracking talent with the ability to follow the flight over his shoulder and bring it in for the score. He's a willing combatant when his quarterback allows him jump-ball opportunities. However, his lack of short-space foot quickness and agility allows coverage to hitch rides on his short and intermediate routes, which could limit his overall effectiveness as a pro. More importantly, he simply doesn't display trustworthy hands, which could cause quarterbacks and coordinators to lose faith if it's not corrected. Brown's talent to extend the defense has value, but he could have a limited ceiling as a scheme-dependent outside target.

No Mock Draft is perfect even the ones your saying Dyami Brown goes second round but the chances of a good offensive lineman being there at #38 or even #69 without reaching is better than a Boundary WR. If the Bengals feel they need a high quality WR then Ja'Marr Chase is the best bet to get one.

As for what I did in the mock I traded back from 5 to 9 and gained 40 and 152. I took Christian Darrisaw who I have as my OT2 and then Joe Tryon and Daviyon Nixon at #38 and #40.
