Any thoughts on WR Dyami Brown, UNC?


Recommended Posts

Ran 4.44, not quite as fast as I hoped.

But it would be nice to have a speedy WR ready for an expanded role by 2022.

Speed is an easy way to take attention away from guys like Diggs/Beasley.

Burst and ball-tracking made him an excellent deep threat in college.

 

Joe Marino says the catch is he needs to expand route tree and add functional strength, both of which he can take his rookie year to work on. He'd certainly have some excellent veteran route runners to learn from!

Can play slot or outside.  Is a deep threat.  Brings little ST value as never played on them.  Would fit better if he had return capability or gunner experience.  Only chance to make 53 would be to beat out one of the Isiaahs - Hodgins  or McKenzie as 5th/6th receiver.

 

Likely a 5th Rd pick if he gets picked by the Bills.

Chris Simms put him in his top 5.  He does not understand why there is not more talk about him but said there were other people in the scouting world that liked him too.  So, where is he available?  Maybe he's a similar draft value to Gabriel Davis.  I like the idea of a trade down that gets them 5 in the first three rounds.  It's easier to get good prospects at WR, CB, DE, OT and S or IDL that can make the roster and contribute over the next 4 years after Josh gets his megadeal.

Brown would be a great fit, especially as a guy to learn for a year under Diggs and Sanders. He’s fast although not a pure burner, but the kid can vary speed on deep routes to twist DBs. He has a knack for throttling up and down to set up a DB before high pointing the ball. He’s also not afraid to truck a safety to get a first down. Needs to work on routes, but he’s talented. His personality would also fit well into the locker room.... he along with Carter and Williams have that shut up and out work the competition mindset.

I think he'll be a good pro. 

 

I also think if you're drafting for 2022 and beyond, and also recognizing that WR isn't as immediate or glaring of a need, I think you can get away with drafting more developmental types later in the draft.

 

Seth Williams and Josh Imatorbhebhe (both probably a little higher than the rest), Ihmir Smith-Marsette, Jonathan Adams, Tamarrion Terry, Jalen Camp and Mike Strachan are all guys who would be really intriguing in the 5th or 6th rd...

On the other hand, Chris Simms has him as WR 3, and views him as in the same category as Chase and Devonte Smith. Based on his track record, I’d side with Simms’s analysis.

Does any WR drafted have any shot at making this team this year other than a practice squad slot? If the answer is no aren’t they just better going UDFA? 

Pass catchers on this roster consist of Diggs and a bunch of JAGs.  Of course there’s room for a talented rookie.

How so?  If a 34 year old WR who will be playing on his fourth team in 3 seasons is expected to be a key contributor, there’s plenty of room for a talented rookie.

Chris Simms I think had him as like the #4 rated WR in this draft. He is a solid evaluator. That being said I see him as a top 45 pick.

 

I have also said don’t be surprised if the Bills grab a WR at 30.... but I still think they will lean defense, DE. My guess now is Joseph Ossai Texas.

I see where you are coming from.... Beasley and Sanders are getting older. Davis is coming into his 2nd year. WR I feel, for this offense in the next couple years is a huge demand.

I'd rather find a WR who can return kicks/punts too...someone like Dwayne Eskridge.
