The Cincinnati Bengals are known as a team with perhaps the best wide receiver room in the NFL right now.
Funnily enough, that theme continues in a new offseason exercise that reset the entire NFL via a first-round mock draft.
There in the randomized order, the Bengals selected wide receiver AJ Brown at 29th overall, via Touchdown Wire’s Doug Farrar:
“A team that was previously loaded at wide receiver, the Bengals continue on that route with the dominant pass catcher AJ Brown. A consistent producer for both the Titans and Eagles, Brown will be an elite physical presence for the Bengals offense.”
Brown just put up 1,496 yards and 11 touchdowns on a 17.0 per-catch average in Philadelphia, so it’s not hard to see why the Bengals might invest early in him.
Elsewhere in this exercise, Joe Burrow went second overall behind Patrick Mahomes. Ja’Marr Chase went 16th.
