Cincinnati?EDTShareTweetShareShareBreaking down the Bengals’ selection of Jordan
Brown in Round 7Chuck Cook-USA TODAY SportsVery rarely do the Bengals dabble in
the FCS during the NFL Draft. Last year, they spent a fifth-round pick on
cornerback Davontae Harris from Illinois State, who went on to make the final
roster and play in three games. This year, they concluded their draft with the
selection South Dakota State’s Jordan Brown, another cornerback.As evident by
how the draft panned out, the top of the cornerback class was not highly
regarded. But 31 of them ended up getting drafted. Brown was No. 28 to come off
the board and will enter a cornerback room in Cincinnati rich with talent at the
position.What Brown brings to the BengalsBall production: In his four years with
the Jackrabbits, Brown accumulated 35 passes defended and eight interceptions.
27 of those passes defended and six of those interceptions came in his final two
years. Even against low-level competition, that’s elite production that you want
in a cornerback prospect. He was also a former wide receiver, so you know his
ball skills are legit.Explosive athleticism: An NFL combine invite, Brown jumped
39.5” in the vertical jump and 128” in the broad jump. At his measured size of
6-0 and 201 pounds, that is elite explosion. He isn’t the fastest player at that
size
Carlos Dunlap Jersey White , but his ability to break on routes makes him an intriguing off-coverage defender.Leadership: This has been a clear theme this
year. The Bengals have done a good job in this draft of investing in
well-respected locker room leaders and Brown is no exception. In his final
season, he was elected as a team captain and has been praised for his maturity
as a player. He never missed a game once he earned a starting role in 2016.Why
the Bengals selected BrownPositional value: Quality cornerback play is obviously
incredibly important; depending on who you ask, it’s even more significant than
a defense’s pass rush. The Bengals were pretty set on depth at the position, but
Brown adds to it nicely for where he got picked.Future flexibility: Once again,
Darqueze Dennard is entering a contract year. The Bengals were content with
letting him walk this offseason but managed to retain him for a price much lower
than expected. That may not be the case next year. If it isn’t, Brown can be a
piece that eases the blow.Low-risk upside: Very rarely do FCS players, even
studs like Brown, become long-term contributors in the NFL. This is mainly due
to lack of opportunity and Brown may never get the chance to prove himself as a
starter, but his production and athleticism are both great selling points for
his future outlook.Spread the wealth: With their previous nine picks, the
Bengals essentially addressed every other position group, with the exception of
the secondary. No harm in throwing cornerbacks coach Daronte Jones a bone before
the draft ended. Brown actually being a quality player is the cherry on top.

not unusual for an assistant coach on a Super Bowl team to arrive in town for
game week with a head coaching job lined up with another franchise. It is an
awkward situation necessitated by NFL rules that prevent a coach from being
hired by another team until that coach’s current team has completed its season.
In this Super Bowl, that awkwardness involves New England Patriots linebackers
coach Brian Flores and Los Angeles Rams quarterbacks coach Zac Taylor.Could

his approach to crisis management is to get out in front of a crisis, then let
