4. Dyami Brown

Rewind back to the 2021 NFL Draft, and then-North Carolina wide receiver Dyami Brown was on many Chiefs fans’ mock drafts. The Washington Commanders eventually selected the former Tar Heel at No. 82 overall, far above Kansas City’s reach in that draft. If the team liked his profile out of college and feels he still has potential, now might be the time to take a chance on Brown.

Brown sees the field sparingly for the Commanders, especially in 2022. Nagging injuries hindered his on-field role, and he only exceeded 20 snaps in a game once. He is far down the depth chart, especially with so many players similar to him. Curtis Samuel and Jahan Dotson both have similar builds and skill sets to Brown, and both of them will have more opportunities in 2022. In 15 games, Brown recorded five receptions for 143 yards and two touchdowns for the Commanders. Despite inconsistent quarterback play, Brown was the quintessential deep threat.

One interesting factor about Brown in Washington is the ascension of a college teammate, quarterback Sam Howell. He will likely be the Commanders’ starter in 2023 if Washington gives the 2022 fifth-round pick enough time to adjust to the NFL. Both Howell and Brown had their best collegiate seasons with each other, so will the Commanders want to keep Brown for Howell’s sake? The two are working together this offseason, so it is not that crazy of a question.

New Commanders offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy might like Brown’s skill set, but there are certainly plenty of other receivers like Brown on the team already. Washington will have little trouble replacing Brown’s five catches in the 2022 season, and any reputation Brown has right now is built off of potential. If the Chiefs believe in that potential, they may be able to use a Day 3 pick and give Brown a new start in Kansas City.
