I feel like he's extremely light, but that he has two big things going for him.
Firstly, there's proof that there's a place for undersized, explosive guys in today's NFL. DeSean Jackson and Tyreek Hill come to mind, instantly. DeSean plays at 5'10, 175 and Tyreek at 5'10, 185. Both a bit taller and heavier, but DeSeaon came into the league at 169. There's some room left on Brown's frame to put on a bit of muscle, as well. I think that's the main reason he's consistently slotted towards the back of the 1st round. If he had Tyreek's height and weight, he'd be gone by 15.
Secondly, he'd really be an addition to our roster. Adams is a slow possesion guy, Allison is a slow possesion guy, Moore is a slow possesion guy and MVS and St. Brown both have some speed, but they're long striders who have to get into top gear. He'd be the perfect complement to our group of receivers. Someone who can take a screen to the house, but also take the top off of a defense on a double move.
That doesn't take away the concerns you mentioned, though. It's just that those concerns are the reason he could still be around at 30 and, stacked up against other potential players still there, I'd take that chance.
