The Cincinnati Bengals selected Georgia right tackle Amarius Mims with the 18th pick, Geoff Hobson of the team's official website reports.
After signing the 10-year vet Brown to a one-year deal in free agency last month, the Bengals have the luxury of easing in Mims, generally regarded as one of the draft's top sleepers because he played only 803 snaps during his three years at Georgia.
As a freshman, Mims was a backup for the national champions and then the next season made his first two collegiate starts in the national semifinal and national title game. Last year he was limited to six starts with an injured ankle and made three of them in the final regular-season games when he returned from surgery.
