He’s inexperienced but had all of the traits you could ever want with impressive but limited film. Personally I wish we’d fire Pollack and get someone in here who can actually develop talent because Mims has loads of it.
I'd have taken Mins over Murphy. Maybe Fuaga as well. Tossup with Latham.
Limited snaps, but he isn't raw or has poor technique. When he played, he was excellent.

I would have been happy with a CB also, but no guarantee a CB beats out Turner, Cam- Taylor Britt and Hilton. Add Hill added into 3rd and long situations (6 DB's including safeties). They may also sit in year #1.
I think many forget Turner is only 20 or 21 years old. I think he will get better every game. Maybe our coaching staff feels our starting CB's are better than any CB's in the draft.
People cry for development, then in next breath throw 1 year players under the bus. Makes no sense.

Honestly I would have loved to trade up one spot and grab Turner.
But the Vikings offer was much better I’m sure.

Based on recent past history the chances of him "developing" are not great.

I assume they've had a decent o line coach in the past 30 years, though. Assume.

How do they have an actual % rise in "hate"? How do you even measure "hate"?
Disregard this.......im drinking
wrong thread
RE: ***2024 NFL DRAFT THREAD*** - BengalsLUFC - 04-25-2024
Bengals all over isn’t it ffs.
There were better players available he will play limited snap this year which is the complete opposite to what he needs.
Does anyone trust Pollack to bring him along?
The entire front office is becoming a joke.

If Amarius Mims was expected to start immediately I would completely agree with you…
…but he’s not. This isn’t a project. It’s a succession plan.

Not a fan of the pick. Just have to cross the fingers and hope.

The tape is excellent, and the guys he played against in practice are arguably better than anyone he played against in games. Mims will be alright, and could relegate Volson to the bench while Brown plays out his contract.
He's 6'7 340.He's not playing guard.I like the pick.Mims has a ton of talent.Just lacks experience.

Guess what his weakness is….. pass blocking. Amazing they took a guy who won’t contribute this year. Go all in for once instead of trying to save money down the road

How many high picks do we need to use on CBs before we are good? A first and a second during the previous 2 drafts as well as a S who may end up in the slot. Thats not including Ivey and Battle either.
They have used more than enough draft capital on those spots - now they need to coach them up and have them play up to their talent.
Time to focus on the trenches

How are you weak and never give up a sack in college?
RE: ***2024 NFL DRAFT THREAD*** - Housh - 04-25-2024
Not happy at that Pittburg pick but I will see him twice a year so ill know if i was right. Hes who i wanted before we got Mims.
Just couldnt hate the Mims pick
RE: ***2024 NFL DRAFT THREAD*** - jj22 - 04-25-2024
Pitt was going tackle regardless. Now they got a tweener.

He was actually perfect in pass protection. Remember he isn't raw just not as many snaps as some others. He also has decent technique already. The whole rap is just lack of starts in college.

I’ve done over 100 mocks and we pick the one OL player I didn’t want and never selected in a single mock. You don’t pick project players in the first round. Pro bowl players regress under Pollack. I wanted OL but damn, had our pick on defensive play makers and we take a player who will not see a snap this year. I would have preferred a Center or Newton. Hope I’m wrong but I just don’t believe in Pollack.

Right. He practiced against some talent at Georgia.

It sounds like you just be able to contribute to a team for the first 2-3 games in the NFL and some folks in this thread think you should go first overall.
I'd start a drinking game where you raise your glass each time someone demands a player who can "contribute now" but I think I'd hurt myself.
