Get a guy with tons of potential who can sit behind a pretty good vet RT for as long as needed. A move to secure the future and I like him as a player.
However, on the other hand, with how they are handling Tee Higgins and now Hendrickson, seemingly uninterested in trading them and "going for it" this year one last time with the band together, you'd think you would want to draft a player you know can contribute right away. And add in taking a tackle that needs development and our track record of developing lineman..isn't great obviously.
Though, on the flip side, this gives us one less need next year when we have to replace Higgins and/or Hendrickson.
And they already drafted Hendrickson’s replacement last year.
I like that Mims had no false starts or holding penalties called on him (if I remember that earlier post correctly).
His success or failure will be on the coaching staff because they could not ask for a guy with better natural talent to work with.
