I give the pick an A+.
He was the best tackle in the draft, IMCO, and only fell because of his lack of starts and that ankle injury, which appears to be a non-issue.
6'8, 340 lbs is something that you can't teach and is just a mammoth of a man.
I think that not having to start right away will also help his game improve and help him grow as a player.
My grade also comes from the stance of need in the draft and protecting Burrow should be our top priority, and I also think Mims has the most potential in the class.
I wanted Bowers because I thought he'd be an outlet that would help to protect Burrow and we could get a tackle later or Murphy, but Mims is who I wanted with those two gone.
Like I said, my grade is an A+, but please give your grade and an explanation (if you'd like).
I had to be up at 5:30 this morning to present to a school an hour away, so I just got home and had DoorDash deliver me Skyline, but I'll post more after I eat.
Went with an A, why not an A+? The lack of snaps is all. As far as upside there wasn't anyone close in my opinion. But Pollack
makes me wonder if Mims is polished enough, the film says Mims is polished enough though. We will see, Mims was by far my
favorite pick with Murphy off the board even if I liked Fautanu for us as well. Being a bit dinged up and lack of snaps are the
only things keeping this pick from being an A+ IMO.
I would of been sad if we passed on Mims, too excited to see him become a great player. We might never see a talent like this
again, as we will probably be picking at the end of the first for the foreseeable future. 6'8" 340 pound athletic freak with smarts
and great balance?
You just don't see this often at all at 18. I am happy we got Amarius Mims. The age of Amarius it is lol
