Yeah, I'm sure that when Latham went #7 to the Titans, it pretty much ruined your night.

It would be different if he looked bad at times in the limited film. Then I would understand. Guyton for example did not impress 
me at all in his film and he is getting great grades for the Cowboys.

I gave the pick an A+, only because he isn't in a position where he has to start day 1 and I think that his ceiling is much greater than most. I listen to the guys on NFL radio, and they say that Mims still has some technique issues to clean up. Things like getting overextended on run plays and over committing to a direction in pass pro. There are virtually no "perfect" prospects, but I do love Mims for his upside and feel like sitting behind another behemoth like Trent Brown for even a while can only help him complete his development.

Mims was a 5 star that acquired a top notch learning foundation at Georgia.

If people are going to spout silly stuff Im here to educate.

I never understood the sudden fascination that many draftnicks had with Penning that year. Even from watching his highlight reels, it was apparent that he was just a big fish in a small pond. However, when a man has those measurables is seems worthy to at least take a shot on him.

Fingers crossed the lack of snaps don't hurt to much.

I've already explained the reasoning for my grade. So I'll just wrap up with I'll be excited to see this glorious beast dominate all through the preseason, before humbly accepting his seat on the bench to watch and learn from a true professional.
