Yes, 402 is a limited sample size compared to the likes of Latham, Fuaga and Fautanu, but you don't luck into a 98.5% success rate over 402 snaps unless you are talented. All indications are that if he had played 600 snaps, he would have had a similar success profile.
And, for what it's worth, this is if you treat hits, sacks and hurries as the exact same thing: a failure. But Mims was the only one who didn't allow a single sack or hit in his profile. Latham allowed 2 sacks and 6 hits in his 1016 snaps, Fuaga allowed 5 hits in his 734 snaps and Fautanu allowed 3 sacks and 5 hits in his 1332 snaps.
Mims allowed 6 hurries, 0 sacks and 0 hits in his 402 snaps.
I get that you're being a contrarian for the sake of it, but there's no way you believe 402 pass blocking snaps is not enough to evaluate a player.

There's reason to question this resume.
Looks like he faced some really daunting pass rushers along the way, not! You fellas spin and manipulate those figures all you want. We had to have an OT. He is huge and has a high ceiling. The pass rushers that he will be facing at this level don't generally come from TM, UAB, CS, Ball St, or any of the weaker SEC teams that he faced.
He will either sink or swim. Let's hope he swims.
