I know his (Mims) WR coach is now on the Bengal's coaching staff, so if they didn't want him I will trust the process.  I can't help thinking though that we took another Finesse WR when the bully (Claypool) ended up on the steelers.  

I will say this:  by his route running and hands, Higgins is the most comparable to AJ Green in this draft of what was remaining and maybe that is what they wanted.  He also has a ton of production.  

Here's the thing; what gaudy numbers did Mims put up against good competition? What team in the Big 12 has a good defense? (none of them)

What did Higgins do against Alabama the previous year?

And everyone talks about the NC, this year: average out his stats from the NC, ad you have 48 catches, for 832 yards.

If he puts up that kind of production, with AJ and Boyd in front of him, why are we complaining?
