Team ready to compete now drafting project players not ready to step in and make the team better.
Those players have surface level stats that rope in the surface level fan….no sacks for mins and no interceptions for Lance.both on one, shortened season.
By the time Mims is ready to start, hopefully next year, he will have played 7.5 games in 5 years. One year starter and was injured in that short span. No way he endures a 17 game season. Just no way.
His frame is truly impressive, not many guys carry that weight how he does. That’s because the human body isn’t meant to. Hence the injuries.
There were players on both boards where the noners or bengals could have upgraded a position of need.
Bottom line is: super bowls are won on the margins, you hit those margins by going all in….plugging holes on Super Bowl rosters because those rosters don’t last long. This one is already starting to unravel a bit and this pick doesn’t help hold it together at all

And 21 games played, 8 starts, nice try.

You sound like the one in your feelings

Zac Taylor points out Mims practicing at UGA was a big deal. All the work he got against the top Bullodgs DL for years and reports on how that went played a big role.

Bengals fans have been begging for more athletes on the OL. Can't deny they got one. https://t.co/7IMWU1IOpc

film I saw amazing balance and a player that was built like the perfect human being at 6'8" 340 pounds. Mims is smart which
is the number 1 thing you want in OL, he can play all over the OL and should start at LG over Volson and be an upgrade.

The perfect fit for RT when Trent Brown gets hurt or when he leaves. Fantastic pick. A+ for Amarius Mims OT Georgia

Volson competition will come later in the draft or in FA.
