Grade The Mims Pick!
#12

I never though trading up was realistic, given we need reinforcements in more areas than we have top 115 picks (RT, NT, WR3, CB4 + DT, IOL, TE1, NT2, P, LB5, RB).

With what was left when we picked, he was an easy choice for me. The traits, tape, and smarts all scream top 10 pick. He played against the best competition. Neutralized Bama in the 2022 title game. Gave up zero sacks in his time at Georgia. No penalties last year. And diagnoses stunts well. Fantastic pass blocker. The only real knock was the few starts/snaps. But he is not raw, he is pretty refined despite the snaps issue. Murphy only played 1 year and no one was worried there.

Thomas made no sense to me unless a Tee trade was in the works, and that seemed unlikely. #18 is too rich for WR3.

Mitchell or Arnold or DeJean would have been OK with me. We lack a true CB1 and need another boundary corner. But I think protecting Joe should be priority #1. And great corners drop into the 20s more often than great tackles. And we have drafted a lot of CBs recently.

3T never made sense to me. We just paid Rankins in FA and have Hill. And Carter. The more pressing need is replacing Reader, not drafting another 3T. There were no worthy replacements at #18.

Fautanu, Newton and Thomas Jr were the only thoughts for me. Fautanu is really small compared to Mims and is older, Newton's foot
injury must be worse than most think as he is still on the board, Thomas Jr is not the most refined route runner etc.

Agree on Nickel Corner, we have Hilton and Dax Hill, boundary Corner is a bigger need. NT is a bigger need than 3-tech at the moment
but Rankins IS only on a 2 year deal and it is BJ's last year on his contract. Would not be against trading up for a talent like Newton as 
long as we get McKinnley Jackson/Sweat later.

IOL has to be on our thoughts, we need depth. A player like Beebe today or Tanor Bortolini would make me happy, love adding to the 
trenches, but a talented WR/TE/RB could also be on our thoughts.
