Latham has the same number of sacks and a couple fewer total pressures allowed as Mims but 20 more pass blocking snaps. 3 sacks, 23 vs 25 total pressures.
PFF also grades his overall pass blocking reps higher than Mims (74.3 vs 58.5).
Run blocking graded basically same - 55.3 Latham vs 55.8 Mims.
Taliese Fuaga is another one.
He's at slightly higher number of sacks/TPs allowed (5, 27) but nearly 40 more pass blocking reps.
Run blocking graded much better at 70.3.
We'll see how all 3 pan out, but so far they're all relatively close to each other - solid for rookies but none great.
I liked Latham as well and would of been fine with him as the pick, same with Fuaga. Thanks for the grades. I still like Mims upside
more than either and that was why he was my guy for the future. Will be interesting seeing how they all play over the years. If Mims
got a decent RG next him I think it would help. Cappa looks washed and has given up.
I would bench Cappa and move Ford over to RG once Orlando comes back.
