I don't want to be negative Nancy, but I worry about his production against the best competition.  He only got 4 receptions for 33 yards against OSU.  He had 3 catches for 52 yards against LSU.  He got fat stats pounding a lot of duds in his conference.  I like the guy, but I was bummed at the numbers he put up on his pro day...mid 4.5s is ok, but a very pedestrian 31" vertical doesn't show for much explosiveness.  I wanted Mims because I thought he could generate near immediate separation and he was a stud the week of the Senior Bowl, all while learning new routes.

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.
