I just see a Terrell Owens starter kit with this guy.

This zoomed out camera really helps to see some of his routes better. He could end up being the best guy in this class with some good coaching.

 
I just got round to watching his tape after the combine. I don't get why he was never talked about as a 2nd rounder (minimum)
 
I am scared of Baylor WRs but Mims will be an exception for me,our scouts will know all about him too.
 
I like Mims a lot and he reminds me of the kind of receiver the Packers like to draft. I think Mims will be better than Gallup. But I think if the Cowboys sign Cooper and Cobb, there is no chance they draft a WR and I don't care who it is.
 
Hardly a sleeper hes a early 2nd round pick....Cavanagh has him his 4th best WR...

I think everyone recognizes the raw tools, but he's not a particularly good route runner, had some drops and wasn't overly productive, especially as a R-Senior. I know I care about it more than most...but he's going to turn 23 in October so there's a lot less physical development to be made. Jeudy, Lamb, Ruggs, Reagor will all be 21 when the season starts, by comparison.

He'd be a no-brainer second in most drafts, so this WR class probably works against him too.
 
Saw a mock have him go to GB at the end of the 1st in a trade down. GB is looking for a speed receiver and they're probably looking at Mims a lot more now that Reagor's 40 was pretty meh. Could be tough to get with Dallas' draft positions. Dallas trading down for another 2nd would be awesome if possible.

Mims isn't a speed receiver. The guy doesn't get open.

I can see how they would want Mims over Reagor, but it wouldn't be because of his speed.

I think he can easily get there.. It's more about the efficiency in his routes more then anything.

If Mims becomes anywhere near as good as Jeudy at running routes he may surpass him because of his overall ability.

This is a pretty enormous IF lol.

It's like asking Dez Bryant to get as good at route running as Amari.

Route running is something that can be acquired though.

Some guys may not be as fluid as others but I do not see that as the case here.

He isn't a pure burner, but other than Ruggs, there really isn't one in this draft. He has decent straight line speed and his height/length is really good so they're probably interested in working with the tools. Just saying the draft stock went up and Mims could easily be in the undraftable range between 18 & 50.

Every random GB fan I saw posting about draft targets were looking really hard at Reagor pre-combine. Probably lost a lot of interest with his 40 and 3 cone, but could still be there. Reagor put on 10lbs for the combine and might've messed his drills up, maybe his pro day will fix things.
 
His combo of size, speed and YAC is nasty. The first comparison that comes to mind is DJ Moore.

Baylor WRs are always a little scary, but I like his chances.
 
I think it’s hard to call him a sleeper...he’s been a top 100 for a while IMO.

His elite combine performance might have vaulted him into the 2nd.
 
That 3-cone at his size...I get he’s a Baylor guy with limited route running and that’ll take a couple of years but everything else is there.
 
I have heard people here and some Dallas media call him a sleeper and I just don't get it. Maybe if someone is not in Texas and OR does not follow the big 12 they might consider him a sleeper but I think anyone that reads so draft prospects would know of him prior to the combine.
