                  If it ties in to your horrible predictions, just keep it to not jinx our new guy.

                I don't really understand this pick but I'm not going to knock it if it plays out. Our WRs really were pretty horrible last season at times.

                  They wanted a slot who can take the cover off of the defense. Hamler is always hurt and likely gone soon. Patrick and Sutton's contracts are no no's for next season.
                  It's planning for the future.

                    I'll try be positive because we drafted another quick twitch midget. He plays smart and tough for his size. Reminds me a bit of Emmanuel Sanders. Should make the other quick twitch midgets expendable.

                      Wilson's go-to guy in Seattle was Tyler Lockett:

                        Wow -- Mims and Lockett's measurables are remarkably similar!

                        Slightly bigger, slightly faster. Significantly more explosive. Just a little less agile. And the two of them went within 6 spots of their respective drafts. Let's hope he stays healthy!

                          Here's Mim's write-up from Dane Brugler's draft guide:

                          ​​​​​​BACKGROUND: Marvin Mims Jr. grew up north of Dallas in Frisco (his family is originally from the Baton Rouge area). Coached by his father (Marvin Mims Sr.), he started playing youth football in elementary school and led the Frisco Packers to an undefeated season and the little league championship. Mims focused more on basketball throughout middle school and played on the same AAU team as Jaxon Smith-Njigba. For high school, he attended Legacy Christian Academy as a freshman and recorded 36 receptions for 523 yards and four touchdowns, also playing cornerback on defense. Mims transferred to Lone Star High School for his final three seasons and was named Offensive Newcomer of the Year in 2017 with 54 catches for 1,175 yards and 12 touchdowns. He was named 5A Offensive MVP as a junior with 59 receptions for 1,158 yards and 14 touchdowns. Mims had a record-setting senior year and led Lone Star to a 14-1 record, falling in the 2019 state semifinals to Denton Ryan (led by Drew Sanders). With 114 catches and 31 touchdowns, Mims set the state record for receiving yards in a season (2,626) and finished his career with 5,485 receiving yards, which is No. 1 in Texas history and No. 8 all-time nationally. Mims was named Mr. Football in Texas and a USA Today All-American. He also lettered in basketball (averaged 14.7 points per game as a sophomore) before giving up the sport to focus on football.

                          A four-star recruit, Mims was the No. 29 wide receiver in the 2020 recruiting class and the No. 26 recruit in Texas (No. 4 wide receiver in the state, behind Smith- Njigba and Quentin Johnston). The recruiting floodgates opened in early 2018 when he received 16 FBS offers in the months after his sophomore season, including from Ohio State, Texas A&M and Wisconsin. After his junior year, schools like Notre Dame, Oklahoma and Stanford joined the mix. Mims verbally committed to Stanford in August 2019, but he let schools, specifically Oklahoma, that he was keeping his options open. He decommitted from Stanford in November 2019 and flipped to the Sooners. Mims elected to skip the 2022 bowl game and his senior season to enter the 2023 NFL Draft.​

                          ​​​​​​STRENGTHS: Eats up ground quickly with his smooth, straight-line strides ... flashes a vertical burst on tape to consistently win on runway routes ... maintains his route speed while tracking the football ... catches well over his shoulder and displays the adjustment timing to finish grabs downfield ... one of only four draftable pass- catchers in the 2023 draft class to average better than 19.5 yards per catch in his college career (seven receptions of 40-plus yards in 2022) ... puts the ball away quickly after the catch to squeeze out a few more yards (70.4 percent first-down rate in 2022) ... low-key and reserved personality but highly competitive on the field ... productive punt returner, averaging 11.8 yards per return (33/391/0) ... aligned outside and in the slot.

                          WEAKNESSES: Thinly-built frame and a smaller target for quarterbacks ... marginal body power limits tackle-breaking opportunities ... not very physical and early route contact drowns his rhythm and forces the quarterback to look elsewhere ... limited play strength also shows with crowded catch points, and 50-50 balls are exactly that (a coinflip) ... average fluidity in lower body is evident on intermediate routes ... capable of spectacular catches but will also drop some easy ones (see 2022 West Virginia tape) ... muffed a pair of punts on the 2021 tape.

                          SUMMARY: A two-year starter at Oklahoma, Mims was an outside receiver (left of the formation) in offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby’s up-tempo scheme, also seeing time in the slot. He led the Sooners in receiving all three seasons and posted career bests in 2022 as the only FBS receiver with at least 45 catches to average more than 20.0 yards per reception. Mims is a straight-line burner (best on crossers, drags and go routes) with quality tracking and adjustment skills. However, he has underwhelming size and strength, and a more diverse NFL offense will ask more of him than what he did college. Overall, Mims must prove himself vs. press-man coverage and expand his route-running inventory with improved stem balance/footwork, but his bread and butter will always be his field-stretching speed and finishing skills. He will add an explosive element to an NFL offense as a rotational rookie receiver and punt returner.

                          GRADE: 3rd Round (No. 76 overall)​

                            Can't wait to watch him return punts.

                              If that all he does, I could have waited until the 4th or 5th round.

                              No, but that's prob what we see him do early in his career. He is prob 4th we at best to start the season

                            Here's what Bob McGinn had for Mims:

                            ​​​​​​MARVIN MIMS, Oklahoma (5-11, 182, 4.39, 3-4): Third-year junior blossomed in 2022. “Third-rounder,” said one scout. “A No. 3 receiver. He’s a slot. More of a smooth guy. He’s not exceptionally quick or fast. Smooth and precise in his routes. Catches the ball well. Just more of a savvy guy.” Vertical jump of 39 ½. “He’s a solid backup,” a second scout said. “Might work his way in if you needed a slot. Great kid. Really good hands. Quick, and a good athlete. Maybe third round, but I like fourth better.” Finished with 123 receptions for 2,398 (19.5) and 20 TDs. “A quick guy,” a third scout said. “Fourth-round pick as a slot receiver. Liked his quickness, hands.” Wonderlic of 23. From Frisco, Texas.

                                  well on a lot of the highlights it looks like he has a lot of separation but the QB is massively under throwing him so he has to almost stop and wait. If the QB hit him in stride more then it would look more impressive.

                                    seems like yesterday the fanbase just knew it was stability at punt returner cause Montrell Washington! Now they get 2 of them!

                                      He won’t be doing a whole lot of returns. He’s going to actually be part of the plan at WR. He walks into the facility as the second best WR behind Jeudy from day one. The broncos are TRULY loaded with talent on offense now man it’s crazy!

                                        I like it. Fast as hell, good route runner.

                                        Perfect slot WR.
