    I watched Mim’s highlights yesterday and he kinda scares me. He never seems to get separation (even though he ran fast at the combine) and pushes off pretty much every time he’s contested. He’ll be an OPI nightmare in the NFL. He reminds me a lot of Sutton with his “go up and get it” but the constant push offs are a problem.

    Like any of the 2nd tier WR's...Mims has his areas of improvement. I think the pushing is a result of him allowing his coverage to crowd up his routes, which has a lot to do with his confidence to win 50/50 balls against big 12 competition. Just one of those things to expect from a late first round pick.

    That draftnik put his top six in three tiers:

    1> Lamb
    2> Justin Jefferson 3> Jeudy
    4> Ruggs 5> Higgins 6> Mims

    I think I'd be fine if we got any of those 15, maybe see who falls through the cracks and get value.

    I wonder how many of them will become starters.

    2014 Draft, there was a glut of WR talent, 16 taken in top 100. In '15-19 that number was 13, 9, 13, 10, 13.

    I'll put the 2014 class NFL impact (Career AV) in parens.

    Watkins, 1-4, (36)
    Mike Evans, 1-7, (49)
    Odell Beckham, 1-12, (49)
    B. Cooks, 1-20, (51)
    Kelvin Benjamin, 1-28, (22)
    Marquise Lee, 2-39, (17)
    Paul Richardson, 2-45, (14)
    Davante Adams, 2-53, (41)
    Cody Latimer, 2-56, (6)
    Allen Robinson, 2-61, (33)
    Jarvis Landry, 2-63, (44)
    Josh Huff, 3-86, (6)
    Donte Moncrief, 3-90, (18)
    John Brown, 3-91, (33)
    Dri Archer, 3-97, (0)

    One or more years as primary starter for team:
    Martavis Bryant - 20th WR taken
    Ryan Grant - 22d
    Quincy Enunwa - 29th

    Big boards put about 15 or so in top 100.

    If we had drafted almost any of the guys drafted after Latimer, we wouldn't have to consider a WR very early this year.

    Some notes on drafting WR below 100, 2000-2019 (n=263).

    Percentage that average > 500 yds a season during career: 39%

    >750 yds/season over career: 19%

    > 1000 yds/season over career: 6%
    Calvin Johnson - 2
    Andre Johnson - 3
    Larry Fitzgerald - 3
    A.J. Green - 4
    Amari Cooper - 4
    Julio Jones - 6
    Mike Evans - 7
    Odell Beckham - 12
    DeAndre Hopkins - 27
    Reggie Wayne - 30
    Chad Johnson - 36
    Michael Thomas - 47
    A.J. Brown - 51
    Jarvis Landry - 63
    T.Y. Hilton - 92

    Average - 26th overall

    Make a pro bowl once or more: 20%

    Number of 2d and 3d round picks who start for 2+ seasons minus number of 1st round picks who start 0 or 1 season at most: +36
