Yeah, I'm not a big "this conference doesn't produce good players at this position" guy And Josh Gordon came from Baylor. I know he was a f**k up. But the talent and production he flashed when he was actually available was transcendent. Arguably the best WR in the league when on the field. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But getting a 1st round talent at 59 AND getting more draft capital is a RISK I Will take every time That was remarkable. I was psssed he traded down to be honest. But it worked. Amazing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thumb down representing each of the 14 teams in the Big 12. Or are there 10? Naming conferences with numbers didn't work out so well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Jet Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 And here I was thinking we'd get a sure fire Hall of Famer at 59. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberjet Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Bottom line: For the #48 pick the Jets got: WR Mims Draft pick #125 Draft pick #129 2021 6th round pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prime21 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 The excitement of Mims being available and then suddenly seeing Seattle on the clock was horrific drinking moment. How did I miss the Jets pick I thought. JD hasn’t given us anything yet to doubt him so I trusted his decision as was over the moon with joy when we still got him. He is has lots of potential and if Sam is indeed the man and has protection then he will make Mims even better.

RoadFan Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I am with the OP on Mims. I believe he is a risky pick. When I watched his tape, I saw a player with great athleticism. Maybe the highest ceiling of the day 2 WRs. HOWEVER, something about his game bothers me. Mims looked very disinterested when he knew he wasnt getting the ball. His effort as a run blocker on many plays was dreadful. He had too many drops. I think Mims slid because GMs felt the same thing I did. He has a really low floor. I much preferred KJ Hamler or Pittman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mims makes me really nervous. I would not have drafted him at all without a thorough interview process with him, coaches, etc. It's a gut feeling about him.

Mims is actually an active and effective blocker. Half of his drops (11 of 24) were in one season when he had a hand injury. You have a right to your opinion, but he's frankly a major steal. Becton/Mims is a dream 1-2 draft for the Jets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuscanyTile2 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 My feeling is that if Mims were picked where we expected (early 2nd round) then there wouldn't be this big concern on the forum. The fact that he fell a little further than expected (heck, we needed him but traded down) is the cause of all of this. The truth is we don't know jack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
