Popular Post CSNY Posted August 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2022 Making the roster is one thing but let’s hope that he realizes his potential because if he can put it all together the Jets wide receivers and the upgrades to the tight end position will be really really good. Upper echelon good. Hoping that Mims is able to do it ? 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
65 Toss Power Trap Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I've been really impressed that Mims attacked the offseason and came into camp looking good. The issue for Mims is he has Corey Davis, Elijah Moore, and Garett Wilson in front of him. GW still is learning the playbook, but I assume the coaching staff wants to get him going as fast as they can since he is their pick. And now there are other guys maybe earning playing time. Heard about Jeff Smith in OTAs, and now we're hearing about Irvin Charles. Is Mims okay being relegated to a few plays a game and maybe a couple of catches? I wonder if him being traded to a place he can play more is the best move for him (and then the team gets a draft pick for him). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Untouchable Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I think it’s more likely he’s traded for a late round pick and the Jets roll with someone like Smith or Charles as the final WR. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all depends whether JD thinks there is any hope for Mims. He will not trade him cheap to another team to have him break out and make JD, Saleh and LF look like idiots. If he flashes he will be kept around and allowed to leave after his contract 1 for a comp pick. There is no way they let Mims go if he has upside. To the extent he does not play in games or specials, he is an inactive albatross, but I don't see them trading Mims unless they think he is hopeless and will not shine on another team. I think there will be enough injuries to this relatively delicate and small WR corp to allow Mims to have substantial playing time in 2022. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trotter Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Understanding that it is still very early and who knows what happens prior to the start of the season but what we seem to be seeing is a Jet team that actually has depth of talent at multiple positions that could bring value as we get closer to the season. Honestly don't know if I have seen this level of talent since maybe late 90's? Mims specifically, I think if he continues to have a strong camp - he stays. I agree they are not just going to give him away for a late round pick. Depth on the DL, WR, RB and dare I say QB. Lots of positives around flacco and might they move him if a team needs a QB at the start or into the season. It is a good problem to have for once instead of trying to identify 2 starters on the roster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jetstream23 Posted August 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2022 For quite a while there was a consensus that it can take 2-3 years for a WR to develop. I remember guys like Laverneous Coles not blossoming until his 3rd season, etc. Somehow, because of the early and quick success of guys like Justin Jefferson or Jamar Chase we've been conditioned to think if a guy isn't really good by the end of his first year he's probably a bust. I'm cautiously optimistic that Mims is simply a guy who needed some time, maybe more coaching than others, and who had a setback with that food poisoning last year. If he turns out to be the WR5 this year then that's a great thing. His size and speed are rare. If he absorbs the playbook, gets more consistent and can expand his route tree a bit then he'll be a really nice surprise this year. I'm rooting for this guy. He seems to be trying to do all the right things. 7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warfish Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I'm hopeful he not only makes the roster, but finally provides production this year. Limited, since he's depth really right now behind four other guys. But production none the less. His talent is obvious, hopefully he knows in his head what he needs to do now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is precedent for WRs to emerge year 3. But Mims was utterly useless last year. Still think he should’ve played more after last season’s WRmagaddon but what do I know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSteve Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Lets say that Mims turns on all the lights. And he is lights out. There is NOTHING wrong with letting him start as WR2. Let Garrett Wilson ride the pine and be WR4 to start. Let him learn. Let him WANT to take the spot. You spotlight Mims, he is playing great. That could then net us the 2nd rounder we spent on him, and we are then losing nothing. Of course this presumes that Mims could be all that. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. It is what it is though. Jets have had a tough stretch of WR picks. Hopefully Moore and Wilson stop the trend. 2014 Jalen Saunders Rd 4; 2014 Shaquelle Evans Rd 4; 2015 Devin Smith Rd 2; 2017 ArDarius Stewart Rd 3; 2017 Chad Hansen Rd 4; 2020 Denzel Mims Rd 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old saying is better late than never, but in the world of football where most careers are short, it's better to be early. In the case of Mims, he may be late to the party.

Untouchable Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Mims had about as many penalties as he did receptions last year. The early reports so far have been encouraging, but anyone who thinks that this dude is a lock to make the roster is kidding themselves. The Jets really like Jeff Smith and he has the advantage of being one of our best players on special teams. Irvin Charles has been just as, if not more, impressive as Mims and provides that big body target who can get downfield. Even if Mims makes the team, he’s going to firmly be behind Davis, Moore, Wilson and Berrios on the depth chart. It’s probably best for both parties to move on. Mims gets a fresh start elsewhere and the Jets can recoup a late round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
