Lions Cut Mims From IR


Recommended Posts

Let’s not pull punches here.  This was a terrible draft pick.  It was terrible scouting by JD.   A historically lesser team like the Lions were willing to give him a chance, and they were convinced otherwise. 

NFL success = between the ears + physical ability (in that order). 

Mims had nothing between the ears.

That’s crazy to hear now, although at the time JD still had much more resources to do his due diligence than the posters here.Mims was a question mark at the time to a lot of teams. They were passing on 6’3” and 4.3 for a reason.

I wonder where Mims goes next. He's probably not so keen on Detroit any more, he doesn't like Philly, and he sort of burned his bridges with the Jets once he was traded.

Someone will probably take a look, but he's a bottom of the roster / practice squad prospect these days.

Special teams value might be the difference in making a team or not - and Mims has never had much (or any) special teams value.

We really needed a WR and none of us get to interview the guys to see what’s going on inside their head. On paper it was a great pick. Now that we know what we know, how as a scout and GM do you not see this guy has nothing between the ears in interviews.
