jebrick Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 40 minutes ago, YogiBiz said: The problem is he came from Baylor and didn't run a diverse route tree there. It's the most important aspect of playing to receiver (outside if you can catch outside your frame) it was hard to rate him. But now that scouts see he can run a ton of routes effectively, coupled with being such a problem in the open field Mims might make into the top of the second round. I wouldn't be surprised if sneaks into the first with a strong combine. If he is drafted either at the end of day 2 or beginning of day 3 it will be better. He is a deep threat WR that needs work. Mike Wallace with less speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's always a weird assumption that guys can't do what they've not been able to show. He's been great at getting off press, separating deep and playing above the rim and shown all of that plus an ability to sell a route here at the Senior Bowl. Even without that, his physical skillset alone would give you a package you can work with. It is why guys who can run crisp routes should be valued higher as they will have an immediate impact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many that will be found out of the first round. Yeah probably it, but a lot of lesser prospects have been stacked above him.

Plus he's 5 inches taller and 20 pounds heavier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an example, hes at 153 on Kyle Crabbs' most recent draft big board. No knock on Kyle who is great at what he does, this was a typical placement pre Senior Bowl. https://thedraftnetwork.com/articles/kyle-crabbs--2020-nfl-draft-big-boardposition-rankings The following receivers are listed above him (I personally would have him ranked at around 5):- Jerry Jeudy CeeDee Lamb Henry Ruggs Laviska Shenault Tee Higgins Jalen Reagor Justin Jefferson KJ Hamler Donovan Peoples-Jones Brandon Aiyuk Tyler Johnson Quartney Davis Devin Duvarney Collin Johnson KH Hill Gabriel Davis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He underwhelmed this season especially at the end. Someone is going to draft him far too high. He's a day two guy, for sure. I don't think so. He's this year's "I was overrated, people overcorrected, and now I'm underrated" prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you, but if my team needs a 3rd or 4th receiver who can come in amd play right away then Van is my dude. I don't think the ceiling is high, but he's so refined and skilled that the floor is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is most of the WR drafted. If they make an impact before week 10 it means they can run good routes in college.
