But Saleh stating that Becton's LT days are over (according to Rotoworld), makes me wonder why he may not view Becton as a LT when Fant is gone which may be after this season. That was not accurate. The quote was his LT days are "not" over yet. Beat writers corrected themselves recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he looks great in TC and someone gets desperate and offers up a 4th do you pull the trigger or do you keep him around for next season when he could fill the Corey Davis role? The top 4 are set, Jeff Smith is a special teamer so he has value as a #5. Do they keep 6 WRs though as insurance for injury and only give him limited snaps? I think the best bit is to move on even he he plays well (hopefully an early 4th from CHI maybe). Use that pick in an area of greater need (ILB, S, OL depth, etc).

He still has this year and next year where he's under a very reasonable contract. If Davis or Wilson go down as outside WRs, Mims I'd imagine slides in for either of them, not Smith. I'd expect us to mainly run with Moore, Berrios and whoever of the 2 outside guys that's healthy as the main set. But with Mims' size and all he fits the mold for us better if he's balling out in camp. I feel like keeping Smith over Mims would be a big mistake.

He's a very reliable gunner for us so when you don't do much in terms of snaps at the WR position you need to do something else which Smith does and Mims doesn't. We have depth with our without him. It'll likely be Moore, Davis, Berrios with Wilson mixing in. All of Davis, Moore, Wilson can play inside or outside. Berrios is the only one kind of pigeon holed as a slot man. Guess it all depends on the offer really. If it's a 3-4 I think they might bite. If it's a 5-6 then having that added depth is a good thing given the injuries we had a WR last year. With the TE room we have last year hopefully if we lose 1 or 2 guys we can still field a NFL caliber group of pass catchers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or I mean we have 6 CBS who are talented that can be gunners too. My point being is that I don’t think the reason for keeping Smith over Mims should be based on ST. A 5th WR and being the only guy with size after Davis should help him. I mean we saw how fast WRs down the depth chart can be regular starters in this league bc it’s a position you’re regularly playing 4-5 guys.

The real problem would be if Davis, Wilson, Moore, Mims, and Berrios are all deserving of being on the field any time we are on offense - which is a good problem to have IMO. But really this is training camp and Mims doesn't seem to be working with the starters. I'm not going to hold my breath until the season starts.

As a fan base what we should hope is that he barely plays. But that stands for any WR after Davis, Moore, Wilson and Berrios. But injuries and such happen. But ideally those 4 guys can stay healthy and be available for a whole season to where the 5th and 6th guys are rarely on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfNewYork Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Mims shouldn’t be written off. Wilson has to earn his reps just like Mims has to fight to keep his spot. If he’s playing well you keep him and give him Snaps. You keep 6 WRs regardless IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's what happens and it's an FO headache, I'll gladly take it. I'm just not on the Mims train until I see it on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetfuel34 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Mims sucks. I don't care what reports come out of TC. They are making him look good to net a 4th round pick. The Bears are a team that will probably trade for him. The time to move him is now. He has 2 years left on his rookie deal so he is still cheap. Keeping him why down on the depth chart is a joke. The guy has nothing to offer but an average WR at best. Get that pick and move on. This is alomst the same situation as Harry from the Pats.

Man this league would be 1/4 of the size if every team gave up on players as fast as some of you do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
