Old Guy Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 1 hour ago, {Family Ghost} said: I want a legit starting player in round one .. not a project guy who is going to see very limited snaps. With 11 picks and a team that is ready to compete I'm okay with trading up for the right guy. I want quality of quantity this year. So you were against picking: Love, Wyatt, Gary, LVN over the last 5 years? The reality is not many rookies move into the roster on day 1 and become a full-time starter. Drafting a premium position and getting a guy who can rotate his rookie year, is extremely good value. Especially, when they turn into stud pass rusher a year or two down the road. There is no guarantee at 25 you are going to get a guy who is a can't miss day one starter who you can pencil in his entire rookie contract. There will be come in hindsight that do that, but nothing at this point in the draft is a certainty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make whatever jokes you want about Geno, he's shown he's more than capable as a starter in SEA the last couple seasons. Sam Howell is also a good developmental option that threw far too many interceptions in his first season as a starter, but was also running for his life all season long. Commanders only moved on from him because they're taking a QB #2 and plan to play him from the start Penix is a much better option than Howell. If it weren’t for his injury history, he’d go in the first half of round one. Howell ain’t it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossibleCabbage Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 It is very interesting to think that if the game against Texas was Penix's last college game, he probably goes in the top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even convinced he'll be available at 25 let alone 41. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PossibleCabbage Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 The reasons that Mims might be available at 25 are understandable (Alt, Fuaga, Fautanu, Fashanu, etc.) But the reasons he might be there at 41 would also give the Packers pause (like "maybe his knees are bad.")

Kampfgeist Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Mims is fascinating/intriguing to me. Started two games in 2022 and 6 in 2023 and seems a sure Top 35 lock. Did actually play 30 games over his career but I'm not sure the breakdown of meaningful offensive plays vs special teams snaps vs 4th qtr blowout appearances etc. What other players come to mind that have so little starting experience but were drafted so highly? On the flip side of the discussion the voice in my head is having: Not sure why it's even a concern? There's no shortage of players that were drafted with only 1 year of starting experience or meaningful production and that came over maybe 11-12 games? Mims has limited total starts but in 2022 they came in the Playoffs semifinal and final games - not much better experience than that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little lighter than ideal. Seems like someone the Packers would be all over to me though. That'd be a udfa for me. Maybe late if we haven't added anything by then. (After watching probably not enough to make that claim). Kick slide isn't much slide. He's a helicopter off the snap. All the tools are there, guys sitting in a chair in his stance. Think you go in with a 2 year plan like Nijman. Looks like he just started playing tackle. Probably a better project than the other guys at the end of the bench. Not really worried about the weight though.. either that comes or it doesn't. He's a strong dude and can wrench guys around when he's in position. Just being in position isn't that often Edited April 5 by HighCalebR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably not strong enough to play this year, but those athletic numbers are worth a late round pick. You certainly have to redshirt him this year. Keep him on the 53 and get him on a NFL weight training program and diet. In a year, you might have a gem. If it's a seventh rounder, It's definitely worth the gamble, IMO, whatever that is worth.

I just don't think the athleticism is there to be a tackle in the NFL. For as well as he tested, his feet look really choppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
