That is a BADASS catch. And you can't argue with that length and speed, but I'm just not quite sold on Mims yet. He lets balls into his body too much, has dropped a few, plus he was shut down by the nobody Oklahoma corner in the Championship game. Now, I just read that, so if anyone saw that game and has more information, I'd love to hear it.

Good player and tempting in the 1st round.  But I was hoping this might be 3 plays that showed his upside, his midside and his downside.

I would be surprised if Ruggs isn't the first WR off the board. Speed kills in draft rooms.

It's very possible. But my goodness, how many of these speed guys have to bust before the NFL starts to wonder? John Ross, Corey Coleman, Will Fuller, Breshad Perriman, Philip Dorsett, AJ Jenkins, etc, etc. I'm not sure why that is, but it's almost like the fastest receiver from every class has very often been a bust. And not like half. Like 90%. It's bizarre.

More often than not the route-runners transition well in the NFL---the speedsters however, do not. Who are the good route-runners in this class outside the top 3 guys?

Justin Jefferson
Brandon Aiyuk
Van Jefferson
Michael Pittman Jr.
KJ Hill
Kalija Lipscomb

Draft Wire's Justin Melo passes along that Baylor WR Denzel Mims has taken FaceTime meetings with the Eagles, Cowboys, Rams and Jets.Melo additionally relays that the Baylor standout has had video check-ins with Titans, Bears, Colts and Bills. The 6-foot-3, 207-pound wideout managed to get predraft workouts in with the Bucs and Cardinals before the coronavirus shut down traditional workouts and visits. A combine star, Mims has Day 1 stock upside for the draft later this month. To whit, in a recent mock draft, Pro Football network's Ian Cummings pegged Mims to the Vikings with the No. 25 pick.

Fwiw, Steve Smith is a big fan of Aiyuk

Make that two then. Aiyuk is really impressive to me.

Well, hearing PA announce Aiyuk like the Three Stooges has a certain appeal.

This should be posted on every draft room wall.

There are three receivers I don't really have a good sense for yet. Aiyuk, Chenault and Hamler. But I do think that Aiyuk is going to go a lot higher than we're seeing on big boards and mock drafts.

If you watch the three of those guys together you'll probably think that Schenault has the most raw talent but Aiyuk is much more of a sure thing. They're different players but Aiyuk is a better weapon as a WR. He is an underrated deep threat that can get separation in multiple ways, which is big for me when evaluating. Better yet, 0 drops on passes over 20 yards. So he tracks the ball well and takes advantage when open. 

Hamler is such a hard evaluation for me. He's absolutely electric when he has the ball in space. He also made himself a lot of easy yards at Penn running the fade out of the slot, which is probably the toughest route to defend. That speed and the room he has to the sideline is a problem. But the drops, man, absolutely killer. Its not focus based either he simply doesn't track the ball well.
