Hes probably the fastest player Ive ever seen
Donovan Peoples-Jones is the 2nd guy ive got through that im not a big fan of albeit maybe part of that is me being resentful for having to watch shea patterson play qb
the more ive watched of the wrs the less i like these as comps even if id liked comps in the first place
I really like Denzel Mims as a prospect
I like him a lot as well. Although I haven't watched enough film of other candidates to say where he will ultimately be drafted.

I'd love to get Quintez Cephus in the middle rounds. He was the only playmaker on offense other than Johnathon Taylor for Wisconsin yet he was still able to amass almost 1,000 yards in a run-heavy offense

Watched a highlight of his and never bothered to watch film, if I don’t like your highlights I’m gonna stop right there lol
its how i feel about shenault jr too (gave him a 2nd go because im seeing people tout him as a 1st round type talent) and honestly i just dont see it - he doesnt have crazy athleticism and he doesnt separate effectively on the film - i dont understand the grades that im seeing all over the "experts" reports - he's my lowest graded wr that ive studied so far

I wasn’t too big on him either, he’s a RB playing WR and has real WR hands and ball tracking but he’s an average wr literally all around, suddenness and change of direction is meh, really weak route runner, good physicality and general run ability though.
reminds me a little bit of nkeal Harry, like somewhere between nkeal Harry and parris Campbell, which is a really strange thing to say but it makes sense in my head lol.
i see what you mean with those comps tbf - he's a swiss army knife who doesnt fit the prototypical profile of a swiss army knife type player - he's someone who you hope is a chess piece you can line up all over the field to take advantage of the mismatch - my problem is i dont think there's one thing he does at a high enough level yet for that to be worthwhile because he's not enough of a mismatch

What are your opinions on Collin Johnson from Texas around the 5th round. I see him as a hybrid WR/TE like Darren Waller. 6'6'' 220+ with an NFL training program could probably get to about 235-240. He'd be our 4th TE/red zone WR. We've been pretty lucky not to have any injuries to our TEs this season and they all get a fair amount of snaps per game.
it's fairly clear that after that divisional round game that wr is still a need - hollywood showed up big time but we had nothing else we could rely on - either guys dropping passes or not getting open consistently enough - hollywood's only going to get better as he gets healthy and gets a full offseason and you have to hope boykin improves this offseason but willie snead will just be willie snead which is fine but if he's our number 2 receiver then we have an issue and i think we clearly have to give ourselves the ability to be explosive in the passing game also so that if a game situation occurs like the titans again that we have the firepower to get back in the game when we're forced away from the run - lamar has shown that he can go bombs away in the passing game but give him receivers that can get open consistently and he will shred a team because you know he'll make good reads and get his guys the ball

Bryan Edwards - South Carolina
will have a gander right now - not got any prospects on my to do list right now except a bunch of OTs and as much as i like how deep that group looks i really dont feel like watching tackle tape lol
well so far i'd say he's pretty inconsistent - liked the bama tape, didnt like the missouri tape - should be a lot more physical than he is at the catch point and doesnt use his length well but uses his body well after the catch - inconsistent releasing off the snap - might struggle against press because of how upright he is but his height/weight/speed traits make him interesting - shows some decent understanding of how to set up corners vs off coverage with his stem and he has decent ability through contact at the top of his routes but not so great working laterally - i saw a couple of routes i really liked coming out of the slot where he had more space to use - was hard done by by awful qb play but still not sure he gets enough separation at the college level that it will translate well to the nfl necessarily
but honestly i think the boykin comp is a good one because he looks very similar as a prospect to me - not sure about the "more" bit though

You watched Mims (Baylor)?
yeah - really like mims - he uses his length so well, more punchy explosion which is surprising for a big guy - has shown the ability (albeit inconsistent) to beat press, raw tools to create tons of separation and has shown improved route running with each season - really crisp motion in and out of breaks etc. - really strong hands
and on top of that he's a really good and willing blocker
he's currently my 7th highest rated wr
i think bryan edwards im about to slot in at 13

Mims is a goddamn animal. Somehow the media considers him a 4th round type, I’d be shocked if he doesn’t go top 50, what he does well, he does REALLY well, and that particular skill set is one that will always have a place in the league
