Denzel Mims

He has some suddenness to his routes off the line of scrimmage, but doesn't seem to have much long speed (he proved me wrong at the Combine). He has long strides that allow him to separate more than you'd expect, though. He needs to sell his routes at stems a bit more, room to grow here. His quarterback play was horrendous. Looks the part of an NFL wide receiver who has a bit of growing to do, but there are tools here. Flashes extremely strong mitts, even if there were some concentration drops. Frame is big enough to absorb hits, but he doesn't look clunky.

Fantasy Impact

Denzel Mims was a steady riser throughout the draft process after his performance at the Senior Bowl, but he put himself squarely in the day two conversation after the NFL Combine. Mims ran a 4.38 40-yard dash, put up 16 reps on the bench press, jumped 38.5 inches in the vertical jump, soared 131 inches in the broad jump, and ran a 6.66 second 3-cone time. Those are elite numbers for a 6'3/207 WR. While Mims' tape still suggests that he has a lot of growing to do to become a legitimate WR option for fantasy football, those numbers are hard to ignore.
