2. Denzel Mims, Baylor
It’s hard not to get excited to see Denzel Mims still on the board heading into the second round. Mims, another first-round talent that fell to Day 2, has a great combination of size and speed that make him an intriguing prospect for a team like the Bears in search of a speedy receiver opposite Allen Robinson. If Mims is still sitting there at 43 or 50, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Chicago pull the trigger.
According to NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein, “Mims is a long-striding outside target with excellent height, weight and speed and an insane catch-radius. He’s a touchdown threat anytime he’s near the red zone, with the focus and body control to finesse and finish catches above the rim. He struggles to release and separate from physical press corners, and he doesn’t consistently compete and outwork opponents for positioning on contested catches. If the route work and intensity catch up with his natural athletic ability, he could become a dangerous “Z” receiver in a vertical offense, but the floor might be lower than some teams are comfortable with.”
