Round 2 | Denzel Mims | Baylor
Mims was projected to be a mid-round selection, but after tearing up the pre-draft process (Senior Bowl and Combine), he’s garnered top-50 consideration.
At 6-foot-3 and 207 pounds, Mims raised some eyebrows after running a 4.38 40-yard dash, a 6.66 3-cone drill and posted a 38.5-inch vertical and a 10-foot-11 broad jump in Indianapolis, IN.
Even though he isn’t a technician off the line of scrimmage and isn’t going to put defensive backs on skates with his route-running ability, Mims wins with his speed, wide catch radius, ball skills, physicality and blocking prowess.
In 40 career games for the Bears, he had 186 catches, 2,925 receiving yards (15.7 average) and 28 touchdowns.
