WR Denzel Mims – No. 59 overall

Douglas gambled and won when he traded back 11 picks and still landed Mims in the middle of the second round. He gets an ultra-productive, big-bodied receiver who loves to win 50-50 balls and catch touchdowns. 

There are concerns about Mims’ route tree, ability after the catch and hands. He’s really great at one-cut or straight-line routes, but averaged only three yards after the catch per reception and dropped 12.9 percent of his targets the past two seasons. Even still, his speed and frame will make him a fantastic target for Sam Darnold in Adam Gase’s offense.

Grade: A-
