Each year at the combine, the 40-yard dash helps some folks increase their draft stock. It really helps playmakers on both sides of the ball and among those who were aided by a good showing was receiver Denzel Mims.
The Baylor product had a strong Senior Bowl week of practices and followed that up with a massive showing at the combine. Mims ran 4.38 40-yard time, his position’s third-best time, and a 38.5-inch vertical jump, the sixth-best. Mims stands at 6-foot-3, 207 pounds and could be exactly the type of wideout many predict the Bills to target at some point this offseason.
Touchdown Wire seems to think so, at least. In their post-combine mock draft, the Bills use the No. 22 overall pick to select Mims:
One of the more fascinating aspects of the 2019 NFL season was the transition we saw from Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. Imagine if, prior to his draft, someone told you that during his second season in the NFL Allen would be more of a timing and rhythm passer, and would struggle with the deep ball?
You would have thought that person was insane.
But that is what happened last year. Under Brian Daboll’s tutelage Allen improved working underneath (the acquisition of Cole Beasley helped in that area) but truly struggled down the field. If the Bills – and Allen – are going to take the leap forward everyone in Buffalo hopes they do, the vertical passing game needs to click.
Mims, the Baylor product, can help in that effort. He was one of the winners of the combine, but when you watch him on film you can see how he can be an impact player early in the vertical passing game. He was at his best working on the vertical stem, whether in the back-shoulder game or on pure vertical routes. His ability to stress the defense down the field would open up room for Beasley, John Brown and Dawson Knox to work underneath, and tax defenses as multiple levels of the field.
That’s the perfect recipe that many peg for the Bills offense. Mims make an impact deep, possibly with Brown’s speed, too. Regardless, the Bills just need one of two things in a receiver this offseason: height and promise.
Since the Zay Jones experience has failed, the Bills have no young talent there. There is talent, yes, but Brown and Beasley aren’t young. They also don’t have size. Getting both of those things for Allen to work with could be solved in Mims.
Previous to the Senior Bowl and combine, Mims was thought of as a Day 2 pick. He has since soared and could be a fair pick for the Bills in the first round.
Draft Wire’s Luke Easterling seems dynamic wideout Denzel Mims as an ideal fit for the Bills in his latest mock draft.
The Buffalo Bills have been linked to several prospective wide receivers in mock drafts. A new name that is rising up the board is Baylor’s Denzel Mims.
Draft Wire’s Luke Easterling seems the dynamic wideout as an ideal fit for the Bills in his latest mock draft. Mims would be the fourth wide receiver off the board in Easterling’s draft scenario. Easterling highlighted Mims’ ascent up many big boards:
Josh Allen has a handful of solid role players in his receiving corps, but nobody with the complete skill set to be relied on as a true No. 1 target. Enter Mims, one of the hottest names in this year’s class, especially after his fantastic showing at the NFL Combine. He checks every box in terms of size, speed, athleticism and ball skills, all of which would allow him to make an immediate impact and fill Buffalo’s biggest offensive need.
Mims also compares nicely with another game-changing wideout.
Was looking at 3-cone drill times at WR over the years. Saw this:
Mims eclipsed the 1,000-yard receiving mark twice during his tenure at Baylor. He reeled in 28 touchdowns during three full seasons of staring duty as a Bear. He averaged 61 receptions and 968 receiving yards per season after taking on full-time starting duty in 2017. In addition, he’s has a slew of astonishing catches to his resume.
With the draft seven weeks away, the simulations and mocks start to take on a fever pitch. Thinking of Mims catching passes from Josh Allen and running alongside Cole Beasley and John Brown in three-wide sets for Buffalo is an intriguing and increasingly realistic option moving forward.

Denzel Mims | WR | Baylor
Elevator Pitch
An incredibly deep class of wide receivers could see Mims drafted lower than he would be in most drafts, but make no mistake about it: he is the truth. A lengthy wide out with insane athleticism and more than enough physicality, he has the tools to develop into the big-bodied target a lot of teams love to line up on the outside.
As far as physical attributes go, very few receivers in this class can compare to Mims.
A 6-foot-3 receiver with plenty of length and track star speed – he ran a 4.38 in the 40-yard dash at the Combine – Mims possesses a rare combination of size and athleticism. He accelerates well off the snap and has great deep speed, allowing his team to use him as a vertical threat to stretch the field. He does a good job of utilizing footwork to create separation, and he has a good speed release against man coverage.
Mims’ catch radius is fantastic, as his length and his lower-body explosiveness allow him to jump up and fight for nearly any ball thrown his way. He has good body control and does a commendable job of adjusting his body to make tough grabs. Though still developing as a route runner, he has gotten progressively better throughout his time at Baylor, executing different techniques to break man and improving the sharpness in his cuts. He’s also a capable and willing blocker who plays with a high motor on running plays.
Weaknesses
Although Mims has the raw tools to become a standout player in the league, he will have to undergo some development to do so. His route-running prowess can use some work, as he doesn’t use his hands very well to separate from press-man. The offense he participated in didn’t have him running an extensive route tree, so he’ll have to prove himself capable of stringing together route concepts in the pros.
Despite his impressive numbers at the Combine, Mims doesn’t have stellar abilities after the catch. He isn’t an incredibly elusive ball-carrier and is very much a vertical runner when he gets the ball in his hands. His frame could also stand to add a little bit of bulk to it, but that’s not a major issue.
5 Lions-related takeaways from the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine, including 1st round options, free agent interest and more
I spent last week in Indianapolis covering the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine. The focus is primarily on the draft and the prospects, but being there covering the Lions as well, I picked up a few things.
Here are some of the tidbits and takes I picked up regarding the Lions from the combine week.
Jeff Okudah is the most likely Lions first-round pick
The Ohio State cornerback put on quite a show with his agility work and interviews with both the teams and the media. His size, fluidity, speed and attitude are exactly what the Lions want at the position, and his game tape is even more impressive than the workout. Regardless of the fate of Darius Slay, Okudah would make a great pick at No. 3 and an even more outstanding one at No. 5 or No. 6 after a hypothetical trade back.
Based on conversations I had with all sorts of people in all sorts of capacities, both with the Lions and elsewhere, my belief is that Okudah is the most likely choice by GM Bob Quinn and head coach Matt Patricia. I’m not reporting that Okudah will be the pick, it’s my own opinion. And it’s no lock…
2020 NFL Mock Drafts following the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine from Bills Wire staff.
The 2020 NFL Scouting Combine concluded with some stellar performances both on and off the field. The amateur extravaganza has caused some names to rise on draft boards while other players created more questions about their respective futures.
Based on these evaluations, the Bills Wire staff has determined some interesting possibilities for Buffalo’s selections during the upcoming draft. Editor Nick Wojton, along with staff writers Justin DiLoro, McKenna Middlebrook, Kyle Silagyi, and Matt Johnson, have all played the role of Bills general manager Brandon Beane.
Here is Bills Wire’s post-combine, four-round mock draft below:
Round 1: Buffalo Bills | pick No. 22

Nick’s Pick:
WR Justin Jefferson, LSU
This pick is not going to be cemented until the dust has settled after free agency. Do the Bills add some pass-rushing help there? What about a top wideout? That will clearly dictate things but the overlying truth is the Bills have lacked a true wide receiver prospect for the entirety of Sean McDermott and Beane’s time with the club. Zay Jones was a flop. That needs to be addressed and this is the deepest playmaker class the duo is going to see. Jefferson, at 6-foot-1, isn’t the massively large target some Bills observers had in mind. But he’s a great route runner and at the combine, showed he has speed, running a 4.43 40-yard dash time. Oh, and his hands? He had 111 catches, 1,540 yards and 18 touchdowns… just last season alone. For what it’s worth, the Bills did meet with Jefferson at the combine as well.
Justin’s Pick:
WR Tee Higgins, Clemson
Let’s not mess around here. The Bills are in need of a playmaker at the wide receiver position, and Higgins looks to be the best fit at this point in the draft. It’s no secret that the draft is deep at the receiver position. However, Buffalo should take the best player who can give quarterback Josh Allen a dynamic playmaker out wide. Higgins, along with incumbents John Brown and Cole Beasley, help create a solid starting trio. Higgins averaged a stellar 19.8 yards per catch this past year. He’s the type of receiver that can aid in Allen finding his mojo with respect to the deep ball. At 6-foot-4, the Clemson product gives the Bills a large target who can complete in contested catches. He has experience at all receiver positions, runs a full route tree, and wins battles against corners. Oh, and Lance Zierlein’s NFL comparison for Higgins? AJ Green. Let’s not overthink this one.
McKenna’s Pick:
EDGE Yetur Gross-Matos, Penn State
The Buffalo Bills have two areas of concern heading into the 2020 draft, wide receiver and edge rusher. With a loaded wide receiver class, the Buffalo Bills can find receiver talent in later rounds. Gross-Matos recorded 18.5 sacks at Penn State, during his three-year career at Penn State. Standing at 6-6-foot-5, he uses his length and speed to reach the opposing quarterback. Gross-Matos also comes from a 4-3 defense in college, so he’ll fit in with McDermott’s dominant defense.
Kyle’s Pick:
DE A.J. Epenesa, Iowa
Yes, wide receiver is undeniably Buffalo’s biggest need at this point in time. With that being said, there’s likely not a wideout who is worth selecting at No. 22 if Jerry Jeudy, Ceedee Lamb, and Henry Ruggs are off the board, this due in large part to the depth of this year’s receiving class. Let’s instead allow the Bills to make a luxury pick, this coming in the form of Epenesa. Buffalo is in need of a young and potentially dominant player at defensive end, and Epenesa, the 6-foot-5 pass rusher who tallied 26.5 sacks throughout his collegiate career, certainly fits the bill. He’s a tenacious defender who typically wins with strength, something he did often throughout college. He’d be a tremendous rotational piece in his rookie season, learning from the likes of Jerry Hughes and (potentially) Trent Murphy before taking over as a full-time starter in 2021. His iffy-combine may be a cause of concern for some, but tape typically doesn’t lie. Epenesa has that in his favor.
Matt’s Pick:
EDGE K’Lavon Chaisson, LSU
Rush defense was a flaw that plagued the Bills defense for a majority of the season. Perhaps, even the difference between a home playoff game last season, giving up an average of 4.3 per carry, and many crucial first downs.
This is a good draft for helping to strengthen that aspect of an otherwise solid defense, and where the Bills are picking in this year’s draft, there are a couple of options here to bolster that line. Whether it’s Epenesa, Gross-Matos, or Chaisson, the Bills are in a good slot for a defensive end. Chaisson has good size for the position and is a disruptive force. As a sophomore in 2019, he had 34 tackles and 6.5 sacks, as well as a national title with LSU. Oh, he was first-team All-SEC selection by the way, too.
A young player, ripe for grooming in a culture-based team. I believe that he would be a good fit on this Bills defense, but regardless of who is available at this point on the defensive line, Bills will have some quality athletes to choose from.
With the Combine in the rear view mirror, whose stock is rising, whose is falling and how has the board potentially changed?
Ah, mock draft season. With Indianapolis behind us, we can now start to imagine how the draft could play out given what we saw from the prospects at the 2020 Scouting Combine. Whose stock is rising, whose is falling, and how could — I repeat, how could — that impact the draft?
Here’s just one man’s shot at putting it together.
We can work our way into this mock with a selection that makes the most sense. The Bengals are moving on from Andy Dalton, and Joe Burrow’s magical season has rocketed him to the top of many draft boards. His decision-making, pocket presence and leadership abilities are perfect for what Cincinnati needs right now. Plus, the storyline of “local boy comes home” is sure to get fans excited.
Schematically, Burrow is a fit for what Bengals head coach Zac Taylor is looking to do offensively. With some weapons around him and some additions to the offensive line, Burrow could be in position to contribute early in his career.
2. Washington Redskins: Chase Young, EDGE, Ohio State
(Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sport)
There does seem to be some smoke building around the idea of Washington doing this year what the Arizona Cardinals did a season ago: Let a new regime pick their quarterback. Last year the Cardinals hired Kliff Kingsbury and let him pick the quarterback he wanted to build around. The result? Arizona moved on from Josh Rosen after a single season and drafted Kyler Murray.
Could the same thing happen to Dwayne Haskins? Rumors around Indianapolis last week seemed to indicate that it was at least a possibility. Washington reportedly met with Tua Tagovailoa and the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported that new head coach Ron Rivera told the Alabama passer that, according to a source, “[t]hey want to bring in Tua, just get it going and compete.”
My thinking here is this: This is lying season. Most people believe the draft begins at the second pick, and Washington holds a lot of cards. They could stay pat and select the best overall player in the draft, the Ohio State edge rusher. But if a team is dying to move up to draft a quarterback, they’ll entertain offers. One way to drive up the price? Float the idea that you are in the quarterback market as well.
For now, I think these are all smoke screens. Washington stays pat and takes the pass rusher.
3. Detroit Lions: Jeff Okudah, CB, Ohio State
(Joe Maiorana-USA TODAY Sports)
Here is where things could really get sporty.
There are concerns in Detroit regarding the status of quarterback Matthew Stafford. Back injuries the past few seasons have some wondering if it is time to prepare for a world without Stafford in Detroit. The issue is, Stafford’s contract is such that it makes much more sense from a salary cap perspective to move on from Stafford in 2021, rather than 2020.
Under Stafford’s contract, if he were to be traded or cut before June 1st, the Lions would be hit with $32 million in dead cap space for 2020, and would have a cap “savings” of minus $10.7 million for the 2020 league year.
However, if they decide to move on from Stafford prior to 2021, they would actually free up around $14M of cap space.
So the thinking here could be: Draft Tagovailoa, redshirt him for a season while Stafford plays through 2020, and then move on when Tagovailoa is fully healthy and it makes more sense from a cap perspective.
So it is a possibility that the Lions could go with a quarterback here.
At the same time, Matt Patricia must be feeling the urge to win now, and the idea of drafting a quarterback to simply redshirt him while the flames are fanned under your seat cannot feel too pleasant. In the end Detroit entertains the idea of Tagovailoa, but goes with the potential shutdown corner in Okudah.

Now we have our first trade.
A running theme of this mock draft so far has been the Alabama quarterback. In the mix to Washington with the second pick. A potential option for Detroit with the third pick. Now this draft enters a stretch where quarterback is a possibility for a number of teams, including the Chargers at six and the Carolina Panthers at seven.
Tagovailoa has been linked to the Dolphins for a long time now, and the Chargers can read the tea leaves as well as anyone else. If they decide that Tagovailoa is their quarterback of the future, they’ll need to get in front of Miami to ensure that he is wearing the powder blues next season.
Conceptually, while there might be better fits for Tagovailoa’s skill-set, such as the Panthers as we argued yesterday, the Chargers will have the time to build around Tagovailoa and construct an offense around his strengths: His accuracy in the short area, his processing speed, and his familiarity with run/pass option designs.
5. Miami Dolphins: Justin Herbert, QB, Oregon
(Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports)
Interestingly enough, Miami might be just fine with the Chargers leap-frogging them, as they end up with the passer that some in the building have been targeting for over a year. It was just a year ago when reports out of Miami were that Dolphins’ owner Stephen Ross was interested in two quarterbacks: Tagovailoa and Herbert.
Now, with both an option for the Dolphins in this year’s draft, many have linked Miami to Tagovailoa. But the decision to hire Chan Gailey as their offensive coordinator does give them a potential schematic fit with both quarterbacks. As we argued yesterday, the Dolphins are a great fit for Herbert’s skill-set, given his background in Oregon’s spread system. That would ease his transition to the pro game, and with both Rosen and Ryan Fitzpatrick in place, they could potentially move one of those players late in training camp, depending on Herbert’s progress as a rookie this summer.
6. New York Giants (via trade with Los Angeles Chargers): Andrew Thomas, OT, Georgia

New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman said a number of things during his media session in Indianapolis that stuck with me. Two in particular. One I will take to heart, and the other I will ignore with this move to trade down and select the Georgia offensive tackle.
When addressing the media, Gettleman indicated that trading down does carry a bit of risk. What if you trade down, he theorized, from four to eight with four players that you like on your board? You might miss out on all of them is the fear he expressed.
But given how Gettleman could play the board, and still select one of the four impressive offensive tackles in this draft, gives him an option to pick up some additional selections in this draft and continue to build around Daniel Jones.
So while I dismissed the idea of Gettleman’s trade down fear, I will take to heart something else he said. He was asked about the most important position to help a young quarterback and he instantly delivered an incredible response: “Offensive line. I’ve found that it is hard to complete a pass when lying on your back.” And in, perhaps, a shot at all the discussion over Gettleman’s thoughts on analytics he added: “I’ve done that study.”
Here, the Giants trade back and get an NFL ready offensive tackle with experience on both the right and the left sides of the line. Given his SEC pedigree, Thomas has faced some imposing pass rushers during his time in Athens, and he’ll be ready to go up against some of what the NFL has to offer. The combine might have vaulted Tristan Wirfs and Mekhi Becton up many boards, but something tells me that Gettleman will value what Thomas put on tape.
The Panthers could go in a number of directions with this pick. Quarterback is in play, depending on what new head coach Matt Rhule decides to do with Cam Newton and how he handles Kyle Allen and last year’s draft pick Will Grier. Rhule has said all the right things about Newton, he likes Grier dating back to their games against each other in the Big 12, and Allen showed promise at times last year. So it is likely that Rhule keeps all three in Carolina and looks to address other needs.
Offensive line is also an area they could address, and given what we saw from Tristan Wirfs, Mekhi Becton at the combine as well as what we saw on film all season from Jedrick Wills Jr., any one of those players could be in play if the board falls this way.
They also have needs on the defensive side of the football. They could use help up front, they could use some help at linebacker in the wake of Luke Kuechly’s retirement, and they could also use some help in the secondary.
In Simmons, they could get help at all three levels of their defense. They would get a player who has lined up on the defensive line, in the slot, as a box safety and even as a boundary cornerback. They would also get an explosive athlete who posted a 4.39 40-yard dash at the combine, to go with a vertical leap of 39” and a broad jump of 11’. All while measuring in at 6’3 and ½” and weighing 238 pounds. He is an absolute freak of nature, and would revamp their defense in an instant.
In a draft that is talent-laden at the wide receiver position, we have yet to hear one WR called. That streak continues, as the Cardinals pass on every wide receiver on the board to address another glaring need: Offensive line. The Cardinals desperately need to protect Murray next season, and Becton can help in that effort.
Murray was sacked 48 times last season, tied with Russell Wilson and Matt Ryan for the most times sacked in the league. Now yes, sacks are not an offensive line statistic and the quarterback contributes to those sack totals, but the Cardinals do need to give him more time in the pocket. Murray was hurried 63 times last season, fifth-most in the league. With D.J. Humphries and Justin Murray as their starting tackles last season, this position could use a boost.
They get that in Becton. The massive left tackle showed some power and explosiveness both on film and during his combine workout. He has very fluid footwork for a man of his size, and his length will be an asset in Kingsbury’s offense. He could be the guy to protect Murray’s blindside for the next decade.
12 standout prospects on offense from the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine for the Buffalo Bills to consider drafting.
We started off our combine standouts pegged for the Bills defense, but now let’s get to the fun part… the offense.
Buffalo’s offense could stand to use plenty of help all over the place. Playmakers will be a big-time need for the Bills, but the trenches and in the backfield also can’t be overlooked.
Here are 12 offensive prospects who impressed at the combine that the Bills could consider adding at the upcoming draft:
At 6-foot-4 and 238 pounds, Chase Claypool was already certainly on the Bills’ draft radar even if he didn’t put up the most prolific numbers at Notre Dame. But his size now comes with some documented speed after the combine. That big body moved the 40-yard dash in 4.42 seconds. Per NFL Research, Claypool and Calvin Johnson are the only wide receivers who stood at least 6-foot-4 and 235 pounds and ran a sub-4.45-second 40-yard time. Good company. He also had a 40.5-inch vertical, fourth-best among wideouts
OL Ezra Cleveland | Boise State
Prior to the combine, Ezra Cleveland was viewed as a developmental tackle prospect but he improved his stock. If it wasn’t for top-10 prospect Tristan Wirfs’ work, Cleveland would’ve taken more headlines after the combine. He had a great three-cone time of 7.26 for a 6-foot-6, 311-pound guy, along with a ridiculous 4.93 40-yard time. He’s an athlete. Cleveland could now be a Day 2 pick and a guy that perhaps could move Cody Ford to the guard position. Many predict he needs to bulk up, though.
Baylor WR and combine standout Denzel Mims is becoming a popular pick for the Green Bay Packers at No. 30 overall in the 2020 NFL draft.
At least three different post-combine mock drafts from national draft analysts sent Baylor receiver Denzel Mims to the Green Bay Packers at No. 30 overall in the 2020 draft.
Mims, one of the stars of the NFL Scouting Combine, is quickly becoming a favorite pick for the Packers, who desperately need speed and playmaking ability at the receiver position.
From Jeremiah: “Mims has helped himself as much as any player in the draft during the spring, between his awesome Senior Bowl and outstanding combine.”
From Renner: “It’s difficult to see Mims escaping the first round after putting up the most complete Combine of any receiver in attendance. His 4.38 40, 38.5-inch vertical, 10-foot-11 broad and, especially, 6.66 three-cone were all scintillating numbers for a 6-foot-3, 207-pound wideout. That explosion and catch radius is something the Packers are sorely lacking.”
From Sikkema: “Denzel Mims’ week reminded me a lot of Chris Godwin’s. Godwin was already seen as a good prospect coming into the combine, but he put up athletic numbers that raised his ceiling even higher than even his biggest fans originally thought. That’s what happened with Mims. His 4.38-second 40-yard dash, 10-foot 11-inch broad jump and 6.66-second 3-cone drill were all above the 90th percentile for his position.”
Mims (6-3, 207) ran the 40-yard dash in 4.39 seconds, hit 38.5″ in the vertical leap and 10-11 in the broad jump, finished the three-cone drill in 6.66 seconds and put up 16 reps on the 225-pound bench press.
His Relative Athletic Score was 9.78 out of a possible 10. He received an Athleticism Score of 99 from Next Gen Stats. His overall Sparq score was in the 95th percentile of all NFL receivers. In every possible way, Mims tested like an elite athlete.
As noted by Jeremiah, Mims was a standout at the Senior Bowl and had three years of terrific production in Waco.
Mims caught 186 passes for 2,925 yards and 28 touchdowns at Baylor. He caught at least eight touchdowns in each of his last three seasons, including a career-high 12 in 2019. He went over 1,000 receiving yards twice, once in 2017 and again in 2019. According to PFF, Mims had more contested catches than any other collegiate receiver between 2017-19.

The first major event of “draft season” is in the books, as the 2020 NFL Draft Combine has now come and gone.
We’re now less than two months out from the start of the 2020 NFL Draft, a three-day extravaganza in which the Buffalo Bills will look to add exciting young prospects to their already talented roster.
On this episode of The Kyle Silagyi Variety Hour, host Kyle Silagyi is joined by BillsWire staff writers Justin DiLoro and McKenna Middlebrook to construct a post-combine mock draft for Bills. They also briefly discuss the embodiment of misery that is the Buffalo Sabres.
These eight players did enough at the 2020 NFL Combine to put themselves in the running for the Baltimore Ravens 1st-round pick in the draft
The 2020 NFL Combine has come and gone, leaving only free agency remaining before the 2020 NFL Draft. The Baltimore Ravens, like the rest of the league, will likely begin finetuning their draft boards with all the main measurements figured out. But which players impressed at the 2020 NFL Combine enough to have Baltimore potentially fall in love with them in the first round?
There really wasn’t a consensus top running back in this draft class, meaning the 2020 NFL Combine could be the deciding factor. Taylor apparently understood that and showed up in a big way.
At 5-foot-10 and 226 pounds, Taylor put up the fastest 40-yard dash among the running backs, finishing in just 4.39 seconds. Taylor also posted the fourth-fastest 3-cone drill and sixth-fastest 20-yard shuttle from the running backs. He also put up a respectable 36-inch vertical jump and 123-inch broad jump as well.
Taylor has frequently been mocked to Baltimore in the first round and after his 2020 NFL Combine results, the Ravens could very well be swayed to make him their pick.
