Nahhhhh we just wanted to draft who we thought the stealers wanted. That must be it. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BlackJesus| Posted May 2 Author Report Share Posted May 2 How long until I can buy my #71 Mims jersey from the pro shop? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 It seems like the earliest Mims might have gone off the board was at 12 to Denver. Their pick apparently came down to Nix or Mims, with the need at QB winning out. Also, New Orleans had a tough time deciding between Fuaga and Mims at pick 14, with their dire need for a strong opening day starter tipping the scales toward Fuaga. Then there were many teams scrambling to move up into Jacksonville's slot for either Mims or a defensive player. Among NFL scouts the general consensus was that Fautanu was definitely the least desired of the six top tier OTs that had been discussed so long, mostly because they think he's more of a natural guard than a tackle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the genius of the FO signing of Trent Brown. We don't now have that dire need. We might need him soon, but Mims is not going to go into opening day with the pressure of having to start, it's something he gets to earn. We also now have a swing backup of a high caliber at both Tackle positions, something we haven't had in what seems like forever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints needed both a LT and RT. Penning struggled at LT for them so they moved Peat over there. Ramczyk has a knee problem that may prevent him from playing again. Fuaga would be a good fit for them at RT but I have doubts he's quick enough to play LT. 3 hours ago, alleycat said: This was the genius of the FO signing of Trent Brown.

It's nice to have a swing tackle backup who is better than Carman or Ford. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 I was a little surprised that Bill Callahan plans to move JC Latham to left tackle. The Titans were upset that the Chargers took Alt at pick 5, but they could have taken LT Fashunu instead of RT Latham. Will be fascinating to track all 5-6 of these OTs over the next few years, just to see how they all fare with their NFL teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 Yeah, I doubt Latham does well at LT. But maybe Bill Callahan can coach him up. If that fails, Titans still have question marks at RG and RT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had skipped that particular activity, his RAS would have been through the roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|BlackJesus| Posted May 8 Author Report Share Posted May 8 In his time at Georgia, Mims had a completely clean sheet ... Holding penalties = 0 False starts = 0 Sacks allowed = 0 QB hits allowed = 0 Can't wait to see the dancing bear 🐻 at practice on Friday 🧡 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, he allowed just six quarterback pressures across 402 career pass-blocking snaps and should start very soon, as Trent Brown is only a short-term solution for the team at right tackle. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
