Amarius Mims
Overview
Talented tackle prospect carrying a picturesque frame and exciting NFL traits. Mims plays with pretty good technique and is ahead of the game with hand placement. He has the size and bend to create movement and adequate athleticism to make blocks on the move, although he can be inconsistent in that area. He uses a two-hand punch that causes him to lunge forward a bit, but that should be correctable. It is very rare to see him clearly beaten by a rusher, and he has the recovery talent to do something about it when it happens. Mims has more development to go, but he’s a Day 1 prospect with the traits and talent to be considered at either tackle position. He has a high ceiling, but questions due to his lack of experience could temper early expectations.
Strengths
Outstanding combination of size, length and proportionality.
Fits into his drive blocks with good bend and a lift for leverage.
Plays with deliberate hand placement and runs feet through contact.
Keeps weight on inside half when sliding out to rusher.
Uses direct punch with inside hands and/or aggressive gather-and-snatch.
Strong hands and pure mass help tone down power rushers.
Adequate recovery tools to fight back when beaten.
Weaknesses
Very limited experience, with just eight career college starts.
Inconsistent in sustaining blocks in the run game.
Movements up to second level lack timing and accuracy.
Feet get heavy when attempting to mirror a cross-face rush challenge.
Needs to work on forward lean at the top of the rush.

I wanted him.
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

Kinda looking like a good CB will be available now... didn't think that would be the case the last few months.
your on the wrong board I think
Who you guys gunning for?

verse gone
Terrion Arnold would be worth trading up for now
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.

COOP
but theres a bunch of guys i'd be fine with
so we'll select none of them
But given the talent left I really hope to stay put
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
One of the 2 CBs seems like a steelers pick
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
I've seen a pretty good case made for 2 CBs and 2 RBs.
I'm not saying we should do it, but the way it's lining up, it may be a tempting time to drop back into the 2nd or even later 1st. There are going to be a number of players still available to us that we did not expect to be there, so that's good, but that also means there are going to be some players at #28 or #30 or #34 that Gute had ranked more highly. And if someone wants us to throw a mid-70s pick and give us a chance to drop back and pick up an extra early 2nd round talent, that's historically a Gutekunst deal. He may go for that.

is he even the best alabama CB available?
Jared Verse
Overview
Talented edge defender with the field demeanor, athleticism and skill set to rack up statistics in key categories fairly early in his NFL career. Verse dominated at Albany and then showed an ability to do the same at Florida State. He’s twitchy and compact, with explosiveness featured at the point of attack and in his upfield burst as a pass rusher. He’s great with his hands and does a nice job of diagnosing plays quickly and staying out of the clinches of offensive linemen looking to snatch him up. Verse's ability to threaten the edge only bolsters his hellish speed-to-power bull-rushing ability to run tackles deep into the pocket. He can play up or down and should be in consideration for all defensive schemes looking to add a safe, high-impact edge.
Strengths
Thrives with winning first step and unstoppable energy.
Quick to close distance and mitigate his length disadvantage.
Controls bigger blockers at the point with leverage, hands and power.
Instincts allow for rapid diagnosis and attack of play development.
Advanced GPS into the pocket, with multiple available rush routes.
Uses sudden, combative hand work to beat the punch and grease the edge.
Bend and strength to corner tightly to passer at efficient angles.
Instantly converts his twitchy get-off into a menacing bull rush.
Weaknesses
Lacks ideal size and length that teams covet.
Unable to anchor deep when drive blockers get into him.
Below-average footwork and wrap-up leads to missed tackles.
Offensive tackles stall his rush plan with a firm punch.
Has moments where rush wears down against size.

Christ, you still around?
You can’t teach or coach 6’7”, 340, long arms and giant hands.
Mims is a genetic freak. He might bust out but I would bet he is a starting OT in the NFL for 10+ years.
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

What are your thoughts on theoretically dropping back 4 or 5, assuming DeJean is gone?
