Yeah. Aiyuk, Shenault and Higgins can all **** off. This guy looks like the 3rd best receiver in the draft. And we probably won’t have any shot at getting him, but goddamn is he gonna be good.

Aiyuk and Jeudy are two of the top YAC machines which is a big reason their teams tried to get the ball in their hands often, no matter how. Screen game receptions is not a degrading stat and speaks nothing to a receiver's skill set. You're beyond quoting a stat that ridiculous, come on man. You look at those two guys and they both also happen to be among the top route runners in this class. Look at how often Reid used the screen game to overcome QB and Oline deficiencies in the past.
I'm fully on board with calling Mims a legitimate prospect. I do think his slow release is proper in his scouting reports but his overall speed may make coordinators second guess pressing him to take advantage. He's also not a very polished route runner but he can get better there. He has his warts, as do all rookies.
Apparently Denver is in love with the kid. Whether or not that is window dressing or not, we shall see.
