We just need Mims to be decent.  That's better than anything we ever got from Stephen Hill or Devin Smith. 

We shouldn't expect him to be a #1 WR, but he has the tools to be a solid #2. 

2021 is the year to grab a couple more wideouts for Sam.

Didn’t we pass on Alshon Jeffrey for Stephen Hill?

I really hope Mims is legit....because we’re bad at this.

At least in Mims case when we looked at the board we pretty collectively felt Mims was the right guy. In those other cases, nobody was really on board with those WRs there. I mean most of us talked ourselves into it, but it wasn’t what we wanted

Mims on the other hand....
Need a new one for a new board...

The problem is that we need Mims to be decent RIGHT NOW.

Sam is entering year 3, and this is a big year for his long-term development, yet we're going into the season with Mims, Perriman and Crowder as his top receivers. Perriman and Mims both have the potential to be starting-caliber WRs this season, but both could easily fall flat on their faces.

I really wish we had grabbed another receiver in the middle rounds. Maybe they really like Vyncint Smith.

I was fine with the Stephen Hill pick. Hill had absolutely elite measurables, especially at that time. I thought taking a chance on him in the 2nd round made sense. The problem with Hill, just like the problem with Mims, is that we needed him to make an impact right away as a starting WR, and he wasn't close to ready for that (and he never was). Mims at least has had several years as a productive college WR, so there's a simpler path for him to be useful right away. And Mims' measurables are somewhat similar to what Hill's were.

I hated that Stephen Hill pick, especially since Alshon Jeffery was right there.

I wanted Jeffery but I rationalized the Hill pick for all the reasons DS said.

My biggest problem was that his best facets were measurables from the Combine and one YouTube vid, not his actual production on the field.

Manish trying to create a coaching controversy before the season starts.

What a loser.
