Georgia was churning out talent at OT when Mims was there and that's why he couldn't get on the field.

He's fresh and has little tread: yeah he's not a RB, but these guys play 1,100 snaps a year: if he's good enough, he'll be a cornerstone for a decade.

It’s concerning that he only started 8 games.
I’m seeing something about him getting injured at the combine too.

Don’t get me wrong, he could be a stud.
I’m just crossing my fingers.
Hopefully it’s nothing.

Mims had a bad injury but he was behind some great players. Mims isn't injured now which is big and he gets to learn behind Trent
Brown one of the best swing Tackles in the NFL and he can learn Guard right there with Cappa, Karras and Volson. You can worry 
about Mims getting worried same as Latham honestly who was taken way early IMO.

Latham taken that early is just weird to me, he has really heavy feet, gets beat by inside moves and is slow in run blocking.

Mims does things these others just cannot do. Mims can do it all just hope Pollack doesn't ruin him.

A 5th rounder who is depth in LA

As a Bama guy I watch pretty much all of Sagan’s stuff, he always gives ton of credit to opponents and I’ve never heard him be so tepid on another player. He had no idea why the guy only played a few series…was it conditioning? Injury? Getting beat? None of those are good especially injury. If you only start one season and miss 30% of the games, at his size, you are injury prone.
Also, Beck was only sacked 11 times on the year so not allowing one in about 65% of the snaps isn’t a major accomplishment

....and no, dude has dug his heels in and won't watch, lol.

(04-26-2024, 02:09 AM)oncemoreuntothejimbreech Wrote: Saban also told the Miami Dolphins he wasn’t going anywhere so I don’t know why people would believe what he says.

Mims played in 8 games as a freshman, 14 games as a sophomore including 2 starts in the college playoffs to include their back to back national championship game. Not sure why Saban thinks a playoff game is more important than a national championship game. But, I’ll just chalk it up to Saban talking out his ass.

Does Saban even pay attention to the SEC? Because if he did he would know Mims had tightrope surgery for a high ankle sprain which he re-injured during the playoff game. Just like a Brock Bowers re-injured his ankle after tightrope surgery for a high ankle sprain. If Kirby was smart he would have held both of them out until the playoffs.

I’m sure Saban knows this so I’m not sure why he is acting dumb.

I don’t think missing games due to one injury during three years in the SEC makes a player injury prone, either.

It is pretty simple, watch the youtube vids of our new pick in Amarius Mims, you will not be disappointed.

He was the one guy who made JT of OSU not beat his team. Alt had a good rep against JT in a Draft vid I saw was the only other one.

The concern is the injury risk with RT Brown and potentially Mims. But Mims certainly could be a home run pick if he proves durable.

…

In the 2nd I’d love to get an interior lineman for depth or a dlineman.
Looks like there will be good value there.

Definitely need more depth on the interior oline as those vets aren’t under contract for much longer and during the last Super Bowl run the injuries up front derailed that run.

Definitely need more depth along the dline as well. Pass rush and run D could be a lot better. Need a deeper rotation and more youth.

I think there will be solid options at WR and Corner from picks 3b to 4.

The high sprain came from someone rolling up on his ankle. Anyone person who has played sports has had to deal with ankle sprain, so this chronically injured BS is just that, BS! 
I was all onboard for Mims since seeing him fly during the 40 at the combine
