Amarius Mims (OT, Georgia) -- DRAFTED BY CINCINNATI #18

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Really surprised this one hasn’t been made yet, this dude is a future Stoutland University valedictorian.

This is one of the best Oline athletes ever. 
 

I’d like to see us move up in the first to snag him, as long as it doesn’t cost one of our 2’s

 

per NFL.com:

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.

Probably but I figure Howie will need to trade up to get him (but not on simulators).
