It's no secret the #Vikings will look for wide receivers in the draft. One source says they really want a very fast guy to stretch the defense.
If this is true, Mims, Reagor, Aiyuk, and Hamler are the ones to take the top off the defense. Of course, there might be a lower-rated guy who everyone is wrong about that can fly, but these would seem to be the guys who have a chance to make a difference. Spielman has said something like there are guys who are going to go in the fourth or fifth that will contribute right away, but that hardly seems like something you can count on.
Mims combine time was the fastest of that group, but I have heard from the people who watch a lot of football in that conference and they all say Reagor plays the fastest. I personally like Mims the best, because he has the size, speed and production. He's also very physical.
I was looking at the 3 cone drill times. I was expecting Reagor to do better than Mims, but it was not the case. There are some who will argue that the 3 cone drill time is more valuable information than the 40 time because players don't run 40 yards in a straight line. Just saying.
I guess where I come down is if I was evaluating I would want all of the information, but I would put more credence on how fast they are on film. That would actually add more value to Reagor over Mims. Does that make sense? But again, I would want to know if the player shows up for the big games, how they do vs top competition, and that last one means I would put some extra weight on how they do at the Senior Bowl and Senior Bowl practices. I would put more weight on that then the combine, which is kind of like underwear Olympics.
The senior bowl was where Mims just dominated. In the 1 on 1s he got separation IIRC 94.5% of the time.
Right. So he stepped up big in the Senior Bowl and the combine. It might show us that he is up to the bigger challenge of playing with the Big Boys. I can't say I watched the film so much. I know Reagor had a lousy QB, but I could also look at the previous years tape.
It looks like that those who are doing evaluations after watching film are putting Mims above Reagor. I could quickly check because I have a different tab on my computer screen for each "big board" by different writers. The most recent one I saved was by Vikings Corner. (Daniel House) He has Mims at #14 and Reagor at #40. That's a pretty wide disparity. I mean he took the time to watch the film. So I'm going to say that Mims is the better prospect. It is very possible, though, that Reagor turns out to be the better Pro, but right now I would have to put Mims ahead.
