The NFL world is currently the Green Bay Packers’ oyster. The team has a lot of money to work with because Jordan Love will continue to be a net positive for the team’s cap space over the coming years. They may renegotiate contracts and use their FO magic to acquire the free agents they want, even with their current minimal space.
This is where things get a little strange, though, with the Packer’s drafting. They have two options: they can treat the draft like free agency and select individuals who will have an instant impact, or they can select players who will develop gradually over time, as is customary.
They can just choose to take the offensive line, which is usually a development One of the best first-round prospects that could fall to Green Bay’s 25th overall pick selection is Amarius Mins, a tackle from Georgia. Some analysts have the Packers picking him up if he falls that hard – here’s how he measures.
There’s almost nothing to complain about with Amarius. He’s 6’7″ and has hovered around 300 pounds throughout his college career.
He’s extremely agile for someone that size, and of course there’s room for improvement in that area of his game. He has pretty good footwork with both his run and pass blocking, doing a really good job setting up screens out in space.
Mims is also really good with his handwork, doing a good job with outside and inside pass rushers. He can handle the elite speed rushers while also being big and sturdy enough to handle the big bull-rush attackers.
His stats back up his film, too. In around 300 total snaps last year he gave up 2 pressures and 0 sacks. His competition wasn’t exactly easy either. He seems like the real deal and is loved by anyone who’s watched his tape, so the Packers wouldn’t be making a controversial pick with him.
