Mims’ physical traits are the same ones that convinced Broncos head coach Sean Payton and general manager George Paton to trade for the No. 63 overall pick to acquire him.
If you ask Lone Star High School football coach Jeff Rayburn, he would tell you wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. was destined for greatness.
“I don’t want to say we felt the strength of the draft was in the second round,” Payton said. “We felt the strength of the receiver position — there was a group of six or seven of them . In one week, it might be this order, the next week the other order. We worked on that and challenged that.” Even if the move doesn’t affect Jeudy, the pick was understandable. Receivers Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick do not have guaranteed money after 2023, and wideout K.J. Hamler has struggled to stay on the field due to injuries. So the need to add more depth in the wide receiver room was paramount.
“Just seeing how he can separate and be a threat anywhere on the field,” Basquine said. “That’s when I realized he’s got a legitimate chance of being a good NFL player.”
