So I have been following the rookie rankings from various sites, 3 of which are pay sites (Smitty, DLF and PFF) and most of which have been updated within the last few days.
Last looksie had
1. Marvin Mims ranging between 11 to 22 (specifically 11, 14, 20, 13, 13, 13, [19 (SF)], 22,) – EXCEPT FOR SMITTY WHO HAS HIM AT 75 (45 if you assign all the $1.00 players at the same rank)
2. Tank Dell ranging between 28 to 36 (specifically 28, 36, 32, 28, 26, 28, [32 (SF)], 28) – EXCEPT FOR SMITTY WHO HAS HIM AT 10
I don’t get the outpouring of love for Tank Dell
1. Mims played in the Big 12 (Power 5) Dell played in the American Athletic conference that he apparently tore up… against WHO
2. Mims’ metrics as available from Combine and Pro Day performances are all superior to Dell EXCEPT their 10-yard times were both 1.50 which tied them for 3rd for WRs at the Combine
3. While neither fit my prototype for WR, Mims is 5.10.7 / 183 and Dell is 5.08.3 / 165 – Mims is not a giant, but Dell is a DWARF
4. Watching the film I was able to find I see nothing that Dell does that Mims does not also do. I did not see all that much wiggle from Dell. I certainly don’t Tyreek Junior.
5. Both are currently 4th on their NFL depth charts. Both could see playing time.
a. From what I have read, Denver has CAP issues that could lead to the departure of Jeudy. I can see Mims being the WR2 even if Jeudy stays put.
b. Houston has an aging Woods. I don’t see Dell beating out Nico Collins or Methchie.
To be honest, I never looked at film of Dell until today because I had already eliminated him from consideration because of his size.
What am I missing?
