Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur expressed deep regret, stating that selecting him was the biggest mistake he has ever made. NFL.com draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah contemplated embracing unpredictability for his third mock draft, ultimately opting for chaos. However, this chaos didn’t extend to the Green Bay Packers’ pick, as Jeremiah envisioned several potential directions for them but settled on Georgia offensive tackle Amarius Mims at the 25th spot. Mims, heralded as a “unique talent,” fills a significant gap left by the departure of David Bakhtiari and Yosh Nijman. Despite starting only eight college games due to injury, Mims boasts impressive physical attributes, standing at 6-foot-8, 340 pounds, with remarkable performance statistics in pass protection. Mims himself exuded confidence at the Combine, attributing his preparedness to the rigorous coaching at Georgia. The main concern surrounding Mims is his limited playing time and whether he can immediately transition into a starting role in the NFL or if he’ll require time to develop. ESPN.com’s Matt Miller expressed optimism about Mims’ potential, anticipating a standout performance at the Combine. Selecting Mims presents the Packers with strategic questions regarding their offensive line configuration, particularly in relation to Zach Tom and Rasheed Walker. Mims was chosen over other prospects like cornerback Cooper DeJean. Jeremiah’s mock draft also saw early quarterback selections, adding to the anticipated draft day excitement.
