Marvin Mims Jr. Scouting Report
Per NFL Draft Buzz, Mims Jr. has the following strengths and weaknesses:
Strengths
- His competitiveness and knack for high-pointing the ball allow him to play bigger than his size
- He’s excellent downfield, accelerating to top speed quickly and stacking on top of cornerbacks. He has excellent body control, contorting to make difficult catches and working well on back-shoulder throws
- Has experience as a punt returner – will likely be used in that capacity as he develops in the pros
- Good hands who goes up and attacks the ball to bring it in in contested catch situations
Weaknesses
- Mims is small at 5-11 and just a little over 180lbs and as a result will be outmuscled by bigger DBs. He will likely be limited to slot player
- He’ll have to develop a better feel for sitting down against zone coverage
- While he has good speed – it isn’t elite and may reduce his chance of being selected high

Marvin Mims Jr. in Mock Drafts
According to NFL Mock Draft Database, Mims Jr. is projected as a third-round pick. His limited use in the NFL pushes him outside of the first couple rounds. He has some nice upside but teams are unlikely to use top picks on him. Mims Jr. has not shown up in any recent mock drafts. Before the season, Mims Jr. was projected as a first-round pick but has fallen out of favor with many scouts.
Would Marvin Mims Jr. Fit on the Packers?
I really like the fit for Mims Jr. on the Packers. While the knock on him is that he is only a slot receiver, that is exactly what the Packers need. His good hands and run after the catch ability would be perfect for the Matt LaFleur offense. His experience on special teams could also be intriguing for Rich Bisaccia.
Check Out Another Prospect That Could Fit For the Packers
I would be very surprised if GM Brian Gutekunst took at first-round wide receiver and it is players like Mims Jr. that make me think this. If Gutekunst can get great value in the third round on a wide receiver, it is much better to fill other holes on the roster in the first couple of rounds and then find great value later. If Mims Jr. is on the board in the third round, watch out for the Packers.
