Marvin Mims enters the NFL with the 42nd pick (Round 2 – Pick 11) to the Green Bay Packers.

With the recent departure of NFL Hall of Fame future inductee Aaron Rodgers, the Packers are relying on Jordan Love to lead their offense. I expect Green Bay to go one of two routes in this draft. 1) They take two receivers early in the draft (Mims is the second one), or 2) They take an offensive lineman in the first and Mims in the second. They have the 13th pick in the first round for these strategies to happen. Mims fits in well in Green Bay and gets tons of playing time early. If he’s their first receiver taken in the draft, he will lead the Packers in receiving next year.
