The more you watch of Denzel Mims, the higher he creeps up your personal draft board.

Built with exceptional length and natural athleticism, Mims is an easy mover all over the field with RAC ability and some of the best hands in the draft.

His ability to go up in contested catch situations is one of his best attributes, but his underrated long speed will undoubtedly entrench him in the top 50 of draft boards all over the NFL.

The Broncos have been pegged as a landing spot for smaller, speedier receivers in mock draft scenarios, but Mims is a guy with size and speed who could be a tremendous fit for them opposite Courtland Sutton.

The Broncos need to make sure to give Drew Lock all the weapons he can get, and Mims on one side of the field with Courtland Sutton, Noah Fant, and DaeSean Hamilton could be deadly for Denver’s offense.

Mims had 28 touchdown grabs over the past three seasons, cementing himself as one of the top big-play threats in all of college football.
