Jets add Explosive Receiver Denzel Mims With 59th Pick

Looking to add some weapons for quarterback Sam Darnold, the Jets landed Baylor wide reciever Denzel Mims with the 59th pick of the draft after trading down from 48th overall with the Seattle Seahawks.

Mims, who was among the top players at the Reese’s Senior Bowl had been projected by many insiders as a first round pick but somehow fell to the Jets at 59.

It’s a coup for GM Joe Douglas who added pick 101 in their deal with the Seahawks, putting the Jets in position to add another starting caliber player later on in the draft.
