Okay, so the other day I was messing around with some NFL draft stuff, and the name Amarius Mims kept popping up. I’d heard of him, big offensive tackle from Georgia, but I didn’t really know know him, you know?
So, I started digging. First thing I did was pull up some of his college highlights. Just YouTube, nothing fancy. And wow, this dude is a mountain of a man. I mean, he’s huge, but he moves really well for his size. I watched him just tossing defenders around like they were rag dolls.
Then, I decided to check out some mock drafts. I figured, “Hey, if I’m thinking about trading for him in my fantasy league, I should see where the experts think he’ll go in the real draft.” Most of the mocks I saw had him going in the first round, some even in the top 20.
- Checked out his measurables.
- 6’8″, 340 pounds.
- Long arms
After that, I got down to real trade. It’s not simple cause my league members knew this super star, so I tried hard to negotiate with different trade package:
- Tried Offer Number.1: my first round pick + second round pick.
- Tried Offer Number.2: my first round pick + a young player.
But all failed.
Finally I made a crazy offer with my two first round pick in this and next year, also packed with my best young player. And, I got him.
My Conclusion
This whole deep dive into Amarius Mims got me thinking. It’s not always about the flashy names or the guys everyone’s talking about. Sometimes, you gotta put in the work, do your own research, and find those hidden gems. And yeah, maybe trading for a rookie offensive lineman isn’t the most exciting move, but I’ve got a good feeling about this one. I think he’s gonna be a beast, so, yeah, you win by details.
