I will say this about Mims. The few clips I saw of him were very impressive. Great foot work and great mobility for someone his size.

The only player you listed that I think could start next year is the WR. Personally, I have higher hopes for Volson than Karras.

Volson did end the year strong last year, so you may be right on that. 

NFL.com has this to say about Kris Jenkins:

NFL bloodlines; Jenkins’ father, Kris, was a four-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle.
Excelled in playoff matchups against lines from Alabama and Washington.
Consistently first in with hands, playing the block before the block plays him.
Hustle and quickness to close running lanes two gaps away.
Holds ground against single blocks and can tackle what is in his gap.
Relentless pass-rusher energy, utilizing active hands/feet to find openings.
Possesses legitimate spin counter to bolster his rush plan as a pro.

Missing the ideal frame and girth for an NFL starter inside.
Not nearly enough anchor to withstand a pro double-team regularly.
Inconsistent contact balance during lateral block engagements.
Average hand pop to knock pass blocker off his base.
Will struggle to create adequate pocket push as bull rusher.

I believe he was the third ranked DT by a lot of the analysts.

He looks pretty good to me other than being a little undersized.  I like how he moves, he is clearly a gifted athlete.  I would like to see about 15 more pounds of muscle on him. 

Who Dey!

These size of these top rated DT's is interesting. Many of them, more than half, are under 305 pounds, which feels light in today's NFL. Jenkins listed at 299 is one of the bigger DT's in the top of the draft.

Not much production in regards to sacks, but suppose to be a good run defender. Some have said they believe he may do better in the NFL in converting pressures to sacks.

I can definitely see that.  Once a QB panics he should be great at shedding the OL and pursuing. 

Kris sure looks the part in this photo.

He is not small by any means but I see a lot of potential with that frame.  

And I asked Google about NFL DTs:

Defensive Linemen: The average weight of defensive linemen in the NFL is about 314.16 pounds [2]. Linebacker: The average weight of an NFL linebacker is approximately 244.64 pounds [2]. Defensive Back (Corner): The average weight of a defensive back in the NFL is around 200.10 pounds [2].

I haven't been watching the draft. I just now went and looked at who picked who in round 2 and what a surprise. Jenkins was the 6th DT taken in round 2? There were some reaches ahead of the Bengals for sure. The shocker was Sweat getting picked this early. After the DWI on top of his other character issues, I thought he was round 4 at best. The Bengals have to be happy that Jenkins was still available after all those DT's got picked ahead of them.

And what are the Falcons doing? It is like they are evaluating players different than everyone else in the NFL.
