    There was much condemnation from fans:

    @NFL_DovKleiman This is absolutely trash if real And I already found her annoying to begin with

    @NFL_DovKleiman She just put Women sports analyst 20 years back with this sh*t 💯

    @NFL_DovKleiman WHY IS NOT JALEN HURTS ON THIS LIST???!!!

    @NFL_DovKleiman Sam Darnold, is he still in the league MINA? You are going to get it when you get home!!!

    @NFL_DovKleiman It’s a bizarre world if Mina Kimes’s opinion is considered worthy of consideration. Sports reporting has fallen into their version of the Dark Ages

    @NFL_DovKleiman I think it sucks a dirty ass… Drake ? Really? How does Sam Darnold not make the list. Back to back 14 games won with 2 different teams and won a super bowl.

    In response to the backlash, Kimes wrote on social media:

    “It’s a draft with a three year timeline. If it was a simple power rank, he’d be top 5. Half of these picks aren’t even mine. I can’t even correct Dov because he’s blocked me and just uses my pic for engagement/rage bait. Truly one of the worst accounts on here!”

    *Sigh* It’s a draft with a three year timeline. If it was a simple power rank, he’d be top 5. Half of these picks aren’t even mine. I can’t even correct Dov because he’s blocked me and just uses my pic for engagement/rage bait. Truly one of the worst accounts on here!

    Mina Kimes gets candid on Tucker Kraft’s importance in Packers’ offense

    While Mina Kimes is a self-professed Seattle Seahawks fan, she also covers other teams, including NFC rivals. On an episode of “NFL Live” last week, she was asked how the Green Bay Packers‘ offense would fare with wide receivers Dontayvion Wicks and Romeo Doubs gone.

    Instead af answering the question head-on, she deflected towards tight end Tucker Kraft, who is projected to return from an ACL tear:

    “I think the skill group should be fine, but with a caveat or a question mark. When is Tucker Kraft going to be back and available? Is it going to be Week 1? I think this is, maybe not as big of an absence as Micah Parsons, but it’s not that far off in terms of his importance to this passing attack.”

    She continued:

    “Folks forget, through the first nine weeks of the season, before Tucker Kraft got hurt, he was fifth amongst all pass-catchers in yards per route run, which captures both productivity and usage. That’s ahead of receivers like Amon-Ra St. Brown, CeeDee Lamb, Ja’Marr Chase. That’s how important he was.”
