Boom or bust, he's one trick now and just fast but they like him and plan to rotate plenty. Argue for a trade down and ill concur, but there weren't too many players on the board I liked at 6 the way things shook out.
Mingo waa high yes, but he'll be an elite ROLB and those don't grow on trees. That's a good place for a one trick poney. LOLB usually draws the TE and run plays. Mingo can pin his ears back most plays Sent from my HTC Vivid
He has the measurables of an elite pass rusher, he has the skill.of an good pass rusher. He just needs to learn gap discipline and hell at least marginal run defender He is much better then Bruce Irvin was last year, and will be a much better pro Sent from my HTC Vivid
I like it. They plan on rotating pass rushers extensively from what I read. Mingo, Sheard, Kruger and Groves giving "full service" to opposing qbs. The point of the thread was that they didn't take this draft off like columnists are saying. They got two pretty good receivers out of the draft (one with star potential) and two better picks to move up next year if need be.
