I hate the pick, personally. Doesn't appear to have many defined skills, or counter moves. Just an athlete trying to play football. Longterm developmental project before he'll have any effectiveness in NFL games. Much like Wimbley, but not as good a football player. Mingo is a really great athlete, though .. I just don't see where it's ever transcended to actual performance on the field. He's one of those guys that's always running around near the play, but never making the play.
I'm torn, but I will say he actually looked more comfortable rushing when he was standing up rather than when he had a hand in the dirt. It didn't happen too often, but that's likely how he'll be used on the edge in Cleveland. I'm interested to see if we drop him into coverage or ask him to hold a gap, or if he'll solely be used as a sack specialist early on.
