Mingo might be a good fit for us.

i just think these media guys hate to give up on players once they start looking so-so during the season and talk them up during these offseason workouts.

he may have the skills for a first rounder but played like a 2nd/3rd round pick most of the year.

flashes do not thrill me

I think we need someone who is slender and has speed and good hands. Slender types should they get hurt heal a lot quicker. And no doubt it has to be someone from a SEC defense or a player that far outweighs his awful team. I think Te'o has a stand out name and if he's there saints need to get him I don't care about the whole fake gf thing or sexting a guy. Manti Te'o is a NFL name. What was Notre Dame before this guy? They had no offense whatsoever last year. His combine scores can be attributed to all the distractions.

I have hope Hicks and Jordan can develop into a Watt like presence.

Watt's true strength is his football IQ. I've never heard anyone discuss defensive line play more intelligently than him.

I just hope we absolutely NAIL our first pick & we let Martez LOOSE in 2013!

It is highly likely that there will be a talented pass rusher at #15. All the of the players are rising and falling.And teams are sending out disinformation and starting rumors. IMHO, J.Jones, D.Jordan B Mingo, B Werner,E.Ansah. I would think that any of these player would be an upgrade.

Mingo reminds me of Renaldo Turnbull or Jevon Kearse; he'll have an impact and be gone in four years...

Picking at our current spot, I'd love to draft a player that will be there for eight-ten years...

If he's there take him.

Mingo would be a poor pick at 15... he may go in the first but 15 is way to early for him. He has potential, but has not put up the numbers we should be looking for (sacks).

I would rather have ANYONE that is projected to go to us in a mock draft aside from Mingo. He is the homer pick, and a poor pick at 15.

Okay then from your statement, we should eliminate Dion Jordan and Ansah from our board too. They don't have the "sacks" we're looking for either. There are more to judging players then their sack numbers.
