Fifth rounder? eh......

that's practically nothing. how many fifth rounders are impact? we have to get really lucky to hit.

i'm by no means a mingo fan (screamed at the TV when we drafted him), but damn, have to get some kind of investment on our return.

Not many 5th rounders have huge impact. The top performers coming out of the 5th round from 2010 to 2014 are as follows:

Richard Sherman

Cam Chancellor

Reshad Jones

Kendrick Lewis

Josh Norman

Buster Skrine

Riley Cooper

Some good players, but yes, they are few and far between.

"Top performer....BUSTER SKRINE"

HAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHA

Mingo should be embarrassed. seems he just wasn't all that into the game. or something.

The Emperor Mingo gone .....Manziel gone ....just Gilbert and Shelton to shift of our first round draft picks who are not very good ....

calfoxwc

big mistake mentioning Shelton. otherwise, sure.

Exactly. These coaches don't know how to utilize dick.

Belichick is plucking our best D talent and laughing about it.

Yea, well, yes, he was one of the best 5th round performers that came out in that 5 year period. That should tell you what that 5th round pick may be worth.

I agree, we trade a 6th overall pick for a fifth rounder.

However, Mingo was going to be a FA at the end of the 2016 season.

I'm glad we were able to get something out of him.

I hate to say it but your probably right, Seems like Belicheat can turn horseshit into gold

As has been said, he appeared on his way to being cut and we should be happy that we got SOMETHING for him.

I didn't like the pick from instant one......but I like the guy. He did everything we asked him to do without complaining. He played an entire season with one arm. Granted he was never very good.

I wish him well.

miktoxic

sheard - browns. shows great motor. knows how to get after QB.

browns solution: have him play OLB. patriots: have him play his position DE.

mingo - ditto.

calfoxwc

that opens the door to a position spot for one of the instinctive, physical lb's.

Just makes sense. Good luck to Mingo - until he's with the patriot scum and is on the roster. ?

miktoxic

man if the patriots are scum then i guess i'd hope the browns were at least filth.

LMK when the franchise in NE ohio now, as it is, compares to what the patriots have done the last 2 decades............and i ain't talking pre 90s.

bunch of homers.

And who would that be??......dont look now, but Mingo leads the OLB's in tackles so far this spring .....

So, it's Schobert, Johnson and Neal....

Oh, and I see they still have Ogbah listed as an OLB.....started him at OLB, then moved him back to DE and now, maybe, moving him back to OLB?????

Not so sure thats how you handle a top pick and get him started on the right foot.....nope, not at all.....

Mingo is not Sheard.

Mingo is soft and dumb. Shears is a man.

We just got a free fifth round chip for nothing.

If he plays well for the Patriots I will hunt him down!!

It certainly didn't do Erving any good.

I was kinda' hoping that the new coaches wouldn't do that.

nickers

I've said it before.. I'll say it again .. Mingo does NOT HAVE the killer intinct needed to play the position.. Mingo is a WUSSIE!...Adios!

If I was in poll to choose who would be the first NFL player to come out as homo, Barky would be my first round pick.

"BOTTOM LINE

Developmental 3-4 rush-linebacker prospect with the pedigree and sack production to warrant interest. However, Jeffcoat will need to get stronger and improve vs. the run to ever become more than a backup."

Jeffcoat is about as quick, far more instinctive, far more a physical player.

His instincts, football smarts, leadership, and physicality is far superior to Mingo. Trading Mingo is a no-brainer.

Jeffcoat LOVES THE GAME. THAT fits the Browns football player profile.
