I see Mingo at LB. He's going to be a guy that is going to take a while to play defense (suspect he will be a special teams beast though early) just due to rawness but he's so athletic and I feel he lacks the ability to put on enough weight to really play DE. He just seems like a leaner guy that won't necessarily get to 250-260 for a pass rushing option very easily. I love his upside though but I think we have to prepare to be patient with Mingo.

I agree. I just think this is the wrong defense for him to be a OLB in. He's not an instinctive player or good in space, and you need to be both of those for Chavis. I'd rather just keep things simple for him and have him attack the QB from WDE.

At first I agreed with yall that he was an OLB, but the more I watched, the more I just don't think it can work. Who knows though.
