his 1st year playing football was his sophomore season. He didn't even know the rules of the game when he walked on, and has only played 3 years. He's completely mold-able and extremely intelligent
Thats great and all, but year three he isn't exactly beasting it. Despite his physical gifts. I am sorry but moldable isn't that impressive to me. He barely knows how to play football, and now he has to learn at the NFL level. HIs greatest accomplishment at BYU was having what would have been considered a disappointing year for Mingo.
Intelligence is great, but it doesn't make up for instinct. I don't know a lot about Ansah so i am not going to say he is going to be a bust, but i think he is getting a pass.

I don't see how you can hate Mingo and love Ansah? Both have issues.
Mingo's issues: doesn't weight enough for ST, not enough pass rushing moves.
Ansah's issues: stamina issues*, production issues, competition issues, football knowledge/instincts, pass rushing moves?
I think it's a case of familiarity breeding contempt with Mingo. If he played for Michigan St., we'd all love him.
* Per NFL.com - "Has admitted to a lack of stamina. Fatigue is noticeable after a few plays of rushing the passer."

I want Mingo more.
The option to say "A Mingo at the QB" is much more appealing than when Ziggy gets a sack and I scream "now that's the Ansah!"
That's right. I base my picks on catch phrases.

they are both project prospects, except that Ansah is clearly more talented.
they'll both have to learn a completely new system with the 3-4. Mingo didn't exactly set the world on fire at LSU (same amount of sacks as Mingo)
Jimmy Graham had 213 receiving yardes in college. You take elite talent when you can get it
