I was so bummed when he didn't fall within range of the Saints, and it was worse that he was going to CLEVELAND of all places. They're getting a great athlete and a great character guy for that franchise and that frozen city.

Every rookie signs a 4 year deal, 1st pick last 2 years was 22 million. It's all on a rookie wage scale now. For 5th year any other player selected in the top 10, would receive a salary that is the average of the salaries of the top 10 players in the league at his position. Thats best I got

Mingos a stand up guy and not only represented LSU great, but all the state of Louisiana.

Barkevious Mingo, the Cleveland Browns' first-round NFL draft pick, is featured in a story on Cleveland.com, which notes the two dynasties associated with his hometown of West Monroe: high school football and "Duck Dynasty."

Cleveland actually has quite a bit of talent on defense. They just need a qb. These dudes just want to get paid. They don't care where, nor should they.

Hopefully the transition from 4-3 to 3-4 is smooth. We are relying in two guys (Mingo and Sheard) to play OLB that have only played DE in the past.

The hope is Weeden makes a big step in this offense which should suit him more.

I wasnt happy with the pick, and am still not, but it had nothing to do with Mingo.

Not really. Raiders never should have paid him that much and older players were pitching a hissy fit. Not Jmarcs fault.
