re: No depth at DE next year

People killed me earlier when I said Mingo and Big Sam are late 1st and 2nd round picks. Mingo has great straight line speed, but struggles to redirect and breakdown and make the play, thus he overruns a lot of plays. This will hurt him because he is too small to play DE and everyone expects him to be able to play LB.

Bingo! There is a reason he did not play OLB for for us and it's not because we run 4-3. He did not start last year and four or five DE's besides him were in the rotation in Adams, Sam, lavar, Rasco, Aghayere. The glaring weakness of our defense was OLB. If he really could play the position he would have been playing it last year. He has no chance of playing DE because he almost is to thin to play OLB in the NFL. For someone to be drafted that high that averages 3 tackles a game and 1/3 of sack a game and will be playing a position that he was not very good at in high school is insane.

I agree, He is a very one dimisinal player right now. Good tall thin straight line speed rusher. Really needs another year, like Montgomery, to put on some weight and develop his game. Late 1st, probably 2nd round pick right now.
