Junior GM Chicken Little

It's always frustrated me that dumb people are too dumb to know when they've been humiliated by smart people, and just keep blabbering.  I had to leave the forums--same old negative, irrational bullcrap.

As a junior, Barkevious Mingo was used on the strong side, and was frequently double-teamed.  He was used in coverage occasionally.  Had he been used on the weak side and actually rushed more often, he would have had more sacks.  He also rotated in and out a lot, missing a lot of time on the field.  I'm not sure I understand his Coach.

Mike Krupka, Pat Kirwin and others have talked about this, and it's well-known to everybody who does their homework (or at least pays attention to those who do.)  Mingo was schemed out of a lot of sacks as a junior.

I personally liked Ansah the best, because he had size and strength to go with his quickness and speed, but Ansah and Dion were gone.

I don't buy that Mingo won't get bigger.  I mean, is this because he's hardwired not to store FAT?  And nobody said he won't get stronger.  He sure as hell will get stronger in the NFL, and that's more important.

He's very much like Jordan athleticly, with the fluid hips and speed to cover (and by that I mean run with big wide recievers, let alone tight ends).  He hasn't done as much of that as Jordan, and needs more refinement and polish--but he has similar upside and was the best available.

The bloom is off the Milliner rose since others besides me realized that Horton will almost never run any other coverage than press/man.  In that coverage, Milliner is about the same as half a dozen other corners in this draft.  And balls tend to bounce off his hands.

But it's ignorant to call Milliner "slow", or to say that he's inferior in man coverage.  You're on my side but you blow my credibility and embarrass me.  Milliner is an excellent cornerback.

And I just knew that one of you would have to ask who would ever give up a second round pick for Jabaal Sheard.  You mean for a young, experienced strong side defensive end who can rush the passer and stop the run?  Yeah who would ever want something like that when those guys are a dime-a-dozen in the second round?

.......Ok that was sarcasm.  Lots of teams in need of a defensive end would gladly cough up a shot-in-the-dark second rounder for Sheard OR Rubin DUH.

That's if they peddle them.  But who knows?  Horton might say "screw the cornerback I want ALL these guys!"

GOOD PICK.
