NFL Radio on Browns, Mingo

Pat Kirwan doesn't agree with many of our local barstool talent scouts and GMs and says the Mingo pick was just about a no-brainer sans a successful trade-down.

He likes several cornerbacks who will make it into the third round, and says "You can find your way to a cornerback in this draft.  You can't find your way to Mingo".

Kirwan differs with those who say that Mingo can't take on blockers, citing more than one occasion when Mingo crashed into a guard and then made a tackle.  He says Mingo is "wiry-strong" and will probably get up to around 245, but not bigger...but that's just fine for what they want him to do, and he can succeed at 235 right now.

Now, according to sources, Joe Banner came down with acute Pinnochioitis and had to have most of a pool-cue sized shcnozz sawed off so they could get him back to his hotel room last night.

Yeah he wanted Mingo more than Ansah and Jordan, so bad that he had a deal in place to trade up for him.  Yeah I believe that a whole bunch of people liked him better than the three left tackles or the aforementioned two de/olb's.

And he never considered trading down when the guy he wanted all along fell to him at six.

Well, he might have considered some if his phone rang one time, but it didn't, so technicly he didn't really lie much.  Sorta.

Anyhow, probably nobody traded and Jordan/Ansah weren't there but Mingo is quicker/faster than both so they nabbed him and made the rest up.
