I thought I saw him say not fill it all with UDFA's, keeping spots open for vets and XFL guys

Yeah that QB was not hitting him in stride to say the least from what I've seen. Haven't watched full tape yet though so who knows why rebel rouser thinks he can't get separation. I see nice routes and good long speed for the size

I'd expect everyone to stuff the run and force ridder to throw the ball. I don't think us focusing on D-line run guys is a coincidence

It's not like I'm comparing him to Elijah Moore. He's the same build as AJ Brown. What would be your player comp for Mingo?

I watched some Cam Peoples highlights yesterday and didn't seem like anything special considering the type of power guy we could use.

He was the 21st ranked DE right behind Byron Young who went two spots ahead. Serious drop off after that. We went for need, and the only possible regret with that is we chose Johnson over KJ Henry who was also available

The serious lack of ILB's might have Chinn moving up closer to the ball. He's kinda the only guy that can cover TE's, we got a lot of safeties but they're all sub 6'. It was obvious last year it was a waste to have Chinn sitting back at FS so the closer to the ball the better

It's apparent we took advantage of the deep 5th year senior Covid class. Eku was projected 5th round by NFL.com. Family is in Asheville but he's from Somoa, so Luvu will probably be stoked.

Interesting. Watching his highlights I wouldn't be surprised if he gives YGM some trouble in camp. Looks good against the run, looks slower than ideal when rushing but seems to get good pressure at least

Yeah the FA market is not good either, so hopefully he'll show some motivation from this new coaching staff.

The list of Wr's that were available at 80 or wherever we picked, not good. I think since we have Burns it'll be easier to have a committee approach at OLB vs hoping AT Perry or Boutte could be a starting receiver. Also you can't draft 2 sub 6' players back to back so Mingo was the right pick at the position.

Seems like Evero is a no bs kinda guy.

I guess PFF, dunno how to view the full list https://zonecoverage.com/2020/minnesota-vikings-news/what-should-we-make-of-yannick-ngakoues-poor-numbers-against-the-run/#:~:text=Out of 70 defensive ends,43rd of 57 in 2017.

If Mingo is anywhere close to AJ Brown it'll be a steal. He actually runs good routes I noticed watching tape, people don't really give him much credit for that

He ranked like 68th out 70 among starters in 2020.

I wonder how that works leverage wise now? I get teams waiting to see if they could draft one first. It seems like we're going to rotate a lot so I wonder how much they're willing to spend on a guy that's weak against the run? I like him but Haynes might put up the same amount of sacks if given the same amount of snaps

It's a shame Mel Kiper has a career predicting young peoples futures.

No wonder Campen was fuging stoked. Fitt said every team was trying to downplay him so they could grab him around this pick.

Yeah, Brady is cool but Campen loves him some tough Motherfugers or what he said when he cussed like 10 times in his opening presser last year. They didn't outright say it but I could see Brady going back to swing tackle/starting right guard while Corbett is out and letting the NC state boys road grade on the left side with Boze in the middle. After Bryce the theme seems to be dudes not scared to hit, which is something we've had an issue with for a while

Probably already posted but dude can straight man handle dudes, time stamped. Might wanna wanna educate him on NFL unnecessary roughness rules tho

He'll be nasty on special teams immediately. Him, Franklin, Brandon Smith gonna bring the energy and get some crucial field position/turnovers

Damn Jammie is smaller than I imagined but he be sticking dudes. He's not playing around with that 23 bench press number! He does a lot of ripping, gotta add the peanut punch to his repertoire
