Melvin Ingram....its Meant To Happen

I've never seen him play besides highlights, but my brother has and he says that whoever gets him is gonna be lucky. I've been hearing about how versatile he is and his high motor. If we go DL with our first pick, take him. You know he's gonna work. Seen that he's been working out with Von Miller too, so that's a plus. Anything else I need to know about this man Mr.JasonLuckyDog?

Don't know where he fits in the defense, not a true 4-3 end, maybe he can play OLB and then DE on third downs

Rivera is a guy that likes to give multiple looks/formations. A guy as versatile as Ingram would be a boon to our defense. He can rush the passer from pretty much any place you put him.

I'm definitely on the Melvin Ingram wagon. There isn't a player in this draft that is more versatile than that man. I mean, did you watch the tape? What didn't he do?

Ingram has the speed, awareness, and instinct to play rush linebacker.

Ingram has the strength, hand technique, and agility to play defensive end.

Ingram has the power, experience, and toughness to even line up at defensive tackle.

And like chknwing said, we have experienced in the 3-4 before and we could be making the permanent switch soon. He can do whatever you tell him to do, and excel at it.

At 276 lbs, I just don't see this guy anywhere near the DT position in the NFL. However, I do like what they could do with him off the edge rushing the passer. Would not be disappointed at all if he were our pick.

    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
