Barkevious Mingo to meet with Panthers

[XClown1986]

What is interesting is the Panthers also met with Bruce Irvin last year who is a fit as a "Leo" linebacker. Maybe this position is being more looked at as an answer to the passing league. See Von Miller, Aldon Smith, Bruce Irvin, etc.

[La Pantera]

See him going to the taints.

[Growl]

I would have thought the same thing but why waste a visit for due diligence?

what the heck are you talking about?

"i mean yeah, sure, but why waste this precious visi when Gettleman could be at Shoneys?"

[stirs]

He and Ziggy are very hot prospects at the moment. Ziggy will be way gone along with Jordan, but Mingo might be there and NO will be salivating over the hometown boy.

TRADE down time

[LinvilleGorge]

Do not want.

[MrBubba]

See him going to the taints.

Maybe trying to make Saints nervous and move up to get him ahead of us. Also entice someone like Steelers who might be interested in moving up for him by dealing with us.

And at the same time scouting someone who may land in our division.

Hummm worth a look. wouldn't advise picking him but, wouldn't be overly end of the world pissed.

Yea, looks like he has the talent and could be a VERY good pass rusher OLB, but I see almost 0 chance we take him unless like XClown said we're taking him to be a Von Miller. No way in hell I'd want a Bruce Irvin in the 1st, but Von Miller was an out-of-scheme gamble that paid off for the Broncos. More likely this is just trying to create buzz to encourage a trade of some sort, whether it's us trading down or baiting the Saints to trade up (dual purpose: Saints give up draft picks, making them weaker and also pushing another player down that we might have been interested in).

Every coin has two sides. FOR EXAMPLE ONLY: If we draft a DE, trade Johnson for a solid RG, and save cap room, then....

[Iceberg Slim]

I cannot nor ever will take serious someone namee Barkevious

[Dex]

Move to make the Saints sweat a little bit. Nice move G money.

[methodtoll]

Or maybe the Panthers are just evaluating talent. They will look at all avenues whether it is a need or not and furthermore, we have one of the best talent evaluaters in a GM since he has been doing it for years. Try not to read to much into it.

No RG is worth a top DE like Johnson. That would be like trading a QB for a CB. The value difference in the two positions is too great.
