The Gipper Posted March 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 We thought that about Gilbert (sixth from steelers) and Mingo (fifth from Pats) as well... Those were both good values for those guys. What a fucked up FO we had in the guys that chose those guys #6 and #8 overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still seems like we could have found a use for Mingo if somebody had taking the time. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSS Well, it seems that your boy BB ended up having no use for him.....and we know how good a defensive coach he is, and if he thinks the guy can't cut the mustard, I think the pretty much tells you what you want to know about him.

TexasAg1969 Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Well BillyB got Hightowter back after testing FA market. And the Browns can't seem to do this somehow. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000793250/article/donta-hightower-to-sign-fouryear-deal-with-patriots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Steve Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Are you talking to Belichick? Oh just talking about anybody in general. Mingo always seemed like one of the good guys with some physical talent and I hate to see somebody like that fall short in the NFL. That's about it.

Mingo always seemed like one of the good guys with some physical talent and I hate to see somebody like that fall short in the NFL. That's about it. WSS I'm kinda with you on that. He had speed and size, and it seems like he could cover well enough. With the amount of 'mismatch' tight ends around these days, I'd rather see Mingo covering them than say Paul Kruger or Carl Nassib or someone. From a 4-3 OLB kind of spot you could see him in a coverage role with some occasional blitzing to use his speed around the edge maybe. But what do I know - clearly nothing if even Billy B couldn't get anything out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet BillyB said to Hightower, go establish your value on the market and then we'll come up with a contract. I doubt he was ever going to end up somewhere else (read this article after typing this up, but they are saying same thing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSS I hate to see high Cleveland Browns draft picks fall short. Yet...they almost all seem to do so. So...now we have two more. Are they going to turn into Mingos/Gilberts/Manziels....or something else, you know, like live up to their draft status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 I bet BillyB said to Hightower, go establish your value on the market and then we'll come up with a contract. And with the report I heard that Hightower is now the 2nd highest paid ILB in the league, I'd say it was mission accomplished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
