JetNation Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Kristian Dyer of Metro is reporting that the Jets have interest in former Cleveland Browns and Indianapolis Colts defensive end/outside linebacker Barkevious Mingo.

In five pro seasons, Mingo is credited with 9 sacks primarily as a pass-rush specialist in 78 games (23 starts). Click here to read the full story...

ScarletKnight89 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I hope they stay away from him. Great physical tools but it's never materialized into much at the NFL level. I'd much rather they go after Adrian Clayborn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenorGato Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Maybe he can be what Dion Jordan was for the Seahawks? At this point anyone cheap and low commit that even might rush the passer, defend the pass, pass the ball well, or catch the ball well is worth kicking the tires on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Smith kind of screams out off the top of my head. Robert Gallery also, once they moved him to guard, though he wasn't 5 years busting at LT. Ted Ginn was a starting WR for the Saints even last year. No one saw that coming after his first 5. maybe Bradford you could make an argument for Claiborne after last year Really good question, though. I had to look up a couple of these like Ginn.

CrazyCarl40 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Whenever I see the name Barkevius Mingo I say it like Val Kilmer said Johnny Ringo. And in this case, the Jets should not be his huckleberry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginn is a good one -- I think half the TDs he scored in his first 3 seasons were against us. Gallery was ok early on -- not what you want out of a top 3 pick, but I am not sure I would consider him a bust to the same degree as Mingo. Smith/Bradford -- QBs are a little different. They usually have a steep learning curve and long careers, so its not unusual for a QB to start slowly. Claiborne -- maybe. Have to see where his career goes from here.

So it is hard to argue with this one, although Maybin did not go Top 10. But I am pretty sure he is far and away the highest ranked artist from the 2009 first round.
