Patriots got a Mango?????

[Judge Fudge]

Whoops.

Sorry misread

Cleveland Browns trading Barkevious Mingo to Patriots

 

[Rex Racer]

Essentially they traded Brian Stork for this guy.

We'll see if BB can light a fire under this dude's butt and get him going.

Can't really expect someone with the nickname Kiki to do much in the NFL.

As a unbiased observer. I would too.

The guy has talent but because it was Cleveland. Never showed it

should be "an unbiased."

You're welcome.

I hope sso. The Pats LB corps is a bit thin right now due to injuries and it would be nice if Mingo can step in and get after the QB.

Dude still has the coolest name in the league

I haven't watched a Browns game in a couple of years, but I thought he looked decent for a while there didn't he?

The Mingo ate your baby.

 

[Judge Fudge]

Read on tsn.ca. that it was for a 2015 5th rounder.

I do not believe that however

That is why Cleveland was so quick to trade him

Trading picks from the past? Talk about cheating...the $hit they pull! Then again, this sounds like a deal the Browns would go for...

Not exactly. Stork brought them a possible 7th round pick where Mingo brings in a 5th round pick. Decent difference in value. I would also add I don't think it is a conditional 5th round pick where the 7th rounder for Stork is. So Stork has to make the roster for the Redskins in order for the Patriots to get the pick.

Not sure you can blame it on Cleveland. Of course that's easy to do but look @ Trent Richardson. Another high 1st round pick of the Browns. He got traded & still sucked.

 

[Davis_Mike]

A good risk to take. Financially, it's a no-brainer one year flyer with zero risk.

Most 5-7th round picks don't make the roster of the team that drafted him & generally land on the practice squad or the roster of another team.

Meh, both late round picks which is why I said essentially instead of exactly. New England just flipped a guy with concussion issues and a growing attitude issue for an underachieving first round (#6) pick. Not too bad if Mingo contributes.

I guess depends a bit on how early or late the picks are in the round. An early 5th round pick compared to that of a late 7th round pick is a pretty big gap. A late 5th round pick compared to an early 7th round pick though really not a whole lot of difference at that point.

I'm not saying the trade isn't worth it for the Patriots on either trade. My guess is Stork wasn't going to make the 53-man roster anyway so might as well get a little value for him and Mingo has a little upside especially at a position that has suffered some pretty bad injuries lately for the Pats. I'm very interested to see how the Pats handle all these guys that are possibly going to miss games into the season that are not on the PUP and with only one IR Designated to return tag that they can use.

My guess is that the 5th rounder the Pats sent over for Mingo will be a late in the round pick while the Redskins will fork over a middle of the round selection.

If Stork shows up in D.C. with good health and a good atttitude Washington got a steal.
