I don’t think he has much of a chance at all.
Here are our tiers, with nods to classic 80’s fantasy/sf movies
“We are the saviors of the universe”
- Pickens - Big physical downfield contested ball
- Lamb - Big, versatile YAC
- Fluornoy - Physical fast contested ball
“Three receivers enter, one receiver cut“
- Kavontae Turpin - Fast versatile elusive gadget - pretty much a lock due to special teams and the go go gadget aspect.
- Marquez Valdes-Scantling - Big fast vertical - his speed and downfield threat factor as well as the fact they went after him in the off season gives him the edge. Early word from OTAs and minicamp were also positive.
- Johnathan Mingo - Big physical possession (womp, womp, sad trombone)
“There can be only one (or none)
- Traeshon Holden - Big physical possession
- Camden Brown - Big physical red zone and contested ball
- Jordan Hudson - Big physical possession
- Denzel Mims - Big fast vertical
- Tyler Johnson - Physical possession
Mingo absolutely must beat out
Holden, Brown, Hudson and Johnson or he’s - hundred percent gone. They are similar enough to him that the better performer stays That entire final group are all headed to the practice squad or free agency unless the team goes with a sixth receiver or there is an injury.
Holden probably has the edge for a sixth spot unless one of the others balls out. He also seems to have some chemistry with Dak.
For what it’s worth, Mingo’s “plus” side is that he’s really big and is a willing blocker. He’ll also play special teams
If he beats out those guys, he still has to beat out either Scantling or Turpin which, as mentioned is an extreme long shot
@Stash I’m afraid your man Mims is likely a goner. He didn’t even play very well in the UFL. He’s also too similar to Scantling and Mingo but with even less accomplishment than Mingo. He looks like he was added as insurance.
