Interesting fact about Mingo

[RustyBourneHorse]

Among 72 WRs with at least 50 receptions since the start of last season, Jonathan Mingo ranks:

- 72nd in receiving yards (539)
- 71st in yards per route run (0.75)
- 72nd in catch rate (49.5%)


So, that's worth a 4th round pick, huh?

I can not understand how a paid NFL scout looked into this kids time as an NFL player and thought he was worth a 4th round pick. Maybe a 6th at best. Teams are laughing at this front office.

Panthers are probably shocked they found an idiot to give them a 4th round pick.

Does he have position flex???

There is as no payment
Jerry worked on this pro bono
This is the “advantage” of the owner being the GM and scout

Don't care honestly. His supposed athleticism isn't matching on-field production so i do not care if he test as the fastest most athletic person ever to touch a field. Whatever the case is his production is way too low on the field where it actually matters. Maybe he's not smart enough to understand concepts, or he can't run routes, or he can't catch. Fact is carolina is giving up on him quick and decided they are better off with a 4th round pick than try to develop him any further and their receiving corps sucks.

You traded for what he can become but no they over traded.

It's because they looked at his draft position and evaluation, not what he did with the Panthers.

The way the FO analyzed this was essentially "Hey, we wanted this guy in the 2nd just a year ago and when he got taken before us we settled with Schoonmaker. This way we basically get a 2nd round pick for a 4th and keep the guy we actually drafted! What a deal!"

That, of course, isn't how any of this really works but I can't imagine any other way they assigned that value to him.

He’s 6’2 220 and ran a 4.4….that will do it lol.

 

[beware_d-ware]

In fairness to Mingo, that volume was being served up to him by an awful QB in a broken offense.

He is still young enough and talented enough (fast enough, LOL) to be worth another look, but you have to discount his trade price for what he has shown on the field. And that isn't much.

Yup, same with the 49ers last year when we offered one for Lance.

It was a joke my friend.

Unload your trash on Jerry, 49ers did it, now Carolina. Worst FO in the league.

 

[MarcusRock]

So you're saying he's got nowhere to go but up? I like those odds!

 

[ClappingCarrot]

My favorite Mingo play was when Dallas played Carolina here in Charlotte last season and Bland ran his route for him and took it to the house.

Mingo is an intriguing prospect because he's kind of built like Deebo, but this was an egregious overpay.

i need mac malones take lol

To me this is what is very disturbing. Did Jerry make this decision himself without any input from others? Was Will McClay consulted? Were any of the scouts? There is no way that I can accept that a scout analyzed who's available for a 4th and comes up with Mingo. Was Chris Olave from the Saints not available for a 4th? Did they reach out to Seattle to see what they would have taken for Metcalf? The clown show in Dallas has now taken on a whole new dimension of idiocy.

Maybe Jerry is actually his biological father. Let's not rule that out.
