SEC dominates the NFL Draft and LSU sets a record
The LSU Tigers set an NFL Draft record by having 6 defensive players taken in the first 3 rounds of the draft. Yes, Tyrann Mathieu counts towards that number because the last school he played for was, you guessed it, LSU.
No. 6: Barkevious Mingo, Cleveland Browns
No. 18: Eric Reid, San Francisco 49ers
No. 45: Kevin Minter, Arizona Cardinals
No. 67: Bennie Logan, Philadelphia Eagles...
LSU has 8 defensive players drafted
LSU opponents often felt as if they were playing an NFL defense when they faced the Tigers.
Turns out, they weren't wrong.
The Tigers had eight defensive players selected during the three-day, seven-round NFL draft.
LSU defenders started coming off the board Thursday in the first round when outside linebacker Barkevious Mingo went No. 6 to Cleveland; safety Eric Reid also...
Joe Banner and Rob Chudzinski on first round draft pick Barkevious Mingo
Following Cleveland’s selection of LSU LB/DE Barkevious Mingo, team CEO Joe Banner and head coach Rob Chudzinski talked with the media about the pick.
Joe Banner spoke about Mingo’s character-
“He is very high character, very hard working, extraordinarily competitive naturally, this guy. We’ve talked about bringing in aggressive players to play an aggressive scheme. He fits...
Mingo, Reid Go in 2013 NFL First Round
The first round of the NFL Draft has come and gone which saw two LSU Tigers hear their names called. Barkevious Mingo went 6th overall to the Browns while Eric Reid was picked 18th by the San Francisco 49ers. Kevin Minter, who was a fringe candidate for the first round, did not get to hear his name called (nor did Manti Te'o, for that matter). He'll be among the many Tigers...
Mingo adds to Browns pass rush group
BEREA, Ohio -- The next time Joe Banner says the Cleveland Browns priority is to get after the quarterback and they are not leaning toward taking a quarterback in the first round of the NFL Draft well lets get on board.Because with the sixth pick, the Browns bypassed a quarterback (thank goodness) and took the best pass rusher available, which isnt all that bad when its all taken...
2013 NFL Draft: Cleveland Browns Snag Barkevious Mingo
The Cleveland Browns finished the 2012 season in the basement of the AFC North with a 5-11 record.They headed into this year's Draft with a new front office, new coaching staff and a very young group of core players on offense.With the addition of free agents Paul Kruger (LB from Baltimore), Quentin Groves (LB from ) and Desmond Bryant (DL from Oakland) this off-season, the Browns...
Jets take CB Milliner 9th overall
It's safe to say Dee Milliner has some big shoes to fill.Five days after new general manager John Idzik traded all-pro cornerback Darrelle Revis to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the New York Jets selected Alabama DB Dee Milliner with the ninth overall selection in Thursday's NFL Draft.Many thought the Jets would target a pass rusher like LSU OLB Barkevious Mingo or an offensive...
NFL Draft: Cleveland Browns Select Barkevious Mingo
With the 6th pick in the NFL draft, the Cleveland Browns selected Barkevious Mingo.
Mingo, a Junior Defensive End from LSU, is an impressive pass rusher who has been part of one of college football’s best defenses the last 3 seasons. With the Browns switching to a 3-4 defense they will hope Mingo can provide them the edge rush and consistent pressure the defense needs.
Here’s...
Browns select DE Barkevious Mingo at 6
BEREA, Oh --There was no trade. There was no quarterback. There was no cornerback at the Browns most arguable need with the first pick.
But the Browns did add to their arsenal of pass rushers as they took LSUs Barkevious Mingo with the sixth pick overall.
Mingo (6-4, 241) ran a 4.6 in the 40-yard dash. NFLDraftScout.com described Mingo as a quick twitch pass rusher with extraordinary...
Cleveland Browns select Barkevious Mingo
The Cleveland Browns selected LSU defensive end/outside linebacker Barkevious Mingo with No. 6 overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. Mingo was the third pass rusher selected in the first six picks of the draft, showing the emphasis on pass pressure in today's NFL.
Mingo didn't put up huge numbers at LSU, but his potential is as high as anyone's in the draft. Mingo can...
And with 6th overall pick in the 2013 NFL draft the Cleveland Browns select…
Barkevious Mingo DE from the Louisiana State University. This is a great pick for the Browns who struggled on defense for the last half decade. Mingo can get up field and after the QB as well as run stop. He should be a main stay for the Browns defense that they can build around for years to come. Geax Tigers and Geax Browns.
First Round NFL Draft Grades: Cleveland Browns
PICK: Barkevious Mingo, DE/OLB, LSUANALYSIS: I hate this pick. Mingo just ins't that good. Cleveland already got their pass rusher in free agency, and didn't need to take a chance on a bum like Mingo with the sixth overall selection. I think he will be a bust very early on, similar to Maybin in 2009. Cleveland will regret not taking Smith or Milliner here I believe.

Browns Select LSU LB Barkevious Mingo (Rd.1, No.6)
With the 6th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the Browns select LSU LB Barkevious Mingo. Mingo looks almost too lean to handle the physicality of NFL linemen, but has surprising strength to go along with the elite length and straight-line speed to rack up double-digit sack numbers (he had eight in 2011) and track down ball carriers (15 tackles for loss) as a 3-4 rush linebacker...
Is it going to be the Mingo, Austin show?
It's tonight! The 2013 NFL Draft gets underway at the stroke of 8pm EST on the clock.
Scenarios are swirling around the New York Jets organization, but the two names that seem to keep surfacing are pass-rush specialist out of LSU, Barkevious Mingo, and play-maker extrodinare, WR Tavon Austin, out of WVU.
DE/OLB Barkevious Mingo is known for shedding blocks, on his...

Today’s the big day! The first round of the 2013 NFL Draft starts tonight at 8:00 pm EST, so it’s time to sneak in one last first-round mock draft. I decided to have some fun and make a few trades. Surely there will be many more unpredictable trades, but here’s a bit of what I see happening in this draft:
- A swap between Detroit and Oakland is highly publicized right now,...

It all starts Thursday night with the primetime First...

Jets Hoping To Trade Down From No. 9 Overall?

Cimini adds that the Jets would like to acquire some additional draft picks, which makes sense when you consider the number of roster holes they currently have.
Reports have indicated that...

Atlanta Falcons Draft Outlook: Defensive End
With the draft being just around the corner, I decided instead of a full defensive end preview, I will incorporate a mock draft for defensive ends. The way this works is that for each draft pick I give a scenario where Atlanta would take a defensive end. Below is who I believe Atlanta will draft next week if they opt to take a defensive end in the first few rounds. There is a trade...

Alabama cornerback Dee Milliner has emerged as the No. 1 draft priority for the Browns, sources close to the situation told Draftinsider.net's Tony Pauline on Tuesday. If Milliner is off the board, LSU pass rusher Barkevious Mingo is the "contingency" plan.
The Browns might believe they can get Milliner a few spots later, as reportedly they are trying to trade down...
2013 NFL Draft Outside Linebackers: Brown, Moore, Jones, Mingo, Jordan
Not much of a surprise, but we were the website that called Von Miller a few years ago despite many analysts dubbing him a one trick pony, whose limited pass rush moves would eventually catch up to him and make him lesser than what most GM's were valuing him to be. Now, the experts in linebackers bring you the 5 best 2013 NFL Draft outside linebackers to be next in line for greatness...
