Razor Not an LSU fan, but I've been calling him overrated all along. Great physical talent doesn't always translate to the field, and in this case it was pretty obvious that he lacked the strength and technique to be considered a top prospect. So look for Seattle to draft him in the top 20... *sigh*

That is nonsense, for one sure Seattle was ripped for taking Bruce Irvin so high after that down year he had, but that is turning out to be a great pickup, along with the very solid Seattle defensive unit overall. As for Mingo, sure he might not be productive but he is a 3/4 OLB prospect, and with that athletic ability, it will benefit him more in that setting where he drops in coverage more often than being a 4/3 pass rusher down after down. Sure overrated, but only in the sense he is not worthy of being a top 1 or 2 pick in the draft.
And like AntoinCD said, he still gets pressure, sure might not get sacks but he gets after it and gains penetration quite often. It is like calling Jared Allen a bad pass rusher because he only has two sacks this season.
