Smitty's development into a WR coach is going great. Was this the WR they fell in love with at the combine and were being secretive about? 

Glad the defensive stuff was just talk. He doesn't have an explosive burst but he's still fast, good hands. A great route runner is getting to get fed heavy by Bryce in this offense.

Hope it pans out nicely but I think Mingo is going to be lost in the shuffle this year and round 2 was a bit high to take him for the type of production hes put out. Unless the coaches just play favorites because they drafted him. Chark and Theilen are still the #1 and #2 after this draft so everyone else is fighting for WR3 and WR4 snaps. Laviska should probably be the #3 with TMJ at the 4 right now. It’s just a weird pick for a dude who wasn’t that productive in college until his fourth year and even then it wasn’t exactly an explosive season around 800 yards. Dude was well shy of 1k. And it’s odd to me to spend a second round pick on a guy who isn’t going to be a starter.

So is the battle for the 6th spot down to Byrd/Shi? I'm guessing Shenault is safe

[MHS831]

I think I 'd take Mingo over Quinten Johnston.

I'm really loving this pick now, just found out the saints were going pick him at 40

He had so many top-30s...scouts and fans online were all about him.  He was on many draft wishlists within other fanbases.

We never get those guys!! Finally landed one haha.

Our WR room is looking pretty diverse.  We're a lot taller than we're used to which is nice.  

Name (Age) Height | 40 time

Adam Thielen (32) 6'2 | ~4.5 (guesstimate) 

Terrace Marshall Jr. (22) 6'2 | 4.38

DJ Chark (26) 6'4 | 4.34

Jonathan Mingo (22) 6'2 | 4.46

Laviska Shenault (24) 6'1 | 4.58

Shi Smith (24) 5'10 | 4.43

Damiere Byrd (30) 5'9 | ~4.4 (was 4.28 as a rookie)

I get Moose vibes with Mingo.  Excited to see him develop 

[mc52beast]

We have a staff now that can actually coach players and get them to attain their potential. Let these guys learn the game before calling them bad picks.

Reminds me of Hakeem Nicks. Catches everything, good contact balance, and just has that attitude that he doesn’t care what CBs do.

[WOW!!]

BIG I !!!!!!

[pantherj]

Reminds me a little bit of Anquan Boldin.

Mingo reminds me a lot of AJ brown, and low and behold in his interview he said that was his favorite player to watch.

What does our WR depth chart look like now?  No idea how to rank them. I genuinely have no idea who  our #1 #2 or #3 is just looking at the names

I'd say

1. Thielen, 2. Chark, 3. Mingo/Marshall, 4. Mingo/Marshall, 5. Shenault

Mingo and Marshall likely fight it out for that 3rd spot in camp.
