Barkevious Mingo was an average pick in a bad 2013 draft

The Seattle Seahawks signed Barkevious Mingo to a two-year deal in March, and I think he’s a sleeper choice for being one of the most valuable players on the roster next season. Not that he’ll be one of the best players on the Seahawks, but at a base salary of $1 million in 2018 and $3 million in 2019, he has the potential to be an absolute bargain as a starting strongside linebacker and an edge rusher on passing downs.

Seattle desperately lacked both of those things last season and while Mingo has already been labeled as a draft bust, he certainly wasn’t useless last year on the Indianapolis Colts.
