SB Nation's latest mock draft has the Browns selecting LSU DE/OLB Barkevious Mingo with the sixth overall pick.

SB Nation's Mocking The Draft released their latest mock draft on Monday morning. In it, they have the Cleveland Browns selecting LSU DE/OLB Barkevious Mingo.

There are rumors that new coach Rob Chudzinski is switching to a 3-4 defense, Mingo would be a natural fit. Even if they stick with a 4-3, Mingo is the best available pass rusher left on the board in this particular mock:

Mingo is an athletic dynamo who was often used to contain the edge...he's agile and active enough to be a linebacker but he can play with his hand down as well. Of course he'll need to improve as a run defender, but adding a player that may need to be game planned around will benefit the defense as a whole.

This year's draft is a bumper crop for DE/OLB talent, and even if the Browns don't go with Mingo, they could have their pick of Bjoern Werner, Damontre Moore, Dion Jordan and Jarvis Jones.
