Both Mingo and Jordan weigh less then 250 while both are over 6'4 in height. That is extremely "light in the ass" for lack of a better term.
If you want jordan for his versatility and to have him in coverage 30% of the time, and rushing as a 4-3 end on obvious passing downs, then ok, but overall, you simply cannot count on a player like mingo to be a 3-4 OLB as he would get absolutely steamrolled vs the run.
Ansah, at 6'6 270 has a build to play with his hand on the ground but also as a stand up OLB who can actually use his strength to hold off a blocker ands et the edge.
The issue with ansah isnt "is he a good fit for us"? The problem is with star and jones medical issues, and no top QB, will ansah even make it to 9.

I agree, Jordan is over 6-6 and less than 250 lbs, I would think even an average LT can get leverage on him and bully him around.
