<![CDATA[Clint Sintim]]>Hasn't been talked about much here, but he actually played in a 34 in college.

Strengths:

Excellent size...Long arms...Good athlete...Fantastic pass rusher and blitzer...Good strength...Tough...Physical...A powerful tackler...Looks comfortable in coverage...Does a nice job of taking on and shedding blockers...Decent range...Aggressive with a non-stop motor...Makes plays in pursuit...Solid instincts...Is intense and competitive...Offers some versatility...Productive...Has a lot of experience...A team leader.

Weaknesses:

Relatively average timed speed...Limited reps in coverage...Hips aren't real fluid...Tends to play too tall...Will struggle to turn and run in man...Does not use his hands well...Didn't make many plays on the boundaries...Possible conditioning issues...Minor durability concerns.

Notes:

Was a four-year starter in the ACC...Named 2nd Team All-ACC in 2008...Led the entire country in linebacker sacks as a senior...Played through a serious shoulder injury in 2006 that eventually required surgery...Started his final 49 games with the Cavs...Could project outside or inside...Best fit at the next level will likely come on the strongside in a 4-3 scheme or outside in a 3-4...Big, versatile 'backer who makes a ton of impact plays...Excellent pro prospect who could end up being a stud in the NFL like Ahmad Brooks was supposed to be.

I really like him if he is there in the second. I'm torn between him, Matthews, and English, although I think that would proably be the order I picked them.

However, he showed a nice array of pass rush moves in the pit & had some success covering TE's in 11 on 11's.

He's ready to start immediately, but he may not have the upside of a Larry English/Clay Matthews/Cody Brown.

with other guys rising, it's looking like sintim could make his way to us in the second, where he'd be a decent pick. the only question i have is his upside, but that's only because i haven't seen him play all that much. his senior bowl practices were unimpressive, though. english, matthews and maualuga all looked far better than sintim did in one on ones.
