Clint Sintim

[Joemailman]

Sporting News has the Packers taking Sintim http://www.footballsfuture.com/2009/...nt_sintim.html in the 2nd round of their mock draft (Raji in the 1st). I don't get to see too much college football, but this guy sounds interesting, especially because he is one of the few college linebackers that project as a 3-4 linebacker in the NFL. Anyone seen Sintim play?

[red]

no, i've never seen him play, but i've been preaching about him for a few weeks now.

he played olb in the 3-4 system in college for the last 4 years. and excelled at it

imo, he would be a perfect 2nd round draft pick for us

there would be no adjustment time for him like there would be for a maybin or brown or english. he already knows what to do and have to do it

[texaspackerbacker]

It wouldn't be too bad for the Packers to take Raji in the first--although he wouldn't be at the top of my choices. As for Sintim--or any 3-4 OLB, we just don't need it. We have five good players for two spots already.

SERIOUSLY, what are you talking about.

I don't post much, but tex, man, what are you smoking? We just don't need OLBs! We have no idea whether any of the players the packers have now can play in this system. Sure, we can read about Joe Schmoe's analysis stating Kampman will be awesome in the 3-4, but we won't know till that happens. I'm all for stacking this team with whatever talent they can get at any position. If this Sintim kid has played a 3-4 and is good at it...why not grab him. Best Player Available is TTs motto, reguardless of position and need.

Another person comes on here with nothing but negativity for anything the Packers already have, and a willingness to sign on to any weird idea that comes along.

I'd rather take my chances with Kampman, Hunter, Thompson, Chillar, Popinga, maybe Bishop, instead of some college kid who may or may not be any good.

If he is worth a pick in the 2nd rd, why not? In a 3-4 we're going to need more depth at LB if nothing else.

At the same time though Tex, you've got to take somebody with your second round pick. You can't fall in love with the roster so much that you can't see how some new blood might be better than somebody we already have.

OLB isn't a glaring need, but if a guy who's good at it is BPA, take him.

How is this negative, I'm just saying we don't know. Let's stack the deck in case the guys we have don't work. I have no idea where you got that I'm being negative about the players that the Packers already have.

So, who or what position do you think the Packers should look at in the 2nd round.

[red]

didn't you know?

we have hall of famers starting and backing up at every position

we don't need to draft anybody

we're perfect

that's why we went 6-10 last year

It's so negative to think otherwise!!

Now who wants a hug?

Tex, I gotta say, even when I agree with ya it's hard to agree with ya. My first reaction to this post is similar to your first reaction - I think you and I have both been saying that we're not sure why everyone's in a rush to add more linebackers to a team that has increased the number of starting linebackers by one, which might mean two more on the roster, yet has added three new linebackers in the past three weeks (Thompson, Kampman, and Hunter). So I'm with you - I don't understand this sudden linebacker chant.

I'm all about best player available, but in terms of need I'd like to see TT load up on defensive and offensive linemen.

However, you gotta admit that drafting any college kid at any position means by definition you're taking a chance on the kid as opposed to the vets you already have, regardless of position.

You're the most negative optimist I ever knew, Tex, you crabby ol' coot!

It's very simple Fritz. We don't know if any of the LB's the Packers have can function in the 3-4. By adding someone who has excelled in it, you increase your odds of finding players who can. Its not like the players outside of Hawk and Barnett have contracts that would be impossible to cut. Its just like TT's draft philosophy. The more picks you have the better chance you have to hit onh some. Th emore LB's you, have the better chance you have of getting good 3-4 players.

Kampman I think will be fine...
Thompson? Question mark
Chillar? Worthless
Poop? More than worthless
Bishop I love, but he's not an OLB.

We need to draft like 3 OLB's in this draft.
