***2nd and 3rd Round Draft thread***

Sean Lee | Penn St. Nittany Lions
Official Bio

Stars
Strengths:
Good athlete --- Outstanding instincts and awareness --- Active with a non-stop motor --- Excellent Range --- Does a terrific job in pursuit --- A very reliable tackler --- Experienced --- Good strength --- Uses hands well --- Understands angles and leverage --- Smart with a top football IQ --- Super Competitive --- Versatile --- Hard Worker --- Team Leader.

Weaknesses:
Does not have the ideal size that you look for --- Is not very explosive and lacks a burst --- Tight hips and is not real fluid in coverage --- Isn't stout at the point of attack --- Struggles to take on and disengage from blockers --- Not much of a pass rusher or blitzer --- Durability Concerns.

Notes:
Was a three-year starter for the Nittany Lions --- Named 2nd Team All-Big Ten in 2007 and 2009 --- Served as a team captain --- Brother, Conor, was a kicker at Pittsburgh (2005-08) --- Missed the entire 2008 season after tearing the ACL in his right knee --- Missed a few games in 2009 with a sprained left knee --- Also excelled in the classroom and was active in the community while in Happy Valley --- The next product of "Linebacker U", following in the footsteps of guys like Jack Ham, Shane Conlan, Andre Collins, LaVar Arrington, Paul Posluszny and Dan Connor just to name a few --- Could project to either inside or outside linebacker at the next level --- Not the most physically gifted prospect but makes up for those deficiencies with top-notch intangibles --- A fantastic football player who will likely be an NFL starter for a long time.
 
Not in love with the pick, don't know anything about this guy...hate giving up one of our 4s tomove up a few spots...geez.
 
S Lee may have been as high as a mid-to late 1st rounder pre-injury

WHY SEAN LEE? Makes no sense.

Leaguewide brain freeze!
Major need area area forward. We're really old in the middle and this guy could be the answer beginning in mid 2010 or 2011.

Still, saftey and Oline seem pretty crucial.
 
I am surprised about not taking burnett however not shocked at all that we did not take a OT as they have all but said they would not take one because they think Free is better then what they could get here.
 
Brooking's not going to be here forever, so I can understand why they made this pick. Still need OL and FS. Remember, there's still going to be more vet cuts and we might go after Otogwe at FS.
 
Many people think Sean Lee is better than the last 2 Penn State OLBs to go in the 1st round. Connor and Poluszny.
 
It's not bad but we still have too many needs and not enough picks to answer them. Now we have a 4th rounder and that's it? Forget about finding a quality tackle or safety in the 5th round.
