Anatomy of a prospect: Virginia OLB Clint Sintim

[SLATEmosphere]

I have not been real crazy about Sintim at 51. His upside may be limited, but he's solid now. What scares me is this. That is what they said about Carpenter.

However, the Cowboys could do a lot worse.

Bunting has Sintim rated as an OLB and ILB in a 34. Perhaps, he can perform both roles and give a team solid depth inside and outside. Sintim's workouts have not been good, but he put up double digit sacks last year in the ACC. If Sintim goes before 51, it will be because of his ability to play outside and inside, imo.

However, I don't want to draft a guy at 51 and have him turn into Bobby Carpenter.

I want a third pass rusher who can drop into coverage. Sintim is stiff and not very fast. Coverage isn't going to be is friend.

If Sintim could give Dallas the sacks/pressure as a third rusher and not cost $ 6.25 million dollars, even if he's is a liability in coverage, he would be a good addition.

His versatility would add depth to 2 positions.

OLB and Bradie James' spot

Sintim played in a 3-4 at Virginia just like Canty and he turned out pretty well. He's the best realistic OLB option that would make an immediate impact. I'm sure we would all love Orakpo or Everette Brown but that just isn't happening. Clint Sintim in the 2nd would be great value.

Carp is a bad comparison, Carpenter's problem is that he's soft, Sintim doesn't have any qualms about shedding OT's blocks

if we take Sintim at our top choice, he's going to contribue immediately, he gives us a solid pass-rush off the edge, and we could even trio him with Ware and Spencer in a 3-3-5 as one of our base packages, have him be a threat up the gut, can't really say that about any other position except SS and maybe WR

and let's not forget that Spencer is a huge question mark still, attitude-wise and health-wise

You can just tell Clint loves contact and doesn't shy away from it. He shed blocks either through swim moves or brute strength. He's better in the run game than you think. He's going to be a force in the 3-4 and would love to have him,Spencer and Ware rushing the passer at one time.

Plus he's number 51 and we pick at 51...
