Update from McShay on a few guys we have discussed in length. Delmas and Sintim are the 1st and 2nd guys he mentions as risers on the board.

2. Clint Sintim, OLB, Virginia
Sintim is thriving as a rush linebacker in Virginia's 3-4 defense and he's expected to play a similar role in the NFL. Like the rest of the team, Sintim started the season slowly and had just one tackle for loss and zero sacks in the first three games. In the seven contests since then, he's been an absolute terror with 14 tackles for loss and including nine sacks. Sintim should come off the board by the end of Day 1.
VendigosubscriberBy the end of Day 1? Just what is this guy smoking? And can I have some?
We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only reason for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely. All art is quite useless.
VendigosubscriberNever mind. This piece is from November.

Really? Thanks Todd. I had no idea he was this good. Day 1 you say, hmmmm interesting.
November or not I am still shaking my head. He acts as though Sintim played like crap at the beginning of the year. The defensive line was entirely new, had a freshman on it IIRC and was otherwise inhabited by non playing sophomores. What did he expect; 5-6 sacks in the first few games. If one watched the early Virginia games you'd see that most times runners were untouched until 4 yards past the LOS. Sintim is not Superman, he can't play outside and then jump inside to make a play 10 yards away from him. Anyone and everyone was doing wind sprints against the Virginia defense early in the season. When the D-line started to get it together Sintim played better.
The offense getting better didn't hurt either.

No they're not. Bellichick still roams the Earth.
He's the last of the noclassasaurus family. Which is related to the icheattowinasaurus.
