I would have selected Sintim if it were me. I really liked him and think he could be a great LB in the 3-4... OLB or ILB.

Well, here is the thing about the white/WC thing, "us" fans have burned soo many times with concept draft picks, Allen Wright, Evans, players who were taken simply because they had upside that the white pick is risky to say the least.
Ah, but if it pans out, we will be way ahead of the curve and actually have some offensive firepower for a change, to me, White is worth the pick. -

I wanted Barwin at the time, but in retrospect, I'm happy with the White pick.

The White Pick has grown on me, although If I could redo the draft I'd take Sintim.

I guess I was one of the few who was thrilled we took Pat White with the pick. So I would draft Pat White instead of Pat White.

White scores or passes for 10 Td's or more this season and who could complain? -
If White can make the WC muti-dimensional, then the pick is fine ... the FO went with Wake and followed it up with Taylor to fill the OLB requirement -- so they didn't ignore it.
given our remaining ????, not sure there was anyone to fill those voids at that position. NT, G, ILB .... that we would have valued that high.
I really liked Barwin though ... could you imagine Wake (should be perform) and Barwin as our OLBs for the next 5-7 years ... -
I like the White pick.
I don't think we are that thin at LB, and with the proliferation of the spread offense, the role of the LB is slightly diminished aside from pass rushing. -
i wouldn't have minded grabbing unger here due to the need for a quality back up on the line being needed. we have aquestion marks on the o-line..can grove compete for a full yr? can smiley give us a full yr?can thomas give us more than one game? the lack of quality depth there showed greater last season than at lb and may still be the case this yr. unger has the ability to play gaurd or center well and even some tackle if needed.
the reason we went to the wildcat was the lack of ability to run the ball. enough depth would make running the cat a non factor thus neggating the need to pick up white at that point in the draft.Last edited: Jul 14, 2009bakedmatt likes this. -
Considering where we are with Thomas and the OL/Guard concerns, I had to vote Unger. But at the time I wanted Sintim due to my perception of our lack of talent @ ILB. However after all the discussion of where most of us feel Pat White will take the WC, I am pretty satisfied with White.

I'm not sure Max Unger was high on their board, especially since he may not be much different than Samson Satele.
I'm not complaining about the White pick but I think something that may change the opinion of some is the addition of Cameron Wake. If he's not on the roster, would you still want Pat White or would you take Clint Sintim? I personally thought Sintim was the ideal strong side linebacker and I really thought he could shift down and provide a pass rush in a three point stance. However, if we have another linebacker on the roster then Pat White is fine.Swampfox likes this. -
Funny thing is, aside from Sintim, the other players really aren't that tempting, Barwin is a "maybe", McBath, Unger, Mitchell were not really what we needed.alen1 likes this. -
I picked Sintim. I would like to improve the inside linebacking corp. I think both Channing and Akin are ok. This would be an instance where Miami could of got one who is better than ok.
I would consider Conner, however he seemed to be too much of an experiment.
I would be upset with Mitchell, however watching his youtube clip where all he does is lay down the lumber, I would feel much better. -
Personally, I always thought Sintim was overrated as a LB. I don't seem being able to drop into coverage well enough or be able to turn and run with a man.
-
I'd guess that means Wake and JT are going to be role players this season as would any rookie OLB we may have drafted, that would mean White was a no brainer from their point of view, I'd bet they sort of looked at Sean Smith the same way, a concept player with a ton of upside who did not cost the farm and wasn't really a "need". -

I voted for Max Unger because of our lack of depth and because of his versatility. He could be our starter at the RG position, or be the first lineman to step in when one lineman goes down.
Clint Sintim would have been my second choice. -
For me I'd have taken Barwin....

Barwin, or trade down a few spots and take Paul Kruger. I think he'll have a very good career at an almost Pro-Bowl level.
