Virginia LB Clint Sintim

ChiefsFan90s with the pick...

The New York Giants top two needs entering the 2009 NFL Draft are wide receiver, and linebackers. In the first round; they selected Maryland WR Darrius Heyward-Bey. That will do for now, at that position. So that makes outside linebacker as the Giants’ biggest need now. There are no shortages of outside linebackers that could at this point in the draft, but only one of them are ideal for the blitzing, 4-3 defense that the New York Giants employee. So with there second pick in the 2009 NFL Draft; the New York Giants select Virginia LB Clint Sintim.

Sintim was a 3-4 linebacker in Al Groh’s defense, but the linebackers available right now are all 3-4 linebackers. He is the one that would have the best transition into the 4-3. He is a complete linebacker. Clint has the ability to blitz the quarterback; which has given the New York Giants a lot of success the last couple of years. During his college career; he had 26 sacks.

With the addition of Clint Sintim, the New York Giants have taken care of their top two at WR, with Maryland’s Darrius Heyward-Bey, and LB, with Virginia’s Clint Sintim.

Round 1 is here.
