Not a bad choice
still like English…….he just seems like he’s more hungry and mean.

English is a beast
plays like Deebo (Harrison) stays low, drives hard and has explosion to the ball carrier, also plays with every ounce of his weight. I’m not sure where he would fit though, not quite big enough for end in our 3-4 and he never had to cover in college so not sure if he can play LB. But players like him have a way of overcoming obstacles like that, and he is a player!

They are all beasts...
but it’s now gonna be Everette Brown my friends and then…
Brown then Brace then Britt...New Killer B's a hit
They're all talented but
Larry English is definitely more impressive than the others. I was all for Cushing or Matthews Jr but after watching English I’m a believer. Take English in the first and Appleby in the later rounds - future linebacker squad: English/Crowder/Appleby/Wake- that would be amazing!!!
I like Sintim the best-
he shows the best intelligence of the bunch when it comes to play recognition. Wake is there to take over for Porter- Sintim could instantly replace Roth.

I like how he held his ground at the :13 mark instead of overpersuing that RB

That is exactly what I saw-
he sniffed it out and went around to get it instead of chasing it down from the back.

I like Sintim and English
But I would have to take Sintim if we are looking for a true olb he played the 3-4 four years and he is the best pass rushing olb in the draft comming off an 11 sack season 9 sacks prior,I like English but he plays the 4-3 so I take it he played end mostly and would have to trasition to olb could be great with time but I just think Sintim will make a impact right from the start Let English go to Indy who run a 4-3 and he will be good as well.
Ahhhh Ta Ta Ta Ta Bye Bye Foy518
I liked Cushing.
He didn’t have a lot of sacks, but that’s because the QBs were releasing much too quick in the face of his pressure, so he was getting the job done. He was very quick in adjusting to a run play, and his speed was impressive. I think he has the most upside.
Matty-
why no Clay Matthews Jr.? I keep hearing that he is the one we are most likely to take because he has the size and and football pedigree which Parcells seems to like.

Nice!
English is my second language, but this kid will put English on me(: O) and make it a first language. Good way to learn English ; )
I will see the Dolphins win a SUPER BOWL before i die(22 years and counting)
Let's get Sintim!!!
I’m a little partial because I’m a big UVA fan, but I think he fits the build and he knows how to find the ball. Larry English definitely has some rushing skills, but in 3-4 you are not always going to be rushing. Cushing looks good, if we get him I hope the transition is smooth for him. I saw a lot of arm tackles by Cushing and he was dragging his feet when tackling. Maroney, Lynch, and Jones would all run through those tackles.
25th pick - LB Clint Sintim
44th pick - CB Sean Smith
56th pick - QB Pat White
