Moore overrated? Sintim underated?

I have seen some of these Overrated players being taken by us on some mocks. This is someone's opinion and who really knows.
In BB we trust.

I think T.J. Lang is the kid to target, I'd love for BB to acquire an early third from someone to use on him...if not #58.

He has short arms. I thought I read somwhere that you want a OL with long arms.

from Dratcountdown
Height: 6-4 | Weight: 307 | 40-Time: 5.15
Strengths:
Adequate size and bulk...Tough, physical and aggressive...Quick with good mobility...Strong and powerful...Has a great initial punch...Has a fantastic motor and plays to the whistle...Pretty good balance...A hard worker...Can offer some positional versatility...Has lots of experience.

Weaknesses:
'Tweener?...Not a great athlete...Has short arms...Not very light on his feet...Stiff and isn't real agile...Doesn't use his hands well...Has some trouble sustaining blocks...Not a natural knee bender...Limited upside.

Notes:
A three-year starter...Began his college career as a defensive tackle, accumulating 11 tackles and 0.5 for a loss in 11 games...Moved to the offensive line in 2006 and took over the right tackle job...Played left tackle in 2007 and 2008...Named 2nd Team All-MAC as a senior...A classic overachiever who could also project to offensive guard at the next level..Extremely underrated pro prospect with starting potential

Not a big deal if he moves inside to G. I have been really high on McGee for some time, I think if he gets into the right situation he will be the best QB to come out of this draft. Also like Sintim.

At Texas vs The Nation he was measured at 6' 4 1/4" with 32 3/4" arms. Other Texas vs The Nation players who were listed in the PFW article had slightly arms - around 1" or more - from their weigh-in at the game than what Nawrocki listed in the article. If that were consistent, Lang's arms would 33 3/4" long giving him good reach for his height in case he was needed at Tackle.

Duke Robinson is not overrated. He will be an immediate impact player for someone.

Not for us I hope. He probably fits Dallas nicely as a road-grading OG, but I don't think he is a good fit for the Pats.

His arms are slightly longer than Eben Britton's, despite a 2" difference in height.

I think Lang would be a fine pick at 89 or 97. Box deserves credit for focusing on him first. Nice find.

Moore and Robinson are rated at the 50 to the end of the second. I don't think either is overrated. While I prefer the centers, Robinson could be the best pure guard in the draft. If a team were looking for future starter at guard, I think that he should be considered.

Sintim is underrated? Some mocks have him in the first, many in the first half of the second. I think someone had him at 17.

I guess that some have him underrated.

No, I agree not for us.

Though I wouldnt mind Herman Johnson.

 

[mgteich]

Cushing has to be the most overrated. Many have him in the mid-first.

I guess that some have him underrated.

Sintim gets downgraded fairly brutally for his lack of picks, as well as a small decline in productivity as a senior. Normally, a proven 3-4 backer who has amassed 19 sacks in his final two college seasons would be a sure fire 1st rounder. Hell, as sold on Sintim's pro prospects as I am, I'm not sure I wouldn't rather pass and take on Sidbury as a project instead and pray to the god of upside.

There are a lot of guys out there a lot more intriguing than Clint Sintim. None of them have been productive linebackers in college though and this is what makes Sintim underrated.
