thier seem to be alot of people who don't think Sims is all that good, i'd like to hear your arguements as to why. i have to admit, sims really impressed me last night, just like he has a couple of times before, i was quick to think he was over rated but i don't see it that way any more, he has the physique,he hits like a sledge hammer, he's fast, and always seems to be on top of every play. he also seems quite angry, and would appear to be of old school raider stock.

He is all over the field and will be a better NFL player then AJ HAwk. Sims is a freak, he will post the fastest time for a LB EVER at the combine.

Add my to the Sims fan club. I live in ACC country and have seen a LOT of Sims. He's a beast. Only problem is his skills don't particularily match what we need. If we're going to play Morrison on the weak side where does Sims play? IMHO what we need is somebody with some size, who has good coverage skills, that can play either in the middle or the strong side if Sam Williams doesn't cut it. With all new staff coming in, its impossible to know what they'll be looking for. We could be playing any type of scheme, including a 34 with Morrison inside and Sims would be a great weakside addition. Either way, Sims is definately a top prospect, probably the best WILL in this draft.

Did Sims make Poz look like he was stuck in slow motion or what??

Is Sims Even Coming Out This Year?

I dont think he declared yet, but he might. Ive heard talks of him being turned into a SS like Boulware was. He should stay the extra year gain some weight and be a for sure first rd pick.

i think the dude is capable of playing linebacker defense end or strong safety, the guy just really seems like a stud

AudieMurphy1 · #7 (**permalink**) 01-05-2006, 04:33 AM

so if he declares this year, where do you guys think he'll get drafted?

Another Sims fan here... I really rate him. Would make an awesome Raider and will be a very good NFL LB if he puts his mind to it.

I haven't really seen him play but the game I did see he never stopped running and I think he racked up 20+ tackles.

According to the draft sites, Sims is leaning toward coming out. I've seen projections from late first to early second round. He might be there in round 2 for us if we go that way......

I've said it in an earlier post, we need players like Sims. Sims will be wrecking ball on defense wherever he plays. He will intimidate, he will excell. I'd take him over AJ, Chad, Ryans, D'qwell, etc. He is the best LB in this draft and most likely the best SS.
