Ernie Sims is a fantastic pick for the Lions.  The only downside is the fact that he stands only 5’11″ and weighs in at only 220 pounds.  Sims flys to the ballcarrier and unloads with ferocity as he tries to drive right through the ballcarrier.  Coaches at Florida State had to tell him to settle down at practice because he was hurting his teammates.

In 38 games at Florida State (30 starts) Sims made 200 tackles, 21 tackles for loss, 7 sacks, broke up 11 passes and had two interceptions.  That is a ton of production for an OLB.  Sims should start from Day #1.
