AFJF Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Don't hesitate to take Alec Lindstrom out of BC later in the draft. Not getting enough love IMO. In fact, watching that BC OL with Lindstrom, Zion and Vrabel is fun. Petrula could be an UDFA type as well. Those guys give that trash QB all day to throw and push guys around in the run game. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 Watching BC vs NC State right now. Run play here where Zion pulls and pops the backside LBer and Lindstrom puts the DE on his face while absorbing hit from the DT. Nice run for Garwo who looks great running behind this line TBH. Lindstrom and Zion block with run from Garwo.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 And of course I picked this game for an even longer look at Ekwonu (79) who should be the pick at 4 if the edge guys are off the board. Pulls and spins defender around before catching up with him to block him again. Ekwonu pulls and blocks same guy twice.mp4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bla bla bla Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Lindstrom is definitely who I'd be looking at in round 3. Love linderbaum but top 10 may not be the right spot for us to take a Center. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love linderbaum but top 10 may not be the right spot for us to take a Center. Exactly my thinking. Linderbaum that early feels like a luxury pick when you have a defense that gave up 500 points last season. Need edge, OT or CB with those top two picks. Of course that all changes if you trade down from 10 to the 17-20 range and add an early second rounder. Then Linderbaum with the mid 1st and the additional second on edge/CB/OT is fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've taken him in almost every mock I've done. But it varies where he's available. In some places he's still on the board in the 4th or 5th. The only concern for me is his size. He's about 10-20 lbs lighter than you want. The tradeoff though is that he's built for the zone blocking scheme and has good movement. I just worry about him having to play 3 hours of football at 285-290 lbs. against some DLs in this league sporting 340 lb Nose Tackles.

section314 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 The best C went back to school, Jarrett Patterson from ND. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usapaw Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 The problem with both is they don't project to play any other position on the line competently, and are not ideal size. We are contractually obligated to our center and he is playing fairly well. We are better off looking at a an OT or a guard. If we had to at 22-38 I would take Linderbaum.
