Anybody play Center?

I know this is not the point of this thread, but my favorite draft prospect is that center from Iowa. Big time position of need for us as well. I’d argue more than tackle. 

LT has been a need for more than a decade now. Also the most difficult position to find on offense.

If we had not squandered Day 2 picks this past draft and this upcoming draft, this would have been solved. It is not unsual to be able to find a good starting center in the 2nd round. 

That said, I wouldn't be upset to get Linderbaum, although we will(rightfully) get skewered on positional value.

That's too bad.  I thought he looked better tha Paradis.  At least he didn't seem to get  pushed back into the QB as much.

looking better than paradis is like making a triple bogie instead of a quad....they both are really bad

All you Chicken Little’s screaming that the sky is falling, chill.  Surely you remember that our big money FA OL signings were brought aboard for their position flexibility.  Problem solved.  /s

[Wouldn’t it be ironic if Deonte Brown sees his first regular season start against the Saints… at center?]

    • Exactly this as well.  Beyond age concerns--by the time they find out if they have something in Penix, they'll need to work on a new contract not long after.  The newer league winning QBs have gotten extensions by year 3 (ie. Burrow).  So, if Penix somehow lights it up year 3, he could turn around fairly quickly, probably by year 4, and ask for an extension.  ATL has really no buffer time in easing the bucks off the QB room to build a team around him.  Not to mention, they'll be needing to make decisions on Terrell, London, Pitts, Bijan, a lot of high end investments BEFORE seeing Penix through, and that's IF he works out.   Lindstrom's contract is backloaded too and they can't cut Matthews until after 2026.   Just a terrible use of resources as it relates to timing & salary allocation, no matter how you look at it.   You're in win now, so get a talent to win now.  
    • it's  already going to be painful enough watching Caleb Williams throw TD passes to DJ Moore on a regular basis week in & week out   & naturally not sit there & reflect back & say to yourself woulda shoulda coulda especially if Bryce Young never looks remotely similar to a #1 pick   
    • Agreed.  I would expect most realistic fans to tamper their expectations.  There is a scenario where we simply over drafted him at 1, but he still has a solid career and can become a franchise QB.  That is what I am curious to find out.  Does he have what it takes to become the guy.  If he can somehow do any of the stuff you stated in year two then fantastic, but that's not where my head is at judging by his rookie play and the state of the franchise.
