Is Linderbaum a little light to dominate at the next level?

290 is what I have been seeing on several sites

He can gain  clean LBs no problem.....most college players need to add mass coming to the pros. I think Ryan Kalil was 275 and he had to add 30 LBs within a couple months. If you see his combine/pro day pics, his face is all bloated to hell. The smart one start day one after final game, I bet he comes in 300+ for combine(if they have it).

Kalil was 295 if I remember correctly.

Linderbaum would be great to get out in front and block on screens and such, just not sure his game is for every offense.  This might make him drop into mid teens

He may have been listed at 295, but i think he was 275 during the season. he spoke about it to Jordan Gross on the podcast. I want Tyler, but NOT at 6th overall. Hes no Quenton Nelson. 

Tyler would be a trade down target I feel. Plus Elf wasnt played "awful" given the OG are....

edit- The only players with NFL ready bodies in college are form Alabama and Clemson. Thats all. They are ready, nearly everyone else needs to work on mass.

Sorry, but Brady is not a long term answer at LT. We need one and at 5/6, we get a 10 year plug and play starter. Don't overthink this

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The sad thing about this is that Brady C. And Deonte Brown have not seen the field enough to know if they are going to be starters. Wasted year almost in that regard.

    • Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers. 
    • Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production. 
    • I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
