Linderbaum, an interior linemen is not worth drafting at 6. What a joke. 

[ForJimmy]

We would need a QB.  You know the most important position in all sports....

This idiotic team won't have a  pick to take him with. They want their QB this year.so bad they'll trade the tram away.

Tepper  is nothing if not irrational. and rhule  is desperate. And they are both ignorant.

The number of people who want to draft a tiny center at #6 overall is amazing to me. He should be nowhere near Carolina's board unless there's a trade back of 10+ picks.

I’m hearing Armstead has a pending offer from the Dolphins. We may not have a shot after all.

Let's compare combine numbers....

Tyler Linderbaum Combine Numbers

• 6'2"
• 296 pounds
• 31 1/8 arms
• 10" hands

Ryan Kalil Combine Numbers

• 6'2"
• 299 pounds
• 31 1/2 arms
• 10" hands

Let's leave it to Matt Rhule to get too caught up in those numbers. If Linderbaum can be the next Ryan Kalil for us for the next decade, I have no problem with him at #6. I would also be fine with one of the top LT's at #6, and picking up (Browns former Center) JC Tretter if possible.

I agree 100% if you don't get Watson. You get this line set and figure out the QB next year.

Why would you spend $8m a year on a player who might become a good center when a proven good center just hit the market because he was a cap casualty because he was due around $8m?

Another way to look at it:

Pay Armstead $20m to play LT and draft Linderbaum to play center at $8m

or

Pay a FA like Tretter around $8-10 a year, or less, to play Center and draft a LT such as Cross to play LT at $8m a year.

You basically just saved $10 to $12 million that you can spend on another free agent.

What if Darnold is actually a top 5 QB but just pretended to suck all these years just to get Tyler Linderbaum?

I don't want us taking linderbaum at 6 but would be fine with litte trade back then pick,  but stuff like this is irrelevant.  Tom brady had a terrible combine and ran a 40 measured on a Mayan calendar, Sam darnolds combine was supposed to be good enough to make him the #1 pick so picking and choosing comparisons for the sake of argument is just a poor argument.

Jfc one was a second round pick, not #6

That's cute, but Ryan Kalil wouldn't be worth the 6th overall pick either, even if there was a guarantee he'd be that good.
