proveagle Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I like Linderbaum and if they draft him in the first I am OK with it. That would mean Stout likes him that much to get a center in the first. However, I am also convinced at this point that Stout can build a dominate O-line out of bailing twine and straw so if they grab 1-2 guys later for C/G/T development that is OK too. Personally I hope they invest at least in a dominate physical G/T to upgrade RG and backup RT as long as Johnson sticks around. I think they can slide Seumalo into center. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Stout can build a dominant OL out of most things but let's not forget he's working with a lot of talent. I think his best trait is that he tends to get depth guys out there and playing competent football. I'm always impressed by how well prepared our back ups are.

I am fine either way and would prefer Oline investment to give Stout elite players to work with. My one caveat is on philosophy where I hope they learned there lesson with Dillard. I don't want to see anymore soft (read not physically dominate maulers) being drafted. I don't care how athletic they show they are. They need to be mentally and physically tough first. I would be perfectly happy in they took Linderbaum in the first and then added someone like Ingram for RG later. I love Oline and want to see the Eagles field one so dominate that they are rushing 200 a game every game and just can't be stopped. Yes please. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

time2rock Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Really hoping to use our first 2 picks on defense (in particular DE and CB, depending on who is there). If Linderbaum falls to the pick from Indy (which will likely be in the 25-28 area now), I'd be fine with that. I think he would be a perfect heir to Kelce - the entire left side of the OL would be set for years to come (knock on wood). But as others have said, you can probably give Stoutland another day 2 or 3 pick and he'd turn him into a stud, so perhaps a pick on someone like Lloyd at LB would make a ton of sense too.

I don't see that. I think we can be lucky if we get him with our best first, considering both the Eagles and the Colts will prolly make the playoffs and these picks will be way too low.

Linderbaum is being projected as a top 10 pick. I don't think he makes it pass 15 imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proveagle Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 In some of my mocks yesterday (since all 3 picks are lower now) I have ended up taking Ojabo/Linderbaum/Green. Yes I took a new C and RG. It ended up as a great draft and I would be stoked to see this line next year (assuming Kelce retires): Mailata<->Dickerson<->Linderbaum<->Green<->Johnson. I found plenty of good talent at Corner/safety/LB/WR still available later. Maybe I am weird but watching elite, dominate Oline play is awesome. I like run heavy offense when its not 3 yards and a cloud of dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting4Someday Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Ouch… the opportunities to land top tier DE talent as advertised have gone from slim to none. However, the roster is riddled with enough holes that you can still roll through without reaching much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCreary might have been there (and I think that would be good value in the 1st), but philosophically if they going to play with a lot of safety help I’m not sure if we need to invest in the same way at CB. Guys like Rasul Douglas didn’t suddenly watch film and get good, they are put in a scheme that allowed them to be aggressive w/o getting toasted over the top. So, I’m looking for good zone CBs who don’t have to be thoroughbreds (but it helps). Martin in the second, Gordon in the 3rd, Lucas on Day 3. There’s also a massive try-out going on now - with the team carrying like 7 Corners so that is also a factor, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any tryouts going on. I believe only Slay, Maddox, and Gowen are signed through next season. The rest of the guys will be FA.

QBhunter58 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Finally sat down to watch some film. I really like this guy, I see why he is so highly touted. The way he moves in space, the angles he takes when blocking down field, reminds me a lot of kelce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Linderbaum is so good. It would seem impossible to pass him up. You can never have enough good players in the trenches and Kelce will be gone soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brkmsn Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 What if Kelce wants to play this season and again for another season after that? Who does Linderbaum replace for the time being? As much as I like the prospect, I'm not sure he really addresses a "need." We already drafted Dickerson with the mindset that he would eventually replace Kelce. We have Seulmalo who can play C/G. We gave Herbig plenty of work at C last season. The coaches still seem to really like Jack Anderson and for some reason began testing Toth at C as well. What I'm saying is that the Eagles are already prepared at C If Kelce retires in the future. Drafting Linderbaum if Kelce returns probably forces Linderbaum to sit until Kelce actually retires.
