IMO not really...one guy to keep an eye on when the BIG10 comes back is Tyler Linderbaum from Iowa.

He fits the scheme like a glove and loves to hit dudes. He's a dog. He's NOT consistent and a bit raw. He needs more snaps but there's flashes of real upside. He would be my pick for a early day 3 developmental center with pro-bowl upside. Richburg is gonna be the starter next yr regardless. Benton could really mode Tyler Linderbaum in a stud though.

Nice I'm down with this. Doesn't have to be 1st round as long as we add solid prospects for the o-line, but imo we definitely need to add new blood in there.

another center to keep an eye on with the BIG10 back is Josh Myers from OSU. He can move




basically just watch the whole OSU OL rest of the yr, Wyatt Davis is a stud too.

Linderbaum would be a great developmental prospect with a real high ceiling. He's not a big beefy IOL so that might scare some scouts...He looks pretty damn strong though, has a good anchor.

He's a top end wrestler and I believe he whooped Wirfs at some point (he's a big time wrestler too). Just give me the Iowa lineman lol.

Many scouts project him as Day 2 IOL. Comparison: Robert Hunt.

Does he have the frame to add a little weight? You say he's strong and tough but at some point he has to be able to block those big nose tackles.

I'm not sure how big he is now because they haven't played yet... they had him right around 290 last yr (he was a DL coming into Iowa) but with some NFL training I think he can get to around Alex Mack size at around 310. SF isn't gonna have a 330+ center. I think Garland is like 304 soaking wet. Richburg is 295

I think so too. We have some pretty good heavy hitters in terms of either blue chip talent or potential blue chip talent. One or two trade backs with that first and/or second should do it.

PERSONALLY, I would rather spend some money on a veteran center than use a 1st or a 2nd rounder. ..

There are 3 centers I like our there.. everyone talks about the kid from Alabama (Dickerson) and how he's really developing.. then the other kid from Oklahoma (looks weak to me) Humphrey...

the one I like the most, late 3rd or early 4th would be Morrissey out of Pitt... he's got that IT around him even when you hardly pay attention on Centers when a team play..

Possibly but he looked like crap against notre dame. Well that whole Pitt team did
