Arm length can be an advantage or disadvantage to nfl ol and dl regardless of whether you have arms or not.

How much is the question, not if.

There may be a better way to communicate that you don't agree with the T-Rex Arms sentiment?

If Lindenbaum drops to our pick in the 2nd would that work?




Todd M -> RE: 2022 NFL draft (3/29/2022 8:57:52 AM)

We just have to relax and let it come to us. There's guys right now that we think no way will be available to us that will be. 2 starters one maybe being a star added to the team with their 1st 2 picks and we have something good brewing

Part of the problem, is having PTSD from Bradbury …

Maybe thats not fair to Lindenbaum but why go at the same issue twice the same way when it failed miserably the first time? Its a vast oversimplification but … with so many needs, why mock and taunt the fool me once gods …

Bradbury was a reach and is very close to be considered a bust (depending on how this year pans out). Under that theory we wouldn't have drafted Jefferson (last WR we drafted in the first round was a fail) and we shouldn't draft CB then either. Hughes and Gladney could be considered bad reaches; with Gladney a double down.

Just don't reach for anyone and if Lindenbaum falls don't be afraid to draft him at value.

PTSD would be if Lindenbaum fell to us in the 2nd and we traded down....lol

I would be shocked in he's available at 46.

There are some that think there is a good chance that we trade back with the Steelers….get #20 & a 2nd rounder

Bradbury was not a reach, he was solidly in the first rd. I just checked four of the usual irrefutable draft prognosticators and they had him going to us at 19 or the Ravens at 22, with accolades like 'best C prospect in the last 5 years'. Gee, where have we heard that?

Also, Bradbury is a bust, there's no way around it. They might keep him because he's under contract, there's not a lot out there and we don't have any spare change to throw around ... but he is not going to hold up on passing downs without help. Time to move on.

Also Also, I never said don't draft the same position twice in a row [much less 4 years apart], I said don't draft the same player twice in a row to address the same problem that wasn't fixed the first time. (BTW, Bradbury was drafted to fix the 3rd rd Elflein issue so we are positionally beyond the 'fool me twice, shame on you Phil' schtick)

I said it was a gross oversimplification [as in there are other factors] but obviously not simple enough.




Tom Sykes -> RE: 2022 NFL draft (3/29/2022 12:21:21 PM)

If its any consolation, now that I've taken a stand against Linderbomb ...

It's almost certain to happen.

I've never really confessed this before but I was strongly against taking a WR in 2020 [first rd]. If I had been GM, I probably would have taken Gladney at 22.




Phil Riewer -> RE: 2022 NFL draft (3/29/2022 12:33:47 PM)

I was all for drafting Bradburry then; now I see that as a mistake.

I was all on board for drafting Jefferson....didn't know much about Hughes or Gladney.

This year I would be aboard one of the top 3 CB or DT Davis.

as i remember it; Bradbury was billed as a 'once in a generation' type of center...that's what makes his failure so disappointing - it seemed like an absolute can't miss pick....

i don't want to pick another center in the first two rounds unless he's a 6'-7", 370lb mauler that belongs in a maximum security prison...a dude that has already ended half a dozen college careers and forced hafþór björnsson to beg for mercy...i don't even care if he can run, he just needs an uncontrollable passion to crush everything in front of him....

nothing like that in the 2022 draft....




Murph -> RE: 2022 NFL draft (3/29/2022 1:41:10 PM)

Offensive linemen are so tough to evaluate.

2 first round picks I felt great about at the time; Matt Kalil and Garrett Bradbury. I thought both were almost can't miss. lol

Bingo. No more Bradbury clones from shit conferences.

Look for the draft synopsis phrases "Simply a mean SOB... takes everything personally... bigger than many defensive tackles..."

If anything even remotely says "system guy" or "zone blocker", burn it.




Steve Lentz -> RE: 2022 NFL draft (3/29/2022 1:46:02 PM)

Bradbury is a BUST. We definitely need a better Center. My belief is that our new GM and staff will address this.




Bill Johanesen -> RE: 2022 NFL draft (3/29/2022 2:02:35 PM)

Linderbaum certainly has some good aspects for college, seems speed and maneuverability are the main ones. Conversely, there is this:

Even while being an exceptional athlete, there may be some concerns about Linderbaum being undersized. He fits in just under 300 pounds, which isn’t exactly ideal when the person lining up across from you every snap outweighs you by 30-50 pounds.

The size issue plays into his other weakness that appeared on tape, which was a pure bull rush by large athletes. His technique was still good, but sometimes he was simply overwhelmed by raw size/strength combos. This won’t get any easier at the next level.


Have visualized that all too well with Badbury. So it happened to Linderbaum in college, and IMO these draft reviews are not forthright enough expressing just how much worse that projects in the pros. It's not situational dependent, or due to a lack of coaching. It's simply a monster DT running over these lightweights. Finesse and technique end up on the turf.

Then again, people are content stating and waiting 2+ years for the proverbial "give him time to bulk up", which may or may not even happen.

It's true not to compare a top prospect with a bust. If Bradbury had been an All-Pro who walked cause we couldn't afford him, I'd be clamoring for a clone.

Having read up on Lauberman, maybe all his positive traits outweigh his negative ones. But as has been stated by you and others, we will probably go CB.

McDaniel was undersized at guard, but he was a one in a million type of athlete. He was very strong and knew how to work the angles. You can't find many oline guys like that. And I don't think Linderbaum is that guy.




Tom Sykes -> RE: 2022 NFL draft (3/29/2022 7:40:44 PM)

*GZUZ the top 25 prospects are fat with Edge / WR, our strongest positions [on paper]

Edge [Hutchinson, Walker, Johnson II, Thibodeaux, Karlaftis, Mafe]
WR [Wilson, London, Olave, Williams, Burks, Dotson]

Why is it never fat at our weakest positions?
