lju713 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Mack is older, expensive,and regressing before our eyes. Lindstrom is athletic and has the size you want in a C(6'3 307). Smart and was well coached in college. This would allow us to take a RG/LG in the 2nd round (we have 2 picks). I like Kindsley (sp)UGA personally because I feel like we need a mauler. Hopefully we hire a GM/coach that's values the OL and will hire a real OL coach to develop the players.

Do you think a hire like Bieniemy would help that process begin? KC drafts and produce quality OL. They lose a few in FA and simply draft a replacement and keep ticking.

kenn.junior Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) why not just draft a center instead of experimenting when we know lindstrom is good at RG Edited November 6, 2019 by kenn.junior ATLSlobberKnockers, ShmevinShmarris, Flyin' In DC and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu 7 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Did you guys forget 2015? Thats when they put guards at Center. It worked for 4 games then teams figured out they couldn’t identify stunts and then it became a clinic. It worked so well that the #1 priority that offseason was a FA veteran true center SirCzah, Flying Falcon, Flyin' In DC and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanadonis Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Lets figure out how to play offense and defense and special teams first before worrying about who is at center. 49ers have shown they can place any of their players at different spots and win because of GREAT schemes that are hard to predict and are effective.

Cheap Talk Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Lindstrom needs to be placed in the position of highest priority, which would be Center. The Center position is a more valuable piece for an NFL team than the Guard position, in other words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new trend far as the OL is the LG,C,RG triangle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconJim Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) It may depend on how he does when we finally get a good chance to look at him at Guard! But really, I think they keep him at G (alongside his fellow 1st rounder), and go out and get a veteran C like we did with Mack --- then maybe think about putting him at C sometime in the future, IF, they think he could handle it!

AustFalcon Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 If he moves to C, we need to find a G. If we keep him at G, we need a C. I just feel like it is easier to draft a good C in round 2 than it is to draft a good G there. Vandy, SirCzah and Ergo Proxy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZfalcons Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Lindstrom is our right guard and we should look for a new center in the draft maybe late 2nd early 3rd AustFalcon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t the mike person to C experience teach anything? It’s one thing if Lindstrom can be cross-trained there. He is athletic enough for sure. I think a good C has more value than a good RG; as in there is a higher ceiling to reach and more overall OL impact with a good C. The thing is, we don’t really know what they plan to do with him. He is behind as it is I just want to see him get back on the field and worry about C in the offseason. I have a sneaky suspicion Gono could factor in to OL shuffling.

Our boy Wes May be the best of the remaining bunch. Let’s see if the kid can grow into Pro Bowl caliber guard. Draft a center the year Mack hangs it up.

PapaJoe Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Lindstrom is a better C prospect, in many aspects, than MOST college Centers entering the draft. ANY year. He was worked as C in preDraft workouts and performed very well. I believed then, and now, that the plan was for him to play G for a couple years and then move to C. Lindstrom, and where he plays is about the least of our worries; heck, he can even play LT in a pinch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
