And the Earth could end tomorrow. But it likely won't. And Tyler will hear his name called early on.
I don't put a lot of stock, anyway, in the opinion of a so-called "sports writer" who has two last names.
Tyler Linderbaum, C, Iowa
There aren't many offensive linemen whose resumes can match that of Linderbaum, a consensus All-American and
latest in a long line of Iowa standouts. His 6-2, 296-pound frame might be disqualifying for several teams, however, as he could be exploited by rangier interior defensive linemen. And the last undersized center whose movement skills paved his way into the first round – Minnesota Vikings center Garrett Bradbury – has largely struggled and is not expected to have his fifth-year option picked up, per reports. Given that center is already a bit of a luxury for Day 1, Linderbaum might not make the cut. The Cowboys (No. 24), Titans (No. 26) and Bengals (No. 31) likely represent his best opportunities to avoid a slide.
