I would still consider it for a 2ndOur second rounder most likely...A lot to give up for a center. Especially in this draft that is deep with talent(outside of center).

Paired with our 29, I wonder how much Parker would help in a trade like this.
Underrated fo surWill be hard to beat out my favorite center of all time (Ruddy) but this kid does look good for sure.
But it's always the wrong day to look at Walterfootball.com...how much do you think they pay angelfire to keep their site up?I just looked at Walterfootbal.com.
Linbaum is the #1 ranked C. The number two guy is projected for after round three.
Might be the wrong year to draft centers. Unless Lindbaum falls to 29
Agreed. This should be the main target of the draft. Getting a center of his caliber is vital.Nobody wants to ever respect the Center...but it is arguably the most important OL position. It requires a high football IQ and the player must excel at BOTH pass/run blocking. Their build has to be able to withstand the most MASSIVE DT's in the league.
The center touches the ball AS MUCH as the quarterback. Think about that. You look at the best QB's in the league and they've always had the same center with them for the majority of their careers.
This is a position that takes a RARE TALENT and it requires the player to be VOCAL...they're effectively the "leader" of the OL.
Tua needs his center. Why not one of the best prospects to come out in decades? We passed on Ruiz and then we passed on Humphrey....ENOUGH.....we NEED a HOF potential center for Mc D's offense to shine. We need Tyler Linderbaum.
He is projected to go to Pittsburgh by MANY at #20...and if they don't take him then surely the Cardinals, Raiders, Bills, Titans, or Packers will. We HAVE to be willing to trade up AT LEAST 10 spots for him. Do it. Trade with the Eagles for Pick #19. Whatever it takes. Even their #15 or #16 picks.
You remember what life was like with Pouncey? Remember how bad we were when he was injured? How about ever since he left the team? The center is critical. It's time we get ours.
Rookie post. Center is not worth #14. Too expensive. Pouncy was more trouble here than he was worth. Stevenson was the cats meow.Center is important but not at that expense.Nobody wants to ever respect the Center...but it is arguably the most important OL position.

The only interior lineman in the Grier era who was a better prospect than Creed Humphrey was Quenton Nelson. The fact that we didn't scoop Creed gives me agita. The guy was a stone wall for OU. I don't know much about Tyler, but if you think he's that good you need to get him.Required without a doubt.
While Ruiz went #24 and Humphrey went 2nd round last year...their drafts were much stronger than this years. Tyler is not only a better prospect than them but his draft class is unusually weak.
Starting to think that maybe #19 doesn't even lock him up...Philly has the 15th (our old pick), 16th, and 19th....whoever wants Linderbaum is probably going to have to deal with Philly and we might need to trade up higher to prevent another team from doing the same.
He's been projected as early as #14 to the Ravens but I don't see that happening since they need OT so bad.
Another pipe dream, nobody is giving anything for a former #1 pick that plays 4 games a year. Period. That's fools talk.Parker is definitely a great candidate. I'd do it in a heartbeat, although it would take more than Parker and our 29. We don't value Parker as a 2nd round pick do we?
