INMAN: NFC NORTH WORST CASE DRAFT SCENARIOS
SENIOR BOWL CENTRAL (PODCASTS, VIDEOS, ARTICLES)
A definite Minnesota Vikings target, Chris Lindstrom brings athleticism and a potential zone scheme fit to the table as a mobile interior lineman. Spent his Boston College career primarily at right guard but has experience at right tackle. His father, uncle and brother all played (or currently play) at Boston College, and Lindstrom is the latest success story, earning third-team All-American status as a senior. Ran the second-fastest 40 amongst linemen at the combine, and also finished top five in the broad jump.

What the analysts say
“Lindstrom is one of the most athletic interior lineman in the 2019 draft with a rare ability to match movement quickness with anyone across from him. His quickness can place him in position to make blocks on both the first and second levels and he has an impressive ability to cover lateral space and protect his gaps as a pass blocker. Lindstrom is scrappy at the point of attack but lacks the length, mass and strength some teams will want.” – Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
“Lindstrom has played both guard and tackle across his four years as a starter for Boston College but he projects best inside at offensive guard in the NFL. Lindstrom is a consistent performer across the board and there are very few concerns when it comes to projecting him to a starting role in the NFL. His commitment to playing with great technique, football IQ, mobility and play strength should make him a quality starter for years to come.” – Joe Marino, The Draft Network
What PFF says
-T2nd in pass blocking efficiency
-0 sacks allowed as senior
-6th in snaps per inside pressure allowed
