BillsGuyInMalta Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I'll be honest, I've never heard of this guy (and I am a draft nerd) Hopefully the Bills are talking to Brannan Southerland and Gerald Cadogan. Getting both of those guys as UDFAs would completely negate that last confusing CB pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In space no one can hear Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 per CNNSI: BIOGRAPHY: Two-year starter who also saw limited action with the first team as a sophomore. Totals last season included 44/7.5/4 after 46/7/4.5 as a junior. POSITIVES: Hard-working, undersized defensive lineman with limited upside. Displays good first step quickness, works his hands throughout the action, and plays with good lean. Works hard until the whistle blows, and shows the ability to shoot the gaps upfield and make plays behind the line of scrimmage. NEGATIVES: Easily controlled at the point by a single blocker. Lacks bulk, and wears down over the course of the game. ANALYSIS: Lindquist is a slug-it-out defender with marginal size and athleticism. He offers potential as a one-gap lineman, yet he must significantly pick up his production this summer to have any chance of making a roster. PROJECTION: Free Agent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2020 Our Year For Sure Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 DT #94 David Lindquist Sr. 6-3 288 -Undersized DT prospect. -Average quickness at the DT spot. -Early Draft Grade: Undrafted Free Agent. Lindquist didn't really jump off the tape, he is more of a plugger type and doesn't have the size to fill that same role in the NFL. http://nfldhq.blogspot.com/2009/03/illinoi...-nfl-draft.html If somebody with ESPN Insider can tell us what they say here, that'd be great.

IlliniBills3 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I'm a student at Illinois. Lindquist was solid, nothing special. I think he started all year, but lost some time to younger DT's Josh Brent and Corey Liuget as the year went on. Hard worker and good kid. Won't make the team IMO.

Steely Dan Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 7 receptions for 52 yards and no TD's. Travis McCall (TE) Height: 6'2" Weight: 276 College: Alabama Conference: SEC Hometown: Prattville, AL High School: Prattville Overview Considering McCall typically lined up as Alabama's second tight end and a blocking specialist, some were caught off guard when he received an invitation to the Senior Bowl. With few traditional fullbacks and blocking specialists at tight end slated for the 2009 draft, however, the invitation made sense. A recipient of only 24 receptions despite playing in 51 career games, McCall's value lies in his ability to put defenders on their backs - a talent that could earn a late-round draft selection. High School Signed with the Tide in 2004, but fell thousandths of a point shy of qualifying. As a prep senior he played tight end and defense. He was a 6A All-State pick while helping Prattville to the quarterfinals of the state playoffs. He was also selected to the Birmingham News Super Senior list. He was rated the nation's ninth-best tight end by Rivals.com and the 19th-best overall in-state prospect by Superprep Magazine. Are they looking at him for a Fullback role?

Flbillsfan#1 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Sounds a bit like the writeups on Kyle Williams when he came out. "Limited upside" -That's a positive? Other than that sounds similar, but not quite as good as Kyle. Per Pro Football Weekly : Kyle Williams 9th Best DT (McCargo was 3rd best) Upside: Quick off the ball. Explosive & naturally STRONG. Very determined competitor who imposes his will. Plays to the whistle. Very TOUGH. Extremely strong in upper & lower body. Excellent motor. Plays above his ability. Hustles & chases & makes a lot of tackles in pursuit through sheer effort & determination. Is quick to find the ball. Vocal leader. Plays through pain. Outstanding work habits. Married. Downside: Lacks ideal size. Has short arms & could have a more difficult time disengaging from NFL blockers. Not a great athlete. Too straight-linish & does not look natural changing direction. Overly muscular & ridgid in his movement. Will rise out of his stance & play too tall. Can be late to locate & react to the ball when he is tied up. Plays out of control. Not a creative pass rusher. Gives up too much of his chest & does not show many moves to come free. Hand use could improve. The Way We See It: Does not have great measurables but plays much bigger than his size & warrants comparisons to Vickings 2000 1st rnd pick & current Buccaneers DT Chris Hovan. A rolling ball of butcher knives, (I love that line) he will slap & push around anything in his way to get in the backfield. A throwback, old school tough guy who needs to play in a penetrating, upfield attack where he is on the move. 2006 Draft projection 3rd rnd.
