Draft bios: A balanced look at the Falcons’ 2019 draft class

Height: 6-feet-4 Weight: 310 pounds Arm Length: 34-1/8 inches Hand size: 9-1/2 inches 40-yard dash: 5.86 seconds Bench press: 25 reps of 225 pounds Vertical jump: 30.5 inches Broad jump: 9 feet, 7 inches Three-cone drill: 7.61 seconds Overview: He was an all-ACC selection last season. He played mostly at right guard mostly, but also played some at right tackle. The Eagles ran some outside zone and gap blocking schemes. He was the second-rated guard in the draft by NFL Draft Bible and BobMcGinnFootball.com behind Oklahoma's Cody Ford. "He's never going to be a dynamic, flashy player," the AFC executive said of Lindstrom. "He's very solid. He's going to be a good NFL player. He's not dynamic. He's probably not going to be a Pro Bowl-level player, but he's always going to be a solid NFL starter. He's good at everything and not great at anything. He's just a solid guard." Is he Quenton Nelson? "No, no, no," the executive scout said. "Slow your horses now. He's a solid NFL starter. He's not as explosive or as powerful as Quenton is." He posted 29 on the Wonderlic. Some describe Lindstrom as a project. "I think he can compete and start if not Year 2 then definitely by Year 3," another scout told BobMcGinnFootball.com. "His biggest issue will be the power and the anchor. That's why he's not playing for you right away. He's got to develop from that standpoint." His father, Chris, played DE for four teams from 1983-'87. "He tries hard, he really tries hard," a third scout said. "But he plays high and he's a catcher. He gets pushed around. Why are people so excited about Lindstrom? No strength. Plays high." His uncle, Dave LIndstrom, also played in the NFL. He finished his Boston College career with 48 consecutive starts. "He appears to be a solid Day 2 prospect," according to NFL Draft Bible. He's from Dudley, Mass.
