I would be surprised if Linderbaum goes pro this year. You never see 2 centers go in round 1 and Creed Humphrey has the number 1 spot locked up. Should be the top center in 2021 though.

I'm guessing he stays but probably depends on the season he has. Might be hard for him to move up much if Purdy leaves.
Centers always seem a little undervalued in the NFL draft. I remember when the Cowboys took Travis Frederick late in the first round and a lot of the so called experts called it a big reach. Turned out to be a pretty great pick for them.
More to do with analytic positional value. Interior lineman, run stuffing DT, and RB just don’t have the draw in today’s game, you see maybe 5 of those 3 positions combined go in round 1.
I'm not counting on that. Selfishly I'd love to have him back but he needs to do the best for him
I’m sure whatever feedback he gets from scouts will play a big part.
He’s a smart kid, engineering major. If he graduates this year I’d guess he will go.
And to think just months ago many Iowa fans said Nate Stanley was better than Purdy
Stop listening to your Hawkeye brethren on here who talked about Stanley being a first rounder. Cyclone fans know they mean very little at this point.
276 yards on 70% completions isn’t hurting him. But the 1 TD is below average I guess. But that was against a better Iowa defense than this years will be.
Could you imagine Purdy against their defense this year? He would absolutely shred them. He'd have that stadium as quite as it's going to be now that there is a pandemic and limited fans
