Overview
Linnenkohl has the experience, enough size and ability to contribute as a backup lineman at the next level but is unlikely to develop into a starter down the road. As a run blocker, won't get a ton of movement and isn't overly comfortable in space but does a good job of maintaining once locked on. In pass protection, can hold his ground against the bull rush but isn't a great matchup when squared off with athletic interior pass rushers. Shows good football IQ in pass pro but needs to polish up his run-blocking recognition skills. Linnenkohl is a seventh rounder or rookie free agent.
Analysis
Weaknesses
Does not have NFL-average size or athleticism. Struggles to mirror gap-penetrating defensive tackles. Doesn't fire off the ball and often loses the initial positioning battle in the running game. Rarely gets movement off the line of scrimmage. Not comfortable moving to the second level. Doesn't show a mean streak.

| Grade | Title | Draft (Round) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 96-100 | Future Hall of Famer | Top Pick | A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played |
| 85-95 | Immediate Starter | 1st | An impact player with the ability/intangibles to become a Pro Bowl player. Expect to start immediately except in a unique situation (i.e. behind a veteran starter). |
| 70-84 | Eventual Starter | 2nd-3rd | A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position. |
| 50-69 | Draftable Player | 4th-7th | A prospect with the ability to make team as a backup/role player. Needs to be a special teams contributor at applicable positions. Players in the high range of this category might have long-term potential. |
| 20-49 | Free Agent | UDFA | A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body. |
