ROUND 3 is usually Cleveland’s spot to draft a linebacker


The defense on this Browns’ roster has plenty of linebackers. But make no mistake about it, there is always a need for one more.

The Browns are an analytics team and analytics say to not pay linebackers. So with Cleveland owning the #78 pick in Round 3, this is a perfect place to pluck a young head hunter. Tindall is ranked number 79.

Tindall will get after it whether it is getting to the quarterback in a flash or chasing down a runner. He goes into offensive linemen with physicality. Very good coverage backer and a reliable tackler. Gets after the quarterback on the blitz with a great motor.

40-time: 4.47

Expert Draft Site Analysis

Overall, Tindall is an athletic linebacker with top-end speed to make plays from sideline-to-sideline against the run. The hope is that an expanded role and added experience will help him become a more consistent defender, but Tindall can at least be an excellent special teamer and dime linebacker. Impressive strength for an athletic linebacker. Has played snaps as a pure edge. Waited his turn at linebacker and worked his way into a significant role in final season.
