Would Ereck Flowers be a reach at 25?

From a fan's perspective, how would you feel about this o-line in August 2015

LT - Flowers 6'6" 325lbs

LG - Norwell 6'6" 310lbs

C - Kalil 6'2" 300lbs

RG - Turner 6'3" 320lbs

RT - Remmers 6'5" 300lbs

It'd all hinge on Flowers. But if this guy is really as talented as people say with franchise LT potential he isn't going to be there in the 20s. The only way he falls that far is if there are big question marks...which then makes you wonder if he'd be worth it.

Franchise LTs go in the top 10. Guys with franchise potential go in the top 20. RTs go where we are drafting.

I think your post needs to have the words "often", or "much of the time". But NOT always. Duane Brown was taken at 26 and Joe Staley was taken at 28.

I don't see us being able to spend the money to sign King Dunlap. Considering the OT market will be pretty shallow this offseason he will probably be overvalued. I believe Derek Newton would be a more affordable option and he can run block which is what our offense likes to do. I would honestly prefer us to sign 2 OT so we won't have to have a rookie start and have him learn on the bench. We also wouldn't have to reach for an OT if we do so.

Clemmings got beat like a drum on just about every inside move at the Senior Bowl. Looked very very raw.

 

I wouldn't touch him.

 

He scares me---so does Sambrailo.  I thought, after the SR bowl practices, that Clemmings and Sambralo would drop to third rounders.

 

The way I see it---

1. Scherff (top 12)

2. Peat (top 16)

3. Flowers (top 25)

4. Collins (top 25)

5. Fisher (top 40)

I don't know about anything else, but I'll say this.  If there's a guy sitting there at #25 who we think is a starting caliber NFL LT, just fuging take him.  I might bitch and moan about it if there's some other guy there who I really want, but trust me, I'll get over it and STFU if that guy becomes another Jordan Gross for us.

    • What is your personal grade of this draft?
    • No disrespect intended, but you act as if we are supposed to value your opinion when it is all emotion and no fact.  The roster (I assume you mean offense) is "still trash" because someone who just signed up for the Huddle has declared it to be so?   Buhahaha.  ha.  Let me show you how FACTS work, and why emotional, unsupported opinions don't carry much weight: TE: Upgraded through the draft.  Sanders is a weapon that should improve the passing game and give Bryce an outlet he did not have last year. RB:  We just drafted the best RB in college football, one who can protect the passer, run the ball, and catch the ball like nobody else on the roster.  His knee will be cleared July 1.  OL: We just signed two of the best guards in football.  that is what Payton did to protect Brees.  Ekwonu has the skill and talent, he was simply missing technique.  We got him a better OL coach.  Center?  Bozeman was ineffective last year.  Corbett is an established veteran OLman.  It seems we are much better up front. WR:  We added a guy who gets open and has averaged about 900 yards per game as a #2 in Pittsburgh with an inferior QB there.  Thielen was a 1000 yard WR last season.  We have not had a #2 like XL, with his YAC capabilities and ability to catch contested passes.  In other words, the X is much better; the Z will be replaced with a stud WR, and the veteran slot will probably not be the #1 WR in 2024--he should be the #2 or even #3 most effective WR.  The 2023 Z WR, who had 418 yards and was showing signs of improving, will not be a starter in 2024.   As much as the OL has improved, we improved the weapons.  QB:  All of these additions increase levels of protection for the QB that he did not have last year and they give him more powerful weapons that he did not have last year.  Young will not be a rookie getting hammered trying to throw to people who are not separating.  This should make him improved.  How much? remains to be seen. Now keep in mind that we did this by not reworking contracts and kicking the can down the road.  We did not have a first rounder in the draft.  We added a second rounder to next year's draft.  We also addressed needs on defense as well, adding established DL, OLBs, ILBs, and DBs.  We get 2 first round pick starters who were injured most of the season back on that defense.  Yes, we lost Burns, Luvu, and a few others, but while being good players, they were either asking for too much money or they were not great fits for the system.  So the D should be better as well. That is not trash.
