Would Ereck Flowers be a reach at 25?

[Galvatron]

Todd McShay is mocking that we'd take him in the draft... What say people who know more than me?

 

25) - Ereck Flowers - Carolina Panthers (7-8-1)

COLLEGE: Miami (FL)

Class: Jr

HT: 6-6

WT: 325

POS: OT

Analysis: Flowers has a really good combination of size (6-6, 325 pounds), strength, agility and toughness, possesses great football character and has played both right tackle and left tackle for the Hurricanes the past two seasons. He needs to get better with his hand placement and pad level, but his weaknesses that show up on tape are all correctable. He's a guy who has improved throughout his career and has the upside to continue to do so.

Getts will set up our draft through FA. We may or may not need a 1st rd tackle

[The Huddler]

Ereck?

What kind of Eric spells it like that?

The one thing Gettleman has taught us is that he will take the highest rated guy on his board. Flowers is huge and played both LT and RT at Miami. Dave views LT as a need based on Voth's interview. So, if Dave has Flowers rated high and he's on the board at 25 and there is no other player sitting there that Dave has rated higher, then it's not a reach.

That's probably around where he goes, would be a good pick I think

Many have him rated higher than 25, so not a reach per se.

 

Just have to see if he fits what Gman is looking for

FA starts March 3rd or something right?

[Galvatron]

I don't take these seriously since we were projected to take a TE for 5 years in a row a while back. It's informative though since I usually don't hear these players' names until this time of year.

For some reason I feel like we won't take a tackle in the first, my gut tells me well have a veteran starting at LT this year

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

Maybe double down and do both? I'd be ok with that. Also, still on the board would be La'El Collins from LSU.

That's pretty intimidating, even from just the measurables perspective. Kalil would be the "shrimpiest" and I'm good with that.

I'd be very very nervous.
