Panthers met with Miami OT Ereck Flowers

He's killing the combine:

"Flowers set the bar for offensive linemen at the combine in the bench press testing. Flowers, who measured in at 6-foot-6 and 329 pounds, bench-pressed 225 pounds 37 times. Making his feat slightly more impressive: he did it with arms that measured 34 1/2 inches long. Only seven of the 53 offensive linemen at the combine had lengthier limbs. Flowers moved that weight a greater distance than most.

In the 40-yard dash testing Friday, Flowers ran a 10-yard split — the key number for offensive linemen — in 1.78 seconds. Only three offensive linemen were quicker, each of them smaller and lighter."

Yeah, Flowers is probably driving himself too far up the draft board for us to have a chance at him.

 

I think we're going to meet with a TON of OTs.  I HOPE we meet with a ton of OTs.  I wouldn't mind double dipping in the least.  I like Remmers, don't get me wrong, but I'm not 100% certain that he's the long-term answer at RT.

another analyst not impressed:

I'm not a huge Ereck Flowers fan on film (Nebraska, FSU

games) and he's not been super impressive here either.

 

 i watched that same game vs. Nebraska, and he didn't have a bad game. a lot of people called Miller out on that too.

#Miami OT Ereck Flowers looking pretty good in change-of-

direction compared to most of the OL. Jake Fisher also

looked good, unsurprisingly.

Ereck Flowers 5.29 1.78 That's an I make money ten yard

split

gridironstuds.com Chad Wilson @GridironStuds 4h

That's stupid that Ereck Flowers moves like that at that size.

6'6 1/4" 329 lbs. and gliding across the turf like a summer

breeze.

Ereck Flowers is a great example of a guy who wasn't great

as a junior but worked hard senior year of hs, got bigger

offers. Killing combine

    • Not really. It all depends upon perspective. You can draft quality OTs high every year. They have one of the lowest bust rates by position. DTs, less so, but good ones still come along at a regular clip. With WRs, it's simply best to draft one in the first round if you want a legit play maker. Moreover, WR is going to set you back more than OT or DT at really all statuses, meaning JAG receivers are going to make more than JAG OTs and DTs, and elite receivers will make substantially more than elite OTs or DTs. I would also argue that it's much harder to find a franchise level OT or DT that can have an altering impact upon the game. So, if you don't believe they can, you may as well wait for day 2 or 3. That's why sticking to your board is probably the wisest thing to do. If you're not committed that the value is there, then what are you doing? Lastly, I don't think you should necessarily draft in a vacuum, but you must look at each team from year to year. People want to make them the same, but they're different. You have to start over every year and identify where the strengths and weaknesses are. You can't say, "Well we drafted [so and so] last year or two years ago, so we'll just draft this this year." That's not realistic and it can be highly counterproductive, especially in light of the reason that you should be trying to use FA to set up the draft.
    • If you read through his stuff, he's had a raging hate-boner for the Carolina Panthers the likes of which would make many long-tenured Huddlers blush. Every win was "yeah but" and every loss was "see I told you so".
    • Let me preface this by saying I've read WalterFootball on and off for 20 years. That's an indictment on my decision-making, and it's more than fair to be questioned.  However, the days of reading what's become weak ragebait have drawn to a close after he re-graded the 2025 NFL Draft's first round. He gave T-Mac a C on draft night. What was his re-grade for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year?  Carolina Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona – C Grade One-Year Grade: C+ Grade Tetairoa McMillan won Offensive Rookie of the Year, but only by default after Emeka Egbuka vanished in the second half of the season. McMillan was good, and was certainly limited by Bryce Young’s mediocrity, but there are still concerns about his work ethic and passion for football. If he doesn’t progress in the coming years, we’ll know why. Original Write-up: Wow, our Panthers source did not pan out for once. Jalon Walker was heavy chalk to go here, but the Panthers decided to draft a No. 1 receiver instead. While this fills a need, I’m concerned with Tetairoa McMillan’s work ethic, which is something you never want to hear from a first-round prospect, especially one who is chosen in the top 10. Bryce Young needs this, and McMillan is talented, but will he give 100 percent at the next level? Also, what about the defense, which was the worst in the NFL last year? https://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades2025.php
