Mike Mayock compares Ereck Flowers to 49ers RT Anthony Davis, who went #11 overall in 2010. The 49ers traded up from the 13th-overall pick with the Denver Broncos in order to select him. Davis, who is 25 now, has started at RT for the 49ers ever since they drafted him, including all 16 games as a 21-year-old rookie. 49ers recently signed him to an extension through 2019. Will be free agent in 2020 (in 2013, 49ers signed him to a 7 yr/$40M contract with $17M guaranteed)

Good comparison. Davis was very young as a prospect too.

That was a good 1st round for the 49ers that year. They used our 1st round pick at 17 the idiot Marty Hurney gave them the year before so he could select Everett Brown to pick Mike Iupatti.

 

Fug I hate Hurney.

Care to elaborate?

 

His pass protection is very poor, his footwork needs a lot of work, he is caught off balance a lot and he has poor arm work and grabs a lot. He has all the physical tools to become a LT but I don't think he'll ever end up being good in enough in pass protection. Certainly would not help us immediately and probably not even in the next few years. Not worth a 1st rounder IMO.

Miami Herald:

Not that NFL scouts would ever forget, but Miami Hurricanes tackle Ereck Flowers is a reminder that you can’t judge a prospect by his worst game.

For Flowers, that game – at least in 2014 – was against the Virginia Cavaliers last November. Miami surrendered four sacks, the Hurricanes got spanked, and the Cavaliers “ate [Flowers’] lunch a little bit,” Mike Mayock said Monday.

Then the NFL Network analyst popped in the Nebraska tape. A completely different story. Flowers was so good against top edge rusher Randy Gregory, the Cornhuskers switched the all-conference defensive end to the other side of the line, Mayock learned.

And when Mayock watched Flowers against Florida State, he saw more of the same.

“I really like the kid,” Mayock said during a conference call with reporters Monday. “He plays at a high level. Worst-case scenario, he’s a right tackle, and perhaps a left tackle down the road.”

Prospects' tape gets evaluated so differently. Mayock said

Virginia was Flowers worst tape, I know many that would say

opposite.

Emmanual Benton @ Manny_PPI Feb 16

Interesting of Mayock to say Ereck Flowers ' worst game was

vs UVA... he handed Eli Harold pretty well. But mentioned

better games - vs FSU

Adam Beasley @ AdamHBeasley Feb 16

Mayock is very high on Ereck Flowers out of UM. Said that

tape against Nebraska and Florida State really popped.

Emmanual Benton @ Manny_PPI Feb 16

Mayock says Miami T Ereck Flowers could potentially

become a pro-bowl right tackle. Maybe a left tackle.

I thought I heard someone say Flowers was only 20. Wiki says DOB 1994

      BREAKING NEWS: Trevin Wallace out for the year

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
