I'm not the biggest fan of Flowers, not a hater, not a huge fan though. On tape he is a powerful run blocker but needs a lot of touching up in pass protection. Like, alot. We're talking technique, hands, hips, kickslide. The whole works. He's a massive project, but if you give him his time he could be a all-pro tackle. I'd rather have Clemmings, Humphries, or even Jake Fisher.

no thanks.

If pass protection is his problem you can move him inside to guard to help cover up his weaknesses there. 

 

Where is he projected to be drafted?

I really liked his tape against Florida St., he looked really dominate against a good defense. However he looked shaky against Virginia, and brutal in the combine drills.

FSU had far from a good defense last year.  Specifically their D-line, very ineffective.

1st round.

You know an April visit by Flowers changes things....we have May showers...  

 

Clemmings for me.

[Dustin]

watching him right now and Duke Johnson just keeps sticking out. He's so good.

So elusive, a magician with the ball, and has that game speed that blurs past you. I was watching some Flowers tape last week and though the same thing.

[krunk]

I would really like to have Duke Johnson. I think he's a perfect fit on this team.

@OmarKelly: Mike Mayock said Ereck Flowers "is big, long, he's got great feet." He envisions Flowers as a "Pro Bowl right tackle. He's raw."

[12isthenew18]

i want him badly if he's available

[PeterBowman]

Colts could also be looking at replacement for Cherilus for 2016 Season.

Fisher has moved way up for me,  but (A) he's a zone scheme blocker and not a power-man blocker, so he's not a fit for the Colts, and (B)  he's not a 1st round pick for me.     But he's a high second.

 

The best news out of this report, along with the one about Cummings,  (have there been links to other tackles?)  is that it shows we're serious about a possible o-tackle draft pick perhaps even in the first round.

Eddie Goldman and Mario Edwards are on their D-line. That's no joke. 

[BProland85]

I like La'el Collins, DJ Humphries, and Jake Fisher as potential Colts picks over Flowers.

[riftastic28]

Watt clownley wilfork Cushing .. We need to polish up the line ..

I'm not talking about individual players with potential, I'm talking about how they played. It wasn't good, including those two.

73rd in the nation against the run. That's a joke as far as I'm concerned.
