Panthers met with Miami OT Ereck Flowers

[LinvilleGorge]

Flowers won't be a longterm starter at LT. Don't want him in the first.

 

Care to elaborate?

[Mr. Scot]

Gettleman has made clear he goes more off of game film than workouts.

[Rags]

I'd pop 10 boners if he's on board when we pick and we draft him.

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.

I think RT is the ceiling on Flowers

 

Don't think his footwork is good enough for the left side.

 

I picture Bell

Thank goodness

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.

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.

[SCP]

He'll be gone :-(

[Leeroy Jenkins PhD]

Alright huddle, what can we do to tank Flowers draft status?  Can we start a rumor that he didn't show up to the Panthers interview???

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