I think he is still somewhat raw and needs polishing by good coaching. His stock has gone up since the draft season picked up in earnest but a lot of that has to do with him being an underclassman from a mediocre ACC team and people weren't focussed on him. Think he has some fighter in him and likes playing football (I don't think Barron had much fight or true love of the game) and can be a bit nasty. Flowers will plow people down run blocking but will be beaten in pass protection on occasion. Good enough to start his first year and will only get better. More importantly, I think he has the desire to get better and doesn't like getting beaten. Think he would make a solid bookend ROT to go with Robinson at LOT.
Totally agree with this. Flowers was one of the guys I looked at before the combine so I expected the hype (same with GRob last year). Ereck's very talented------he was the reason Miami moved Seantril Henderson to RT-----very dedicated and works hard. For me, I think it's between him and Collins as the best combo run/pass blocker this year, but Ereck is much bigger and stronger. Ereck posted 37 reps on the bench even with him having 34" plus arms. Flowers at ORT and Scherff at LG would go a long long way towards our ol problems.
BTW----Henderson went undrafted but started all 16 games for the Bills at LT this season; it was more than his lack of talent at Miami he had suspensions, poor work ethic, and maturity issues as well.
