Fluker is a good player and would definitely provide an upgrade to our OL. Not sure I'd take him at 18 though, might have to trade down into mid 20's or so to get me more interested.


If we took him at 18, I wouldn't hate the pick. Not at all. But I would like to think we could move down and get him and some extra picks.

355 is about 20 or so over his listed playing weight...

I don't know how you or anyone can say who will be or not be where be in terms of the draft, especially with a Guard, that only plays guard.

He might be just a G, but he is a dominant G from a bigtime superpower in college football.

He's one of the best players in the draft regardless of position, and almost a sure thing career long probowler at his position.

Strange things happen, but I'd be surprised if he is still there for us at 18. I'd definitely take him at that spot if he is there though.

CBSSPORTS has him listed at 6' 6 and 335 lbs. Fact is, that's all solid.

I'm liking the idea of having two bookend tackles, Smith and Fluker would be a hell of a tandem. If you are going to build an Oline, start from the perimeter and work inward.

These are the exact same words that was said about DeCastro just last year. Warmack is this year's DeCastro. Don't get me wrong, but I hope that Warmack is there for us at 18.

Warmack is much more talented and much more domiant than DeCastro was IMO

Looks like listening to questions really puts this guy in some pain.

then listening to his answers, that's when he inflicts pain on others.

Meh..id rather just roll with Parnell. Interior line and Dline are needs first

Having blind faith in Parnell is the kind of thing that got us in trouble before. Competition. Don't just assume the back-up(scrub?) from last year is suddenly the man.

Well that and if you cut Free, you suddenly don't have a swing tackle. Although I've heard they like that Darrion Weems guy.

I'd be OK with drafting a LT and moving Smith back to the right side as well.
