That is laughable. They've slotted Flowers in the 3rd round to the Bills with pick #83.

I don't think it's crazy that he could end up a 3rd rounder but 16 DE's going ahead of him is silly. Flowers is going to destroy it at the combine. He's got Charles Haley type athleticism but without all the crazy. Flowers could also play 3 technique NT in situational downs.

If he drops below the 40th pick some team is getting a steal.

I hope he does slip so Dallas can draft him really late.

Same thing happened last year with Hitches, who I thought was a great college LB. Turned out to be a steal for us.

since when is Walterfootball a beacon of enlightenment on upcoming draft picks?

they edit the goddamn mock 1,074 times before the actual draft.

Walterfootball is generally pretty bad, but they are accurate on needs of teams and a good gauge of current draft stock for players once the draft gets pretty close.

This far ahead of time, its hard for anyone to get more than the first couple picks right.

Guess you take McShay and McRug for the gospel.

I like their analysis and willingness to admit a mistake.

He'll kill it at the combine with that 55 inch box jump.

One thing you can't measure with just stats is it seems like almost every one of his 5 sacks came in a crucial 3rd down or in a situation where we needed one badly. Dude is clutch.

No... not at all.

I just think its worthless trying to pick on some guy's draft outlooks in December.

quit being a sensitive homer and move on.

Flowers is a good player.

Its as good a time as any. I like looking at draft boards to see who may go where, and from what schools. Helps me to look out for certain players in the bowl games.

well... at least he's one of the few who puts one out this early. I do like that.

but on the same note... I think its unfair to harp on something that will be edited several times over the next several months.

He has 19 LBs ahead of Martrell Spaight too which I thought was a lot for the SEC's leading tackler.

It's pretty much a crapshoot

So is anyone actually going to post a link to the mock draft?

They haven't even listed Jarran Reed on their DL rankings yet, unless they did in the last one or two updates.
