Giants: Flowers Powers

Needless to say, I finally got a good night's sleep now that the line has been fixed.  Of course, they still need some depth, but we have 6 more rounds and 7 more picks to find some.  A lot of people believe that Scherff was more pro-ready, and he should be as he's 2 or three years older than Ereck Flowers.   At the same time, as a true junior Flowers has more upside.   So they were probably very close on the board.

The Giants, btw, has done well drafting true juniors, and you you can just look at some of the best players on the team and during the two SB runs and see that is true.   Flower just turned 21 last Saturday.

Marc Ross referred to Flowers as a Man-Child, and their's probably some accuracy in that, as he hasn't completely grown into what he's going to be yet.

On tape you see a willing and eager blocker who needs work on some stuff with his hands and feet, but like Scherff, had the will to make his blocks even when his form was off, and the strength to overcome leverage disadvantages created by his mistakes.    That really augers well for both of their futures.

Meanwhile, and this is a really good point, my friend Vishal brought up the case of Seantrel Henderson.   You'll remember his as the great tackle recruit who had a really star crossed career at Miami and tumbled in the draft -- only to flourish and beat out more highly regarded prospects last year for the Bills.  So think about how Ereck Flowers - who's been getting the same coaching Seantrel did - might flourish under Flats and his assistant.

We might have hit another homerun with this Giant who's said to only care about Football.
