Serviceable is just another word for bad. I'm tired of having bad backups. I wanna at least have mediocre. Flowers flat out, sucks! It wouldn't take much to beat him out for a roster spot.

We're very thin at the position and only have so many draft picks. Backups are backups for a reason, especially on the OL.

PFF had him as the 3rd highest graded player on this Jags Offense (250 snap min) behind Linder and Westbrook. Maybe that speaks volumes for just how terrible everybody else is on this Offense, or maybe Flowers wasn't as god awful as everybody thinks he was with us.

I'm not saying he's good at all, but the chances you find somebody better with a 5th round pick is slim. QB, TE, OG, WR all need to be addressed before a swing tackle, at the minimum.
