Flowers was bad. Really bad. So was Walker, but they had him rated otherwise as well. 


Nonetheless - they have to do something about depth - and Flowers May be in camp to compete for a backup role. Doubt he wins it, but...

I mean, besides Linder, who wasn't bad on the OL? They were all garbage, but you can't replace all of them and you don't just run off guys when you literally have nobody else.

FA comes before the draft and you can't assume you're going to fill every need in the draft. I also never said Flowers would win out anything, or be the guy. I simply just said that I wouldn't be surprised if they resigned him on a short/cheap contract to try and fill that swing tackle role.

I disagree. 

Parnell had a few bad games against speed rushers before injury but he wasn’t garbage. Same kind of deal with Norwell. 
Wells played solid before going down. Not garbage either. Good backup level play from him. 

I didn’t say to run Flowers off. I said he’d probably lose the backup role to someone better in camp. 

Wells >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Flowers   Regardless of whatever PFF is saying. 

I hope they have competition in camp for
O-Line depth that includes Wells, Flowers, a mid to late pick or two and a couple of UDFAs. 

They also obviously need to take a lineman early in the draft to hopefully start.
