He doesn't get the love from this board that he gets from pro scouts and other fans. Most of the fans here, wants smaller, lean guys that plays finesse football.

21 reps at 225lbs, and has struggled in pass protect. I want someone who might not be the best power run blocker but can keep up with a Jason Pierre Paul. Some people think because a guy is really big that makes him stronger which is not the case.

He had fewer reps bc his arms are ridiculously long. That's not a bad thing.

Fluker plays a power game and he is a very powerfull lineman. The bench is not a tell-all by any means for a lineman with long arms such as Fluker. He is known forl getting his hands on a defender, and it is over.

If a team thinks Fluker could stick at RT and if moved play really well at guard I would take him over Warmack and Cooper.

I like him better than Warmack for just this reason.

What if the Cowboys sign Winston to a short term deal and draft Fluker to start at guard with the plan to eventually move him to tackle?

This saddens me, I was crossing my fingers he'd be in play at 18.

I'm not the biggest Fluker fan. But it would be interesting if we drafted him and signed Clabo as a FA. Two guys who could conceivably play either tackle or guard. The possibilities and versatility on that line would be fun...

I think you're right....at the very least top 10. If Eric Johnson and Joeckle both go before Arizona at 7, they know Zona will take Johnson.

Those three OTs are just rare players at a highly valued position. I doubt the Phins would risk waiting on Johnson, as San Diego would be sprinting to the podium at 11 at the very latest.
Eric Johnson is a guitar player.

Dude is extremely talented because he also played TE for the 49ers and is making babies with Jessica Simpson.

Skilled guy.

Maybe he's a Fisher(man) too.
