On the premise that Jerry Reese will spend a first or second-round draft choice on the offensive line, this grade could be a bit better after the draft.

With the addition of former San Diego Charger D.J. Fluker, Big Blue has created competition on the line. Hopefully, this should bring out the best of the big men.

Fluker was signed to a one-year, “prove-it” deal and is seeking a career resurgence after dominating in college. This is his golden ticket to big money, so you can bet that he will leave it all on the field this upcoming season.

With left tackle Ereck Flowers no guarantee to start, he will have to prove himself this offseason to retain his spot on the starting squad. Flowers is only 22 years old, and is forced to line up against some of the most vicious players in the NFL. The guy deserves some slack.
