Dan Feeney

Would you trade down and pick him up at the bottom of Round 1. I think he can be a stalwart at the right guard spot for a long time. Move flowers to RT, and grab Whitworth and we're set.
he's my pick for round 2

but I agree, I don't think he makes it that far.

He reminds me of Snee. Pure RG.
Yes please

especially if we do not either add a guard in FA or do not go OL in round 1.
I would be very happy with Feeney

in the first with a trade down. Then target Tanoh Kpassagnon in round 2.
Flowers needs to COMPETE for a spot. He should not be given RT.

I no longer sure that Flowers can be a starter at tackle or guard, unless he learned and trained much more this offseason than last.
I'd take him at 55

Not sure I'd trade down, or up, for him.
If He's Like Snee  
Samiam : 2/19/2017 5:38 pm : link
you take him at 23 and dont look back.

as an aside, I dont think Flowers has ever played guard or RT. Why is everybody so certain that he could change positions?
I think he was penciled in,

to be the RT, but Beatty hurt himself, and thus the move to LT....
He started at RT as a freshman in College  
USAF NYG Fan : 2/19/2017 5:48 pm : link
Moved to LT the following year. Agree with Doomster. I think the original plan was for him to start at RT his rookie year. It's rare to see a LT starter as a rookie but Beatty got hurt so .....
The problem with the logic demonstrated

Signing a 35 year old lineman is merely an attempt to solve a problem. It does not necessarily solve the problem, contrary to the language used in the thread.

All historical statistical evidence points to it being unlikely to succeed. How many LTs can you recall sucessfully starting in the NFL at that age.

Whitworth may be the exception that proves the rule, but this is in reality the riskiest of potential solutions.
Move Flowers

to guard. He won't be any better on the right side than he was on the left. He's toast, teams will put their best pass rusher against him all day. His only hope is if he can play guard.
