I like Hayden but would trade out of 12. As many needs as there are (DE, CB, OT, OG, OLB, DT, WR still, S) I'd want to trade down maybe a couple of times into the low 20's and get as many 2nd / 3rd rounders as possible and still think we could draft Hayden there. I'd esp. want to do so if we landed Albert in a trade - to give us another 2nd. Multiple picks are key. Also, I like Fluker, but he has too many liabilities in pass pro, imo, to draft him at 12 (or for him to go in the top 10 as Mayock thinks). I think he holds better value at 18-20 and beyond.
I prefer Watson, but Fluker is one heck of a RT imo, maybe a target if we trade down. I watched a lot of film of DEs going up against Fluker, and from what I saw he pretty much handled all of them. A beast in the run game and pretty solid in pass pro, this guy is a really good RT.
In a power man scheme he would be great. In a zone scheme, I think his lack of movement skills would render him a below average tackle. The guy cannot move his feet at all.
He's not the nimblest of guys, but from what I saw he was effective in pass pro. Not the best fit I agree, and again I prefer Watson, but Fluker is a darned good player imo. Here's some film- you can see the lack of quickness at :22 and elsewhere, he's just not the most agile player. Again, if I'm going RT early then Watson is my guy. If we go LT I was impressed with David Bakhtiari. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6eoZdR-ZTQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEwGbfY8rQ8 You're on the mark, Fluker would be better in a power scheme.
There are a lot of quick DEs in the NFL who play on Fluker's side (some of the quickest pass rushers in the past few years attacked from there - including Wake and Freeney) - Fluker's inability to move his feet quickly would make it tough for him there which is why I think his value is lower in round 1. He does have incredible arms (his wing span is 86 inches!) and he's very strong and powerful. And, well-coached and a hard worker as best I can tell from watching him here in AL. Watson does seem like a better fit in our scheme with better agility.
