Pick #146 Tre Flowers

[Sports Hernia]

Just hope he gets his head turned around when the ball is closing in.
Don’t want a Shead 2.0.

Yep, that is a Seahawks DB.

Physically, this kid looks like Sherman to me.

 

[Northwest Seahawk]

If he can be anywhere close to what Sherman was his first 5 years this is a great pick.

 

[Elemas]

Wow...wasn't aware of him prior to the draft. Highlights don't show much on the negative side but...you can tell his instincts are incredible.

 

[raisethe3]

I am excited with this pick. I like what I see on tape.

Fantastic pick again. It is just boring for discussion though because of how good the Hawks are at finding Corners late in the draft. It's just like "yep, he is long, fast, and physical." At worst he is Shead, but I think he is a much better prospect than that.

 

[hawknation2018]

He doesn't turn his hips well, at all, and is a bit stiff in changing direction in general. I do like his arm length.

 

[TwilightError]

The long arms and his length will give a hard time for the tall receivers of this league. He definitely looks the part for a Seahawks cornerback.

 

[WindCityHawk]

Oh wow, I was wondering why we didn't pick a corner. I'm really excited for this guy now.

 

[mrblitz]

hopefully he's the enforcer corner we've been missing since brandon browner.

Classic Pete. Draft a safety and tell him you're our new cornerback. Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't. Worst case, we've got some insurance in the event Kam retires.

They tried it last year with Mike Tyson. Flowers has much better length than Tyson and is faster, making him a bit more intriguing as a conversion project.

I hope he can learn to press like Browner because this kid definitely has all the measurable to dominate like he did.

While he’s not guaranteed a roster spot, I’d be surprised if he didn’t make the 53 man in September, in part, to his potential.

He has the length, speed, effort and pedigree of an NFL starter, can you think of a better team to unlock his full potential than Seattle?

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Another intriguing pick, can't wait to see what he can do.

“The first call Tre Flowers got was from the Arizona Cardinals, who told him they would select him in the sixth round if he was still available,” writes Adam Zuvanich of the San Antonio Express-News. “But the Seahawks swooped in and scooped him up first. Flowers said Seattle put him through a private workout in Stillwater, Oklahoma, a couple weeks beforehand, wanting him to transition to cornerback even though he was a standout safety for Oklahoma State.”

The Cardinals were without a fifth-rounder after trading up in the first to select quarterback Josh Rosen. Arizona was hoping Flowers would still be available the following round.

But the Seahawks “swooped” in and added depth to the ever-evolving Legion of Boom. Flowers had an impressive workout with the team’s scouts and Seattle does indeed plan to convert the stand-out safety to cornerback, as Carroll explained in his post-draft press conference.

Man the lowlights must be low because that video makes the dude look like a first rounder. So Seahawky. Seems like a great pick

 

[ivotuk]

Damn he has some long arms. Another Seahawk DB, stolen in the 5th round. :irishdrinkers:

Somebody should Photoshop him at the 50, reaching out and tipping at a pass at the 10 yard line

 

[SoulfishHawk]

He does look like a damn good player overall. This is a great time to be drafted by the Hawks, plenty of spots available to show what you have.
