2015 NFL Mock Draft 4.0: Early Free Agency Reactions

Miami. Ereck Flowers. 25. player. 87. The Panthers added Michael Oher in free agency, but he can’t be seen as the future at tackle for the Carolina Panthers. Ereck Flowers is a massive tackle prospect with the potential to develop into a starting left tackle in the NFL. His footwork is sloppy, but he’s still very young. Cam got his weapon in Kelvin Benjamin last year, now he needs upgraded protection.. OT

Torrey Smith and Jacoby Jones left via free agency leaving Steve Smith (36 in May) as they only viable receiving option on the Ravens. No bueno. Devin Smith will offer the same, if not better, vertical speed that the Ravens lost in Torrey Smith’s departure. Devin Smith is a bit of a one trick pony at this point in his career, but he has flashed the potential to develop into a solid route runner at the next level.. WR. Ohio State. Devin Smith. 26. player. 26

Oklahoma. Jordan Phillips. 27. player. 123. The Cowboys offensive line is set up to be dominant for the next few years. Their defensive line isn’t. They have a solid young player in defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence, but they could use some talent at defensive tackle. Jordan Phillips is a big defensive tackle (6’5″, 329), but don’t strictly label him as a 3-4 nose guard. For his size, Phillips is an incredible athlete with a rare first step. He could thrive in the 1-technique, shade, or even play some 3-technique. If Phillips didn’t have a lingering back problem, he would go much, much higher than 27th.. DT

player. 45. The Denver Broncos lost Orlando Franklin to free agency and they could use an interior upgrade so Peyton Manning doesn’t get obliterated in what could be his final season as a pro. Cameron Erving is a good athlete who has the ability to play every single spot along the offensive line. He started the season at left tackle, but moved to center around the halfway mark and dominated. Erving has a bright future ahead of him.. OL. Florida State. Cameron Erving. 28
