So Flowers is in camp.
Who does he have to compete against at the moment for the starting job?

Wheeler and Tyler Howell Gates played guard in the rookie minnie camp but who knows he might be in there too,wheeler has a chance if he put in the time in weight room and learning the pro game seemed to be decent athlete.

I think it's definitely a positive that we at least know if flowers is starting it's because he won the job and wasn't just handed it. Between flowers, wheeler and Howell whoever wins the job should be an upgrade over hart. So both tackle positions should be improved. As well as both guard positions as long as hernandez can step in and play how we expect.

If Wheeler wins the RT spot, the Giants are in big trouble

The new Giants leadership did well so far managing Beckham and Apple so hopefully Flowers can play out his final season as a Giant without causing drama and maybe even contributing meaningfully somehow (doubtful)

If Wheeler wins the RT spot, the Giants are in big trouble you've seen enough of him to know he is terrible? We have all seen enough of Flowers to see his technical abilities are in the dumpster. But Wheeler has not had too much playing time yet

But Wheeler has had too much playing time yet to further this, last year was his first out of college, and he was a bit undersized. He did play ok in the limited action he saw. If he put on some weight, and worked on his technique, there is no reason why he can't win the job, and do it pretty well.

If he worked on them during the off season, he can succeed.

wonder if we could pick up Austin Howard - the RT formerly of the Raiders & Jets.

Makes me wish the player we supposedly coveted in the 2016 draft, Jack Conklin fell to us. But...….

As well as both guard positions as long as hernandez can step in and play how we expect. Not sure about that. Seems to me that he was handed the job the minute he decided to show up for OTA’s

It would have shown Reese questioned his on motives on who he picked with the 9th pick in the previous draft. Not one GM would have done that. Never ever going to happen.

Not one GM would have done that. Never ever going to happen. Conklin was regarded as a RT We had Newhouse under contract . I just did not see Reese using a top 10 on a RT. I still think Eli is going to be a great corner for us. I also think Flowers is going to be a good RT . He was not going to use back to backs on OTs . If he did not draft Apple and drafted Conklin as the RT We would have need a LT and a top Corner FAs. We had no cap space for that this year. Just the way I see it. It was a good move not to take him.

If Flowers doesn't improve, I don't see Wheeler as the guy unless he improves immensely. If neither can answer the bell, there will be an upgrade available on cut day...….. Let's hope for the best with Flowers for starters.
