He has the footwork, skill, and technique to be a real commodity at offensive tackle. I would think Houston would look at another QB in the draft, since their candidates right now are Tom Savage, Ryan Fitzpatrick, & Ryan Mallett – none of which stick out. All issues with the QB aside, texans get a value pick with Ogbuehi and get a strong protector for whoever they decide to have man the QB position.

17. San Diego Chargers

Ereck Flowers, OT, Miami

Ereck Flowers is rising up draft boards, and the San Diego Chargers have an offensive line that is struggling. Best thing to do? Draft a guy who is consistently getting better and protect Phillip Rivers from the strong division pass rushing defenses of Denver Broncos & Kansas City Chiefs. Not an exciting pick, of course, but the end result will pay dividends when Rivers has the time to throw to his playmakers such as Keenan Allen.

18. Kansas City Chiefs

Marcus Peters, CB, Washington

With the struggles of the secondary (I realize they face Peyton Manning twice a year), they have to get a corner who could fill in Eric Berry’s role. Eric Berry, as we all know, was diagnosed with Hodgkin Leukemia and may never play again. Even if he does, it doesn’t hurt to get the draft’s top corner in Marcus Peters. Peters was kicked off Washington’s team halfway through the year, but don’t think that will hurt his stock much, if at all.
