Cameron Erving, (Center/Tackle) FLA State

[IDEXAN]

STRENGTHS: Versatile athlete with blend of size, athleticism, length, light feet and flexibility. Toughness, aggressive and works to finish opponents with strong hands and impressive natural power in his lower half. Easily reaches and dominates at the second level. Pulls smoothly, showing impressive initial quickness and acceleration for a man his size. Equally effective sealing off defensive tackles at center or mirroring pass rushers as a left tackle. Smooth athleticism in his kick-step to handle speed off the edge. Strong hands to latch on and control the opponent. Plays with proper knee-bend to win leverage battle.

WEAKNESSES: Could be a more consistent technician. Gets by on tremendous athletic ability. Footwork can be sloppy in pass protection and he bends the waist to catch the rush instead of absorbing with his lower half. When engaged tries to win with his upper body rather than his lateral swiftness. Aggression can work against him. Fails to adjust when blocking on the move when not focused. Most weaknesses are correctable with NFL coaching.

Here's a name we are starting to see on mocks with some pointing to him as the Texans choice. He was first a DT then converted to offensive tackle and was all-conference at FSU while protecting Winstons blind side, then played a season at center and that's where the Texans would probably use him before eventually making him Duane Browns replacement.
Billy likes versatile offensive linemen, places a big priority on them and there certainly are reservation about Ben Jones being the Texans stating center after the departure of long-time starter Chris Myers, so we will see who this guy goes to and it's likely to be somewhere in the top round and never know might be Houston.
