Ravens showing interest in McCants?

What round did we draft McCants? If he's restricted and signs with Baltimore, we'd get a draft pick as compensation- does anyone know what round he was drafted, and if we would get that pick this year or next year?
I love McCants, especially in the Red Zone. He always ends up on the other teams 3rd corner or safety and beats them every time with his size, hands and jumping ability. I hope we keep him, but I hope we don't have to pay a ridiculous amount to retain him...

McCants was a 5th rounder in 2001. That would give us a scintillating TWO fifth rounders in April, in addition to our first rounder. But two is better than one, I guess.

It won't take us long to make two 5th rounders disappear....

I think McCants might want to play for a team where he would have a much more prominent role, and we do have a bit of a logjam at WR right now. If McCants stays, Taylor Jacobs may not have a lot of room to get on the field to show what he can do.

And its true, I am already salivating about another "scintillating" 5th round draft choice. I can see the cover of Sports Illustrated now - a big number 5, and the headline "With two 5th round picks, can the Redskins be stopped?"

Sign Darnerian to a new multi-year deal, and trade Gardner to Baltimore for a 3rd rounder (or the best offer we can get). Either of them will flourish under Gibbs in the "Monk" type role, and McCants will be cheaper, even with a new deal. Plus, this is the last year of Gardner's contract, so he may be gone next year anyway....
