Other then that though Baltimore is pretty much "money" when it comes to making picks. A bunch of their picks in redrafts would easily be top 10, even top 5 picks (Reed, Lewis, Ngota, Suggs, Oher, Flacco, Grubbs)

I personally think Newsome and company are far and away the best front office in the game. Most front offices that are considered elite do well on a QB and ride that wave of success, while the Ravens have done what they have been doing for years without a franchise QB. Now that they have Flacco the skies the limit.

What's crazy is that the Ravens traded a 2003 2nd and a 2004 1st for the chance to draft Boller.

What's even crazier is that he's not even the guy they wanted. That was the year they were trying to draft Leftwich and were working on a trade with the Vikings to move from #10 to #7. But I guess amidst all the confusion, Tice and the Vikings missed their allotted time to make their selection and the Jaguars jumped in and took Leftwich

ya, but think if Suh or mcCoy drops to 4. They could be salivating over adding one of those names to that Defense of theirs. Anything could happen i guess.........

I don't know how you pass up on Suh at 4. I will break a TV if they pick Jimmy Clausen and Suh is on the board.

Not a bad trade, our 4th is 1800 pts, their 25th is 720, give Gaither a 15-16th value of 1000-1050 would equal out.
We could then get someone like Ryan Matthews-RB, Pouncey-C/G, or B.Campbell for RT, to go with Gaither-LT, and then select McCoy in the 2nd round.
I would be ok with that.

[Son Of Man]

I would have to agree that Campbell (at 27yrs old with 5 years NFL experience) will net us a 3rd rounder. Soeone will think they can coach him up.

Or how bout using the 2nd for the Rams LT -Barron- that they drafted in the first last yr? they have a 2nd round tender on him. Could pair him with Okung and be set for the next decade.jmho

I think you are confusing Barron for Jason Smith, but I'd be willing to go as high as a 4th to trade and acquire Alex Barron. I don't think he's anything more than a right tackle who false starts a lot, but we don't have a player like that and even if we spend the first round choice on Okung, we still won't have a player like that. So while Gaither is probably both a better player and a better value, if we're set on going QB with that second round pick, Barron is a nice pickup for a cheap draft choice.

I wouldn't extend him though until he gets a chance to fit into this scheme.

Barron is trash.. I wouldn't even give a 3rd for him.. he was drafted in 2005

most penalized lineman last year

[Mechanix544]

Indeed interesting, but I would like a rookie instead.........

Damn we need more picks.

[tryfuhl]

I don't think that Barron is much better than Heyer, if any. I'd just assume keep him or draft somebody at the 4th or later. Barron is known to hold quite a bit as well.

[Ruhskins]

So I guess this thread is dead, right?

[DBUCHANON101]

I think i had Barron confused with someone else.. sorry guys.

[SmootSmack]

Think we can lock this one
