bkc Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 After assigning him just a first-round tender, the Ravens are believed to be willing to move restricted free agent LT Jared Gaither. Gaither would've gotten the first- and third-round tender if the Ravens were truly intent on keeping him. The Ravens want to move Michael Oher to left tackle. The Baltimore Sun suggests four possible destinations for Gaither: San Francisco, Indianapolis, Dallas, and Seattle. Teams targeting Gaither could probably work out a deal for less than the first-round pick. Source: Baltimore Sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 That would take care of our greatest need and let us use our 1st pick to take the best DT or QB available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovehatebuffalo Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I completely agree and been all bout it since i saw they tendered him with only a first round tender...i think a 2nd a 6th would be fair and depending on who is available at 9 (lets say an elite LT falls to us) trade back with one of the niners picks and get their first and probably a 2nd and get anthony davis with that pick and use the new 2nd for a NT or OLB?? All depending on Gaithers health/physical of course but hes young and played pretty well i think so if its possible i think they outta make it happen! What you think?

I think for a 2 and if he is healthy its a no brainer. You could take dan williams in round one or trade back a bit and double down at tckle and take a trent williams for the right side . Either way fill the left tackle spot then there is a lot more flexability and certainty moving forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I would totally do it for a 2nd. We also pick higher than any of those teams listed so all we gotta do is step in. Seems like a no brainer but you know how that goes around OneBillsDrive.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 If they do this trade it means that they aren't in love with the choices at #9 for LT, or they're looking more seriously at another position... ...CB, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 If somethinglike this happens, I would totally be on board with the #9 being a defensive player like Carlos Dunlap or Derrick Morgan, bigger ends who would look real good at RE in the 3-4........#9 is way too high for Dan Williams.

I think is means either they feel the tackles they like will be gone by #9 , ( a real Possibility ), or they feel Gaither offers better value as a second rounder then the available tackles would in round 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 It's very likely bkc. I would only grab Okung or Bulaga top 10 anyways. I have a feeling the Bills may feel the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 24 year old monster LT for a 2nd round pick hell I would throw in a 5th or a 6th in addition to the 2nd. If the Ravens are truly set on trading this guy away the Bills need to be on the horn. If I was Nix I would say hey Gather is young enough to be a draft choice so trading away a 2nd and a late or mid round pick for him is like drafting him. I think that this move really makes us much more flexible at pick 9 with LT sealed up we can take a QB, NT, or McLain and then with our 3rd round pick go after a RT. This is a great move to be made Mr.Nix if the Ravens want a extra late round pick or a mid round pick next year do it we need a LT and we can't be drafting for a LT at pick 9 because Buluga or Okung aren't likely to be there. Although if Buluga is there at pick 9 I would say take him just imagine a line like this Gather Levitre Hangartner or Mawae Wood Buluga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a guess by the Baltimore Sun, and frankly not a very good guess. They have two terrific tackles, and the sensational RT played LT for a few games and didn't do very well though he was not horrible. So ... definitely they want to move the RT to LT. Right. Also, you misquoted the article which NEVER says that Gaither is available or that they are believed to be willing to move him. It just never says that. http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/sports/rav...de_gaither.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunlap is big enough for a 3 - 4 DE, but Morgan just isn't. But DE is way down the list, because Stroud and Kyle Williams will make pretty solid DEs.

Who cares if the guy turns out to be good? I couldn't give two sh#%s about what some douchebag "mock drafters" think. If he is slated to go in the teens and we draft him at #9 and he proves to be a good NT, then who cares if we could have gotten better "value"?

Max997 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Gaither is solid when he plays but seems to get hurt a lot I would love to hear from the idiots on the board who said over and over that Oher couldnt play LT even though he did just that when Gaither was hurt last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie knows his stuff and I think that if he really didnt want him to leave itd a been a 1st n 3rd tender like what most teams do and wanna work out a long term deal etc. Now maybe they know somethin bout his health others, which in that case due diligence should be done...but pickin him up with a 2nd and maybe a saftey(donte if reed really retires) and gettin gaither and a late round in return seems pretty reasonable. I think so anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
