    Gaither for a 2nd?

    Could solve our LT need with a 2nd round pick.

    Gaither in the 2nd.

    Opens up our ability to go BPA in the first.

    Time is running out for teams to sign restricted free agent Ravens tackle Jared Gaither to an offer sheet, but he may be available for less than his first round tender.


    Would you do it?

    Honestly, he'd be worth it, but I'd be willing to bet they'd take less than a 2.

        6-9 340, 23 years old. Seems like a good guy.

        I think you could find question marks about any player if you tried hard enough.

          The Bills need a LT desperately. I can't stomach another Mike Williams if they take a tackle with #9 and he doesn't pan out. At 24 years old (according to Ravens' website,) he's young enough to have a bright future but already has some NFL experience. I'd try to talk them down to maybe a third and Whitner, since Ed Reed is good enough to make up for Whitner blowing coverages and missing tackles.

            As to the original poster, I would give up our second for Gaither in a heart beat and pray that we do.

                A solid, proven LT that paved the way for Ray Rice and was part of a solid o-line? I'd do it in a heartbeat. Would be better than Trent, Davis, or Campbell in my opinion.

                  i'd rather see them swap 1st round picks for Gaither.

                    Agreed there if this is true. Where'd you hear this?

                          I'd give them a 2nd and a conditional pick in a heartbeat!

                            On the surface, it certainly makes sense. The problem is, there must be some underlying reason, why the Ravens are prepared to deal a young guy, who played pretty well last year, at a position as highly valued generally, as OT is.
                            I don't know what that reason is, but without knowing, I'm not going to pull the trigger.
                            While the Ravens could well see Oher as their future LT, I'm not so sure that should be making Gaither automatically 'expendable'. There's something slightly odd about it that says a lot of 'due diligence' could be needed.

                              Thank you. That's what I keep asking myself.

                              Who gives away starting LT's and why hasn't anyone tried to aquire him yet ? Something isn't right here.
