Re: Senior Bowl Prospects
Center is just about the last position the Ravens will be drafting this year, at least early.
Re: Senior Bowl Prospects
Since the Ravens are locked into a "pound the rock" running-oriented O (courtesy of the fact that it's the only thing the HC seems comfortable with running), the Ravens damn sight better prioritize the O-line this year if they're to have any shot at pushing through a very tough schedule, which includes 3 West Coast road trips.
GO RAVENS!!!
Re: Senior Bowl Prospects
I would love to draft a big time Center, maybe even a Gaurd. I would also like to see what it would take to make a move on Michael Turner from San Diego. Perhaps trade Derick Mason and a third rounder if need be. I have faith in Ozzie.

Even with Mason, it'd probably take more than a 3rd rounder. But Turner should be fresh next season -- unlike LJ, who carried a major load this year -- and I don't know that it'd be a bad idea to spend a 1st round pick on Turner. (Hell...it'd be better than a wasted 1st round pick on Troy Smith, that's for sure.)
GO RAVENS!!!
Re: Senior Bowl Prospects
Isn't Chester supposed to take the center position anyway?
Re: Senior Bowl Prospects
I would guess that's why HDDream was suggesting we won't be drafting one.
Re: Senior Bowl Prospects
skay-
our team isn't stupid enough to spend a first round pick on troy smith. No one is. Excpet maybe the Browns.
So it's a moot point.
Re: Senior Bowl Prospects
Chester will be center, and he'll be a big time center at that. He's got the athleticism, strength, and intelligence to be a top-notch center.
I'd worry more about drafting an OG high, but there's a good chance the coaching staff is happy with starting Vincent. Who knows, though.
If Justin Blalock falls in the first, the Ravens may be tempted to take him. I think Aaron Sears and Ben Grubbs are also possibilities to take the RG spot.
Re: Senior Bowl Prospects
who knows, we might pick up Steinbach too..
Odds are looking like CB/RB/LB for our 1st rounder.

All signs point to the team cutting Vincent with Mulitalo and Flynn serving in backup roles. Flynn and Mule will have their deals restructured. I agree that Chester will be a killer center with Jason Brown remaining at LG. RG could go to a draft pick or a FA signing like Steinbach.
Re: Senior Bowl Prospects
I'd be perfectly fine seeing a OG at our pick. They tend to go later and you're usually able to pick the best guard in the draft around the bottom of the 1st round.
Rimpf is still around for backing up as well.
