Draft / FA / Offseason Roster Moves (Merged)

[wickedsolo]

I've been advocating, on several posts, that KO may be able to be our LT of the future. I would not again move Oher back there because he cannot handle it. If McKinnie isn't resigned, and a high draft choice isn't used on LT, then IMO KO would be best suited there among any of our current Olinemen... Bc

Bc, I too would like to see KO get a crack at LT. I will say, while at RT he seemed to have issues with speed rushers and he just dominated at LG...so, it is kind of up in the air.

Thing is, they will have a shot at some solid guard prospects in rounds 1 and 2.

Jon Cooper
Barrett Jones
Dallas Thomas
Larry Warford
DJ Fluker

I think he has a place here since he has made his home here for the last 4 years and until he actually leaves, he still considers himself a Baltimore Raven.

Frankly, I don't think Ozzie is in the position to offer him a deal until he figures out what's going on with Joe...we don't even know how much cap space we are going to have.

Dude, I'm telling you...Flacco's deal is already done and in place.

I think the Ravens should take a hard look at Larry Grant... He's a guy that could just be in a bad spot. There aren't many guys that could start over Willis and Bowman. He's also really good in coverage.

I like him too. He would be excellent depth at the very least. Experienced 3-4 inside lb too.

His contract last year was for $1.2M, so it wouldn't take a lot of money to sign him - all things being equal. However, he did grow up in the San Francisco area, so maybe he wants to stay where he is.

Well, hopefully he wants a change of scenery.

For the record, I see Ellerbe signing a Cutris Lofton type deal, basically 25 over 5, 12 guaranteed, his first year cap hit was only $1M, so that would be pretty sweet if we got Ellerbe to agree to that.

Who would be interested in Martellus Bennet?

He could be something but I'd like to keep our funds for our critical needs. Too much talent at the position in the Draft to sign anyone from the market IMO.

Quite possible. Lofton had multiple years of high production though...that deal might be too high for Ellerbe. Then again, not a bad price for a starting ILB.

I would love to see him in a Ravens uniform.

Word is that he wants to play with his brother, Michael Bennett, who is a FA defensive end from the Bucs.

Good point.

Michael Williams and Dion Sims are similar skill sets to Bennett.

What about Delanie Walker?

He is a FA. He's a good blocker as well as an underrated receiver.
