The Ravens have displayed a lot of interest in Ohio State offensive tackle Reid Fragel, per a source."The Ravens are not taking Jimmy Smith at 26!" -- Me, the day before the 2011 Draft
"On their way to the podium, the Ravens FO is going to collectively step over my dead body and select...Breshad Perriman." -- Me, the day before the 2015 Draft

Re: LT Prospects
I haven't watched any Ohio State stuff, but Fragel's Combine numbers were pretty good. His arm length is quite short for a tackle, though--33" flat (1/2" shorter than Oher). The scouting reports I've read seem to have him pegged as a RT only prospect with good athleticism for a zone-blocking scheme, but a lot of technique issues.
I continue to think that the Ravens' apparent interest in RT-only type guys signals a comfort with Oher or Osemele on the blind side, FWIW.

Re: LT Prospects
Greg Cosell is on tape saying that he likes Pugh at left tackle. He also imagines that different teams have Pugh slotted at tackle, left or right, and guard. Finally he says that if Pugh is thought of by a team as a viable left tackle then he goes off the board at the end of round 1. If he's viewed as a guard, he'll last till round 2.
First Mayock and now Coselll are saying Pugh may go at the end of round one. Mayock's new Big Board has Pugh as his 24th best player.
I'm looking at YOU Ozzie. I'm not seeing other teams at the end of the round looking for a left tackle like the Ravens are looking and Cosell knows Ozzie.Last edited by ursula; 04-19-2013 at 06:55 PM.

Re: LT Prospects
I've heard a few people now say that they'd play him at LT until he proved he couldnt do it. The guy is such a technician and has such good feet you wanna believe it. He really is one of my fav prospects in this draft but his arm length scares me to death at the same time. I guess we are gonna find out real soon. I think he can be a Levitre type of guard and wish everyday that his arms were longer lol.

I think Pugh is very similar to Sam Baker.
Frankly, I don't have all that high of an opinion of Baker, but if you can live with Baker, I think that is what Pugh's ceiling.

According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

Re: LT Prospects
I like Pugh at guard way more, maybe even center. He has 32 inch arms, thats going to be an issue when you as him to play on the island, no matter how good his film is.

Sam Baker has 32 inch arms as well.
FTR...I don't like Pugh at tackle either, but at least he tries to use his arms on tape as opposed to Oher.
