...ya'all think that'll happen now? Will we wait until after June 1st, for comp pick reasons? Will he still be available?

I would think so. I read the Ravens had almost 20 open training camp roster spots available so I expect them to bring in some UDFA's as well as some vets. Even if they have faith in Wagner, Oz can't make the same mistake he did with Gino and not have any experienced vet competition.

Very realistic chance

Oz had vet competition with Gino, problem is the other guy sucked too LOL.

Honestly I think hurst will be given every opportunity to take the job given he stays healthy. I've read reports that he should be healthy by OTA's. If he isn't ready probably IR and get a guy like Winston. Especially since we're heading to the second part of free agency some quality vets will most likely be cut

Let's not forget KO can play RT...maybe they bring in a vet OG (probably be cheaper)

I'm interested in Winston but wouldnt be shocked if what I said were to happen too (SOMEONE CALL BOBBIE WILLIAMS!)

Winston had a rather poor year in AZ and he wasn't that great in KC either.

I'm not sure how much better he would be than Wagner or KO.

The problem is if you keep switching positions, it will hurt the player's progression (Oher). I say we keep KO at LG and search for a RT to battle Hurst and Wagner. More than likely Winston could be the guy. A cheap one year deal would be perfect.

They drafted Ricky Wagner with zone blocking in mind. They used him as their sixth lineman last year. They've already announced that he will get the opportunity to earn the RT spot and is somewhat of a front runner for the position.

You don't just draft guys to skip over ALL of them by drafting more guys the next year. If it shakes out that you find a better prospect at some point in the draft, great. If the draft shakes out that another RT prospect is just BPA by your criteria, so be it. But they didn't draft Wagner for no reason.

I'm sure that Winston is at least being discussed. He's kind of stuck money wise because as the leader of the NFLPA he has to be an active player. Eventually he's going to sign somewhere on the cheap.
