Re: Kudos to BCRaven
Don't forget about the other guy the Ravens signed as a UDRFA, I can't remember his name, but he's like 6'8 and 330 lbs or something stupid like that, the guys massive and could be in the mix as a reserve tackle over Harewood.

Re: Kudos to BCRaven
UDFA James Carmon never signed with the Ravens if that is who you are talking about. Lawrence and Madsen signed and are both about 6'4" and more RT material. They did sign one tall tackle Jack Cornell who is 6'6" but i thnk only weighs about 310lbs. Most info I could find on him indicated that he would be a better gaurd than tackle prospect.
That leaves the depth chart at LT as Mckinnie, Oher and Harewood for now.

Re: Kudos to BCRaven
I don't want to be debbie downer but I am just not seeing what the fuss is about with guys like Boren, Jah Reid, and Harewood. These guys cannot seem to stay healthy or get on the field when they are healthy. I don't think that Harewood is going to amount to anything at this point, and I have major doubts if Boren and Reid are going to be anything other than perennial back-ups. The Ravens have a decent, but not great OL, but these guys have not been able to get any kind of playing time despite the Ravens having a few injuries on the OL. When they have gotten in games, they have not been very impressive.

Re: Kudos to BCRaven
If Reid had been the starting RT this past season, it would have been due to default, and not a demonstration of ability. I have watched him closely when he has been in games. I am not impressed. He isn't explosive coming off of the ball, and doesn’t seem to get the kind of push you want to see from a starting OT. I hope I am wrong, but I doubt the Ravens are planning for Reid to be a starting OT or OG for them anytime soon. The same goes for Boren. I doubt he will be anything more than a back-up.
How did Gradkowski look in the OTA's? Any chance that he could contribute this season, or is he another project?

Re: Kudos to BCRaven
Yeah James Carmon is who I meant, I thought we signed him.. oh well..
And Jah Reid was a 3rd round pick who we moved up to get, he's barely played any snaps for us. I highly doubt the Ravens are just going to settle with him being a back up, his size and athleticism is just too much to forget about. As for Gino, he is seen by many as the long term answer at center for when Birk retires/gets too old to be an NFL starting center.

Re: Kudos to BCRaven
Yikes! Let us fervently hope that the much maligned McKinnie stays healthy! I can't see us NOT getting an experienced OL body before the season starts. At LG we are looking at a rookie, a second-year RT and a UDFA. At C we have a rather old guy who is beginning to show his age and a rather unheralded rookie. And to develop these young guys at O line coach . . .
