Re: Rookie Camp Observations
"It’s easy to see why Eric DeCosta called Courtney Upshaw a “junkyard dog.”
Hope he's right, but that phrase reminds me of what a Cleveland Browns GM once said about his 1987 1st round draft pick (Mike Junkin LB from Duke). The guy was a huge bust... Bc

Re: Rookie Camp Observations
Thanx TJFS. I've posted this before... I see KO starting @ LG in 2012, then sliding over to LT in 2013. I don't give a hoot what the "experts" say (he's better suited to RT). McKinnie will almost surely be gone, and Oher is either a FA or a year from it. 2013 = KO - ? - Gradkowski - Yanda - Oher or Reid... Bc

Re: Rookie Camp Observations
He played LT his senior year @ Iowa State. I guess our experts, who've never been wrong, have already labeled him. I see GG learning from Birk, and OK doing the same with McKinnie. Unless people would be happy moving Oher back to LT or drafting a rookie to man the post in 2013 (?) KO actually has experience, is certainly big enough, and IMO should be groomed for the position...

Re: Rookie Camp Observations
We need continuity on the O-Line. I wouldnt even think about moving KO to LT. Just keep him at guard and let him progress. I don't want an Oher 2.0 and change positions every season.

Re: Rookie Camp Observations
While I agree with continuity, it is very likely the Ravens will have to fill LT in 2013. Why not with a guy who (hopefuly) plays LG in 2012, and has a year of LT (college) experience? Now you may be right that he stays @ LG and develops, but until there is another guy we can use at LT I still see KO as a viable option... Bc

Re: Rookie Camp Observations
Did anyone get automatically excited when they saw those videos of the rookies in Ravens Unis???
Aaahh i feel bad for non sportsfans, nothing can replace this. Love it.. RAVENS!!
BTW let it be on the record, that my favorite Rookie is CB Asa Jackson. I think he will be a stud in the NFL.Lardarius "The predator" Webb

Re: Rookie Camp Observations
I would much rather have him stay at a position where he can become dominant without position change.
2012/2013 O-Line:
McKinnie - Osemele - Birk - Yanda - Oher
2013/2014 O-Line:
Oher - Osemele - Gradkowski - Yanda - Reid
I honestly believe this would be the best option. I know Oher's contract is up after this year, but I trust him much more than any possible available Vet FA. This all depends if they can re-sign him for a decent contract. He knows the system, has played that position before, and works hard. It can't be any worse than McKinnie... With that said, we still need to draft a future LT in next year's draft. I really want Osemele to be our guy at LG.
