Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
I agree that Oher is way, way less than optimal at LT in 2013. But if we don't re-sign McKinnie and don't draft a day-one starter at LT... what happens? What if our developmental LT really does need to develop and doesn't win the job in training camp? What then?
McKinnie might be gone no matter what happens with the money. If we draft Quessenberry, Faulk, Bakhtiari, Long, etc. and they need to sit for a year... who plays LT? Do we sign another scrap heaper, if there is one? Do we REALLY feel better about Demetress Bell or Max Starks at LT rather than Oher?
This is a serious question. I really don't think the Ravens are going to get a day 1 starter at LT in this draft and I'm also hesitant to say McKinnie is definitely in their future plans. Who plays LT next year if that's the case?
Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
I'm 90% sure we'll have McKinnie back. I don't see him getting a large offer from anyone.

We might already have that developmental LT in KO. He was great for a rookie. I would not be shocked if he isn't competing for that LT job next year.

I'd rather him stay as a hard, he's been dominate. He struggled at right tackle at times, but you could see he was at home at guard.

Unfortunately, Oher. Even worse, is that Reid is prob at RT.
This is why many of us want both McKinnie and a rook. Cuz the last thing we want to see is Oher at LT.
Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
I was wondering are their anyone comming out of University of Del or Towson that we may be intrested like we were with Flacco and Gino?

They'll just have to sign Jake Long. No problem at all.
